Marilu Henner was crowned grilling champion in the contest sponsored by Live with Kelly that pitted her vegan portobello entree against Ashanti’s chicken dish.
The celebrities were competing for their favorite charities and Henner won $25,000 for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an organization promoting plant-based diets as a solution to many of today’s common health problems like heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
“I’m just so thrilled, you have no idea. Thank you so much for the opportunity… I’m just so happy for them , it’s really a wonderful organization,” Henner said.
Henner’s Grilled Mushroom And Heirloom Tomato Summer Dish was chosen by viewers in an online voting poll.
Although Henner won the top prize, Ashanti was still able to take home $5,000 for her charity, the Boys and Girls Club of America.
Maybe Ashanti’s charity will also take home new vegetarian snacks ideas to serve to adolescents in the communities it serves.
