Ali Khan is a television host and multi-hyphenate creative known for his vibrant presence in the food and comedy world. He is the current host of Food Network’s popular show, "Spring Baking Championship," and gained widespread recognition through his breakout series "Cheap Eats," which ran for five successful seasons on Cooking Channel. The show, now streaming on Discovery Plus, took Khan across 40 states and 59 cities, highlighting affordable, delicious eats. His infectious personality and passion for food have also made him a regular on other Food Network staples, including "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," and a judge on "Chopped" and "Chopped Junior."

A seasoned food writer, Khan’s work has appeared in publications like "Texas Highways," "Black Book Magazine," "LA TACO," and "Urban Daddy."

Beyond writing, Khan created the YouTube series "Ali vs The Dome" and the vlog series "blackbookali," which was part of Tastemade’s initial content launch. His deep passion for food and performance has roots in his formal training in theatrical arts at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Southern California, where he earned a B.A. in Theater Studies.
