[6] Coscarelli was a contestant in Cupcake Wars , her vegan cupcakes garnering her first prize. [7] [8] She became the first vegan to win a culinary competition on television and was named to the 2017 Class of 30 Under 30 by Forbes . [9]

By Chloe

In mid-2015, Coscarelli partnered with ESquared Hospitality to open the vegan fast casual restaurant By Chloe [14] (stylized by CHLOE) on Bleecker Street in the West Village of New York City. [15] By 2017 the chain comprised five locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan, [14] with additional locations in Los Angeles, Providence, and Boston. [16] In July 2017, Coscarelli was forced out by ESquared in an arbitration award after she filed suit in 2016 over control of the company. [17] In December 2020, By Chloe filed for bankruptcy. [18]

In 2021, it was acquired by "a consortium of investors that already had stakes in the company," and rebranded as "Beatnic." [19] [20]
