"Planta Queen, a member of a meat-free restaurant empire out of Toronto, brings elegant nigiri, bao, noodles, and herb-filled cocktails to a bustling Northwest D.C. corner on Wednesday, April 26. After opening several omnivorous restaurants across Canada and the U.S., owner Steven Salm went vegan and founded Planta to 'change the perception of how people view plant-based food' in how it 'tastes, looks, feels, and acts.'" - Evan Caplan
