"The huge success of Slutty Vegan in Atlanta cannot be overstated. Owner Pinky Cole founded the vegan burger business in 2018 as a delivery service, with people contacting her via Instagram to place orders for provocatively named meatless burgers like the One Night Stand and Ménage à Trois. She quickly amassed a large following, eventually leading to a food truck and late-night pop-ups around Atlanta University Center. Cole now has several restaurant locations around Atlanta in Westview, the Old Fourth Ward, Georgia Tech, Truist Park, Duluth, and Jonesboro, even expanding to Brooklyn. (The Spelman College location has closed.) She also owns Bar Vegan at Ponce City Market. The Dancehall Queen burger with sweet jerk plantains is a standout." - Beth McKibben, Henna Bakshi
