The mission of plant-based fast-food chain Slutty Vegan, says founder Pinky Cole, is to change the conversation around vegan food and make it more mainstream. She talks with correspondent Faith Salie about her improbable success, and how feeding one famous customer was the lucky break that helped launched her business.

I am vegan now for 3 years. The food is much better than what i used to eat. So much flavor and smells so good with all those veggies.

“I am now the person who is giving opportunities instead of begging for one”. Ooooh, gave me chicken skin! Lift as you climb, yes! I love this woman & can’t wait to try her food. We need Slutty Vegan frozen meals in every Walmart & Safeway so even people on Kauai, like me, can get some of this deliciousness. I am an amazing vegan cook. How about a Slutty Vegan cooking show competition? Let’s show the whole world how to make delicious vegan foods. I love Pinky Cole. She is my inspiration. ❤️

For ThanksLiving I made a vegan cheeze ball, cashew and herbs spreadable cheeze, foccachia with thyme, rosemary, and sage, homenade cranberry sauce, corn, and Gardein Turk'y Roast and gravy, and everyone enjoyed it even more than roasted baby animal corpse. Veganism is love 💚🌱

The key thing to remember, is that this is vegan “junk food” and she chooses her words very carefully she talks about being better for the planet , calls it a gateway food , “vegan comfort food”, you may be able to make an argument that it is slightly healthier than a regular burger and fries , but I promise eating bunch of impossible meat and all those highly processed “plant based” meats and cheeses, you are not doing your body much good, if you are eating plant based especially for health reasons the key is whole foods ( real fruits and vegetables) plant based diet , this should be treated like any other junk food and eaten in moderation as treat if you do indulge , it’s a lot of people eating food like this on a regular bases thinking they’re being healthy… but also salute to her success

I'm vegan 6yrs now. My hubby and I went to the one in Fairfield, Alabama, when we went to see our grandson football game at HBCU Miles college. and it was awesome! I loved it and bought 2 Slutty Vegan shirts. Will definitely go to the one in Atlanta. I had the One night stand and slutty fries and my hubby had the Fussy Tussy. They were good. Much success to you Queen. ❤️

I've been a vegetarian since the '80s (I'm 63 now), and on most days I am a vegan. I'd love to go to this restaurant. Although, it reminds me when 'Martin' (Martin Lawrence TV sitcom) worked at "Hoochie Burger." 'Could you, please, speak directly into the hoochie.' LoL! Classic.

True. However, if you are going to eat junk food, it might as well be plant based junk food. Better for the planet and for all the Eartthlings on it. Unlike red and processed meat, at least vegan junk food isn't carcinogenic.

The US needs Pinky to influence the next generation. Most people in her situation would have ended up with children out of wedlock or in prison. She is doing better than many Gen Z-ers and millenials with none of the resources they had. I bet she had a strong mother that gave her that tenacity to always strive and never be a victim. Great story.
