About Pinky Cole

Pinky Cole is an American restauranteur. She is the owner and operator of Slutty Vegan, a plant-based burger restaurant chain in Atlanta, GA. In July 2018, Cole was inspired to create a vegan restaurant due to her own cravings for junk food. She came up with the name Slutty Vegan as a provocative hook. In 2018 she sold her first vegan burgers through delivery apps and opened a food truck in September of that year. In January 2019, she opened the first Slutty Vegan brick and mortar restaurant. The restaurant is known for its long lines with hours-long waits. She has opened many other locations since and gained the attention of restaurant investor Danny Meyer who has invested in taking her chain national.
