4 MIN READ – Two culinary powerhouses are set to converge in the heart of the Chicago Loop as Pinky Cole, the visionary founder of the renowned Slutty Vegan restaurant, joins forces with the last remaining Native Foods location in the city on June 6. This historic collaboration marks a momentous occasion for food enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and the community alike.
In November 2023, a significant shift occurred when Dame Dia, the current District Manager, assumed ownership of the Native Foods location at 218 S. Clark St, Chicago, IL. This transition not only transformed the establishment into a Black-owned enterprise but also into an employee-owned venture, embodying a spirit of empowerment and inclusivity.
To celebrate this landmark moment and the vibrant culinary scene of Chicago, Slutty Vegan will take over Native Foods and host a pop-up event on June 6 from 12-6 p.m. Located at the Native Foods venue, early arrival is strongly encouraged as anticipation builds for an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
Guests will have the exclusive opportunity to indulge in the mouth watering creations that have garnered national acclaim for Slutty Vegan. From tantalizing plant-based burgers to savory sides, each dish promises to delight the senses and redefine the boundaries of vegan cuisine.
In line with the collaborative spirit of the event, all orders must be placed in person at the location, fostering a sense of community engagement and shared experience. This unique format not only ensures the freshest dining experience but also allows attendees to interact directly with the culinary innovators behind the scenes.
Pinky Cole's dedication to supporting businesses across the nation extends beyond culinary excellence to mentorship and collaboration. Through initiatives like these pop-up events, she continues to inspire and uplift aspiring entrepreneurs, fostering a culture of empowerment and possibility.
Don't miss your chance to be part of this momentous occasion as Slutty Vegan and Native Foods come together to redefine the boundaries of plant-based cuisine. Follow @SluttyVeganATL and @Chicago.nativefoods on social media for updates and announcements leading up to the event.
