Planta - Steven Salm (plant based restaurant group)
Every year, more and more people are changing their diets to plant-based. There are a variety of factors for this which include health, sustainability, and climate change to name a few. The palate of the average American is evolving, and yet the restaurant industry isn\u2019t keeping up. This gap in the market is where Planta, a 100% plant-based restaurant group, is betting on its figurative farm. Launched in 2016, they\u2019ve expanded to 11 locations across The United States and Canada, with a whole bunch more still on the way including in California, Georgia, and New York. Steven Salm, our guest today and the founder of PLANTA, wants to alter the perception of plant-based restaurants one diner at a time.Today we talk with Steven about:
