Atlanta restaurant founder Aisha Cole, known for her popular 'Slutty Vegan' concept, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Court documents reveal the business owes nearly $1.4 million in debt, primarily $1.2 million to the U.S. Small Business Administration and $192,000 to the Georgia Department of Revenue.

Cole's venture, which began as a food truck in 2018 and expanded rapidly to 14 locations before several closed, faces significant financial strain. The next step involves a bankruptcy teleconference scheduled for March 12th, with a formal repayment plan due by June 12th.
