Vegan entrepreneur Pinky Cole will be joining the cast of the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, bringing more visibility to veganism. She shared in an interview with VegNews about her lifestyle and business, including her iconic burger chain and balancing parenthood with entrepreneurship. Alongside this exciting news, Trader Joe’s has launched vegan marshmallow Easter eggs, Purple Carrot has a limited-edition meal delivery collaboration with Robin Arzón, Salt & Straw released a new vegan ice cream flavor, and Health-Ade has introduced a Strawberry Mango Chili kombucha.

Additionally, Michelin-starred chef Dan Barber's vegetable company Row 7 has revamped canned vegetables with high-quality ingredients, now available at Whole Foods Market. On a sadder note, popular vegan burger joint Fat Boys Vegan Burgers in Brooklyn announced its closure, but the team is exploring future ventures and currently hosting comedy shows in the restaurant space until it shuts down in June 2026.
