It might just be the end for Planta, David Lee's made-in-Toronto plant-based restaurant empire, as the chain filed for bankruptcy.The 2016 lovechild between Toronto culinary icon, David Lee (then of Nota Bene fame) and CEO Steven Salm, Planta all began with an original location in Yorkville, before taking on major cities across North America over the near-decade that would follow.Locations in Florida, Atlanta, New York City, Los Angeles and D.C. all cropped up in short succession, on top of additional Toronto locations, including now-defunct experiments like Planta Cocina and Planta Burger and the still-bustling location on Queen.It would be an understatement to say that Lee and Salm caught a current with Planta that carried them all the way to the bank.
