Plant is food<\/a>, it’s the title of the vegan restaurant in Asheville, NC, which has been around for just about 12-years since the summer of 2011, and is located at 165 Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC 28801. Started by Jason Sellers, Leslie Armstrong, and Alan Berger, Plant has made it’s mark on the culinary landscape not just from the expertly prepared meals, but for taking plant-based cuisine to new levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had the fortune to visit Plant on several occasions for dinner with family, and the dining experience has been delightful every time. Not only is the food prepared to perfection, but the bar has a creative collection of libations to whet any appetite for infusions and spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
