Chef Swan grew up in the South around great cooks who inspired her to become a Chef. Selftaught for more than 30 years on vegan food innovation techniques, the dream of having her own spot was finally realized. In 2018 she opened Canna Bistro and rolled out her own

infused brand of cannabis and CBD products grown on an organic co-op farm in Colorado. A temporary closure of the restaurant during the pandemic allowed her to re-imagine Canna Bistro’s menu & location by taking it on the road. Canna Bistro is Georgia’s most awarded vegan restaurant with a loyal underground following. Enjoyed by both carnivores and veggie eaters alike, the menu features indulgent vegan, vegetarian, and the occasional pescatarian specials made with organic, clean ingredients that does the body good. In 2021, Canna Bistro was voted Healthiest Black Owned Restaurant as well as Best of Georgia Vegan Restaurants. In addition, Chef Swan & her team at Canna Bistro were awarded by Door Dash’s Mainstreet Accelerator and honored by Discover Card’s Eat It Forward. Canna Bistro celebrity sightings and famous ATL Alien customers include; Big Gipp, Waka Flocka, Lil Scrappy, and even T.I. has a smoothie named after him on the menu.

Canna Bistro has the distinction of being the 1st cannabis infused restaurant to open in the South. Prior to the pandemic, the brand lauded a $12 million dollar valuation in its second year of operation. The challenges of owning a cannabis restaurant in a region where legalization is still an ongoing dilemma brought about the decision to move to private events and catering by evolving into a mobile food brand. This lead to the company’s decision to close their physical location(s) to support their new mobile direction. A more recent move has since been to retire the company through a transfer of assets. Piggybacking off the success of Canna Bistro, Chef Swan has taken a flavor pivot by launching The Plant Trap. The Plant Trap is an edgy infused vegan brand with a dirty south vibe. This pivot pays homage to Chef Swan’s Memphis roots. Growing up in North Memphis and understanding the cross between southern hip hop culture as it relates to food, Plant Trap is all about the food of the streets mixed with the finesse of a true food boss. The brand is aiming for global recognition through franchising and helping others to become owners in the legal cannabis food game. The concept rolls out with a vision of bringing that Memphis twang to palettes around the world.

At the time of this printing, Franchising opportunities are available in Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, District of Columbia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Colorado. Plant Trap makes its market debut during the month of August in Atlanta at the Women Who CANnabis Business Expo. Chef Swan recently signed a deal with XOD Network to create cannabis related food content. She makes her network debut with Cannabis & Conversations, a cooking show centered around the kind of food you will find only at the Plant Trap. The show will stream later in the year.
