Nubian Queen Lola’s Soul Food

This afternoon, I stopped working to grab a quick lunch. After cruising the usual suspect cable channels, I found the Texas Country Reporter featuring a story about Lola Stephens and her Nubian Queen Lola’s Soul Food cafe. What an amazing woman. Lola’s is a one-woman show who makes burgers, po’boys, shrimp etouffe, among others.Too bad Curtie doesn’t live in Austin anymore, I’d like to stop by Lolas. But not on Sunday because that is the day she feeds the homeless.

Here is a story from the Austin Chron, as well as the Texas Journalist that also featured Lola when she participated in a 2005 benefit for those displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Finally, the Austin Decider provides a quick review of her cafe.
