This Person Deserves an Award, Pt. 2

Lola Stephens Bell (l), bka Queen Lola.
Hear ye, hear ye, all hail the greatness of Queen Lola. Lola Stephens Bell truly knows the meaning of generous reciprocity. Having spent two years as a homeless person, Queen Lola (as referenced by her customers) was blessed to establish a successful soul food restaurant in Austin's impoverished east side. Beyond being the first person in Austin to throw a benefit for incoming Katrina victims in 2005, Queen keeps her restaurant open 6 days a week, only to close on Sundays in order to serve Austin's homeless population.

And yes, the food is the bomb.

Long live the Queen... PEACE
