Social media filled my belly
Social Media is permeating all facets of our daily lives, sites like Twitter and Facebook tell us where to go, what to do, who to like and what/where to eat.
Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles, Scottsdale
A recent tweet (noun~A message posted via Twitter containing 140 characters or fewer),
from a local restaurant that I follow caught my attention. Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles mentioned that they were looking for for a graphic designer to help them with a project and as I happen to know a few, I recommended Maureen Pasley of Pasley Design. Within minutes, Maureen (@immodiggity on twitter), had spoken to Lo-Lo’s, gotten a general idea of what they were looking for and got to work on a draft. A few short hours later she had a preliminary design which Lo-Lo’s liked, social media success!
The story could easily have ended there but WAIT (as they say), there’s MORE! Lo-Lo’s was quite happy with the outcome of their twitter request and to thank me for the recommendation, offered me a plate of their delicious chicken & waffles on the house! (which I graciously accepted).
On to what you really care about…the FOOD!! I ordered ‘Sheedah’s Special,’ A fried chicken breast and wing served with a waffle.

My favorite part of eating fried chicken is the crispy skin and Lo-Lo’s doesn’t disappoint. The skin was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, the meat itself was plump and juicy (many people and restaurants seem to dry out their birds, a tragedy). The waffle was sweet with a hint of cinnamon and a great compliment to the savory chicken.
I must say, if you want a bit of ‘soul’ in your food, Lo-Lo’s is a great place to get it, if you’re an avid ‘tweep,’ follow some of your favorite restaurants on twitter and social media might just fill YOUR belly.
I’m not a ‘professional‘ writer (meaning I don’t get paid to write about my meals), and since said meal was gratis, this piece is less a ‘review‘ than a charming story in which I happen to voice my opinion about what/where I ate.

I really have no excuse for not having eaten at Lo-Lo’s…it’s close to my house and I love both fried chicken and waffles equally. I do not discriminate.
Thanks for sharing- a true testament to the power of Social Media! I’ve had similar experiences…and for those of us who like instant gratification, social media is the best!
Gotta luv the ability to get nearly instant responses to just about any question that you might have! (note: GO EAT Lo-Lo’s!!)
