Soul Man: Larry White
Larry White has one of the best autograph collections in the Valley and it covers the walls of his landmark restaurant, Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles. Celebs such as rappers DMX and Too Short, Suns superstars Amaré Stoudemire and Shawn Marion, and actors like K-Ville star Anthony Anderson have all added their sigs to the interior of White's decadent dining establishment in south Phoenix, after having supped on his signature meal of Southern fried chicken and delicious golden waffles. The restaurateur figures he's dished out more than 100,000 servings of the bird-and-battercake combo during his five years of running the joint, as well as such scrumptious soul food standards as mac 'n' cheese, buttery grits, and catfish, the recipes for which he learned from his gourmand grandma, Elizabeth White of Mrs. White's Golden Rule Café in downtown Phoenix. Stop by Lo-Lo's, and make sure you leave room for a slice of decadent red velvet cake.
