Vaya con Dios, Angel Miranda.

RIP: Angel Miranda, founder of Lola’s

While a frequent visitor for many years, I had the privilege of dining at Lola's very shortly after its reopening from Katrina and will NEVER forget the power failure that occurred the night in question, and Angel bringing in lights hooked up to his car's battery to provide enough light so he could continue preparing his orders and feed his patrons that had already been seated.

Dinner by industrial Halogen work lights in the wake of Katrina... you had to have been there. Truly a magical evening and surely one of my most memorable NOLA dining experiences EVER.

Godspeed Mr. Miranda
