Mama Lo's was a popular and well-known soul food restaurant located in Gainesville, Florida. It was founded by, operated by, and named for Lorene "Mama Lo" Alexander in 1975 until her retirement in 2005. Located only a few blocks from the University of Florida, the establishment proved popular with students, townsfolk and travellers alike. It was also frequented by many local musicians such as Bo Diddley, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Stranger Band and Sister Hazel. With reasonably-priced lunch dishes, UF alumni over the decades reminisce about their favorite Mama Lo's servings, such as chicken and rice, broccoli casserole, and sweet tea. It is said that through the Southern, home-style cooking Mama Lo served to loyal customers for over three decades, she put her four children through college in Gainesville. Mama Lo's was located at 618 NW 6th Street in Gainesville, Florida. Lorene "Mama Lo" Alexander died in 2007, at the age of 85. ==References== *''Southern Food: At Home, on the Road, in History'', John Egerton 1993 UNC Press ISBN 0-8078-4417-9 pp. 75–76 () *''Two for the Road: Our Love Affair with American Food'', Jane and Michael Stern, Houghton Mifflin, 2006 ISBN 0-618-32963-3 () *"Mama Lo Serves Up A Feast in Her Unpretentious Gainesville Cafe," Jane and Michael Stern, Ocala Star-Banner, 12 October 1989. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=PxAwAAAAIBAJ&sjid=swYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6812%2C2621504 *Former patrons remember Mama Lo's, 1975 and 2005: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/129635 *Mama Lo's Broccoli Casserole recipe: http://www.borders.com/online/store/ArticleView_recmamalosbroccolicasserole *Notable passings in 2007.
