Belfast food spot starts 'Get Lizzo her Spice Bag' campaign after singer misses out on visit

After missing out on serving superstar Lizzo her much-craved 'spice bag' when she was in Belfast, a local food spot has started a campaign to unite the singer with their popular special.

Lizzo took to TikTok after her show-stopping Belsonic performance last week to reveal her disappointment at not being able to buy a spice bag after "stalking them for the last two days".

It was quickly revealed that the spice bag in question was from LASA Belfast, a Filipino fusion stall at Common Market in the city centre.

Elizabeth and Conor Brennan, owners of LASA, are now determined to make it up to the "Good as Hell" singer by promising her free vegan spice bags for life and renaming the dish "The Lizzo".

Belfast Live headed down to get their hands on the illusive spice bag with Filipino curry and hear about LASA's #GetLizzoHerSpiceBag campaign - and we can confirm, it's as good as Lizzo had imagined.

On how this all started, Elizabeth said: "Conor's my husband and he always picks up our son Ethan from school on a Thursday but then he was on a work call and I was like I'll pick him up because it wasn't that busy.

"I came back from this pick up at about 4pm and the guys from Hey Chick! were saying that there were people looking for you and she has a bodyguard - I was like it was probably just some rich person who had heard about the spice bags.

"The next day, one of my staff sent me the TikTok that Lizzo had done and she was eating the mushrooms from next door and I was like 'please don't tell me that's me - the more she talked about the situation I was like that's definitely me."

"I sent it to my husband and was like I hate you," she laughed. "I missed the concert and then missed feeding her as well."

The video now has over 7.4 million views on TikTok, bringing people from all over the country to LASA to get their hands on what Lizzo could not.

"All the people before they order the spice bag they are like 'here, how about Lizzo' so we have been saying to people if they are posting it online to keep tagging her.

"We've decided to name the vegetarian and vegan as a Lizzo Spice Bag," she added.

Now viral online, we can only hope that Lizzo will make a return to the city to see what all the hype is about for herself.

Elizabeth continued: "Lizzo, I love you - I missed your concert and I can't belive I didn't feed you as well. But if you come back, I swear - spice bags for free for your whole entire life.

"Come back to me every year!"
