LudoBites: Recipes and Stories from the Pop-Up Restaurants of Ludo Lefebvre

by Ludovic Lefebvre

Visionary, charismatic master chef, Ludo Lefebvre, and his Los Angeles cult hit “pop-up” restaurant LudoBites are worshipped by critics and foodies alike. LudoBites , the book, is at once a chronicle and a cookbook, containing tales of the meteoric career of this “rock star” of the culinary world (who was running kitchens at age 24) and the full story of his brilliant innovation, the “pop up” or “touring” restaurant that moves from place to place. The star of the popular cable program, Ludo Bites America , on the Sundance Channel, also offers phenomenal four-star recipes born out of the need to be mobile. Readers who love food, who admire genius, and fans of TV’s Top Chef , Top Chef Masters , and Iron Chef are going to want a taste of LudoBites.

The timeline of this is so off from what I remember but hey, I was just a customer, not a player [insert Gallic shrug here] and some of the recipes are definitely not as I remembered, although the book and stories stress there was a lot of collaboration and evolution of dishes

Thanks to my friend Casey for this! Great read and will eventually try all the recipes (say in the next five years!). The Bread Soup, Gruyère Marshmallow is a perfect comfort food.
