He's Baaaaaaack! LudoBites Returns to Gram & Papa's This Summer
Before you set your DVR to record Chef Ludo Lefebvre's new Sundance Channel show about taking his pop-up restaurant adventure on the road around the country, set yourself a reminder to make a reservation for his L.A. LudoBites pop-up, which, as announced yesterday, returns to DTLA's Gram & Papa's August 3 to September 10th.
The site of two previous pop-up rounds (4.0 and 5.0, for those who are keeping tabs), this 7th version of the occasional restaurant, dubbed 007, is making the most, and more, of a great space that has proven successful. Lefebvre and the LudoBites team say that the space--a popular lunchtime sandwich spot by day--is somewhere they "really feel at home."
Reservations will open on July 14th; in the meantime, you can follow Ludo and his equally charming restaurant manager maven wife, Krissy, on Twitter, or on Facebook, to get updates about the coming pop-up. See you at 007!
