A Fried Chicken Food Truck? LudoBites Chef to 'Pop Up' at L.A. Street Food Festival
Via Ludo Leffebvre's website
What happens when you take one of the most creative chefs in town, put him in a food truck and add him to the line-up of the most buzz-worthy and anticipated food festival in town? You get some deep fried magic.Chef Ludovic Lefebvre, the Top Chef Masters contestant known for his small bites dishes at pop-up restaurants around Los Angeles, will be serving up his famous fried chicken in boneless bite-size servings at the L.A. Street Food Festival on Valentine's Day weekend. Fans of Ludo should be warned, though, as this is a one-time affair. In true LudoBites fashion, this truck, despite being wrapped in his logo, will only appear this one time.
Scheduled for February 13th at LA Center Studios, the festival will feature over 36 street food vendors (and that list continues to grow) alongside a number of UniqueLA design vendors. General admission will cost $5. With that price combined with L.A.'s penchant for street food, expect a mass of people. For those who must get their grubfest on, there's a $30 VIP pass (it's nearly sold out, we hear) that guarantees entry, among other perks.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
