LudoBites 5.0 Will Return to Gram & Papa's this Summer
Exciting news for fans of Chef Ludo Lefebvre and his guerrilla-style pop-up restaurant. Just announced this morning: LudoBites will return this summer for its fifth incarnation at Downtown's Gram & Papa's, the site of the triumphant version 4.0 just a few months ago.
Reservations are always prized for LudoBites; the books will open up online July 7th, for the first two weeks of the July 21-September 3 run, with rolling openings for reservations day by day for two weeks ahead following.
Chatting with Lefebvre and his wife Krissy this weekend at Dwell on Design we were reminded to expect the unexpected: new menu, new food adventures, and new tastes to explore are what will await diners--and Chef Ludo, come July 21.
