LudoBites TEN: One More L.A. Pop-Up For the Fans
While soon Angelenos will be able to find Chef Ludo Lefebvre at a permanent location, there's still room for one more L.A. pop-up, and that means a tenth installation of LudoBites in December.
LudoBites TEN will feature the innovative cuisine of Lefebvre in a familiar place, as the pop-up returns to Downtown's Gram & Papa's for weeknight dinners December 4 through the 21.
Lefebvre's wife Krissy, who serves as the ultimate front of house wrangler for the pop-ups here and around the country, explained a bit more about the significance of this tenth L.A. pop-up:
"This is really a celebration of what LudoBites has meant to us and acknowledging our fans by bringing back some of the favorites from the past (minus foie gras of course). I look at it as the stories and recipes of LudoBites created the cookbook and now the cookbook is inspiring one more run with great memories hitting the plate."

In fact, the interaction factor will be upped this time around; keep your eyes out for chances for guests to help shape the menu through social media.
And as an even nicer holiday-time bonus, LudoBites TEN will be supporting the Cart for Cause EAT GOOD | DO GOOD program, by donating a $1 for each of two different dishes sold through the run.
Reservations will be available by lottery through UrbanSpoon; the lottery starts November 28 at 11 a.m. local time.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
