About Ludo Lefebvre: Chef Ludo Lefebvre is one of Los Angeles' most influential chefs and a global culinary authority. After training under renowned chefs including Pierre Gagnaire and Alain Passard in France for 12 years, Ludo moved to Los Angeles to take the helm of fine-dining restaurants L'Orangerie and Bastide, where he was quickly awarded the prestigious Mobil Travel Guide Five Star Award. He then pioneered the the pop-up restaurant phenomenon with LudoBites in 2010, a multi-city restaurant tour which transformed the Los Angeles dining scene and was praised by renowned food writers Jonathan Gold and Sam Sifton.

In 2013, Ludo introduced his inventive, refined cooking at Trois Mec, which earned four stars from Los Angeles Magazine and LA Weekly and was named "Best New Restaurant" by both publications.

More recently, Ludo opened his brunch-only restaurant Trois Familia in Silver Lake – which has topped many best new restaurant lists since opening in the fall of 2015 – as well as his fried chicken-centric LudoBird that can be found at premium locations within the STAPLES Center and Universal CityWalk in Hollywood.

Ludo was nominated for two James Beard Awards in 2017 for "Best Chef: West" and for his work on PBS' Emmy-winning show, Mind of a Chef.
