If we haven’t said it before, “we <3 you @chefludo + @frenchchefwife (aka in the “REAL” world as Ludovic + Krissy Lefebvre!) You guys EFFIN rock!!! *MUAH*”
And what does this have to do with at all with the pending and “temporary” removal of the NOM NOM PORK (only 1 more day left ya’ll), and to THAT I say “is it wrong for one couple to emphatically and platonically express their love for another couple in a forum that maybe 6 or 7 people read anyway??? I think not” (but don’t forget the NOM NOM PORK is going away.. maybe for 2 months LOL)
SOOOOoooo, we’ve met a lot of people that we’ve inspired by our “crazy” antics starting from our apartment, and I just thought we’d to take a moment to show you who has inspired us! (I’m sure I just lost about all our readers now… damn you guys are a fickle crowd!)
If ya want to know more about Ludo, check out his personal summary HERE OR his pop-up restaurant sensation (LudoBites) HERE. There’s enough of him on that/there internetS that you’ll get the gist. (and if you find any of the Top Chef Masters episodes he’s in, watch ‘em… and let the HILARITY ensue… weeeeeeeee!)
(here he is… the guy w/ the birthday cake… they just HAPPENED to celebrate his birthday this Saturday when we went… COOL!)
Long story really short:
I twitter-stalked them, reached out and they actually responded!
Long story made a LIL bit longer:
As we were slowly growing (which I STILL can’t believe to this day), I was reading more about the food biz and all the different personalities and all of a sudden I kept on seeing Krissy and Ludo’s names poping up (no pun intended) LITERALLY EVERYWHERE on the internet. He was and is seriously the Dining Darling of LA right now. When I finally took the time to figure out what the hell LudoBites was (hey, we’re all n00bs at one point in time.. right?… RIGHT??? ^_^), I was like..
“Wait a minute, they’re a husband and wife duo that has setup a renegade kitchen?!?! HEY, we’re a husband and wife duo with a renegade kitchen TOO and kinda similar but the low profile version”
(similar in many respects… except height! They kinda tower over us… but in a nice and attractive way, I promise!)
(Krissy taking the picture of her French hubby blowing out the cake from Kiss My Bundt… which was frickin’ MOIST and delicious btw)
So I literally DID reach out publicly via Twitter, and shortly there after (to my amazement) they BOTH responded… and after months of email + Twitter correspondence + the passing of LudoBites 3.0 (which I read about in AWE living vicarious through all the blogs, tweets and etc) they actually showed up on our door step on a Sunday afternoon (aka SK NoHo secret lunch service!), and thus began the LEFEBVRE LOVEFEST. :)
And since then, they’ve personally “popped-up” (<- pun INTENDED there) at SKDT, have been very supportive of what we’re doing and are now doing the most awesome-licious LudoBites 4.0 (we went last Saturday… and had 1 of EVERYTHING… OMG, so good… and we were so damn FULL). There’s unfortunately a wait list a 1000 people long (and I don’t believe that’s an exaggeration, it’s actually THAT long), so you might have to wait for his famous Ludo’s Fried Chicken nights (we still haven’t been ourselves) or next LudoBites (if there is one) to meet/taste his delectable (and many times hilarious) bites.
Btw, they’re SUPER COOL and very nice too.. forget all this other stuff, they’re just good peeps which is what matters the most (remember, SKDT - “Keep SKDT D-Bag Free!”)
So there you have it… an actual, genuine anecdote from us. It’s not all non-sequitur antics and New Wave Weds videos here at SK… hey, we have a soul and we have people we look up to as well (excluding Chuck Norris of course… damn you CHUCK, I’ve resisted mentioning you for SO long.. why now… WHHHHHY?)
And with that I’ll close by saying you’ll see our support of Ludo + Krissy today, which is coincidentally “SK CASUAL FRIDAY” for our staff, with our LudoBites t-shirts!
(well, you’ll at least see the Kitchen Ninja wearing it, I got called in to JURY DUTY today… DOH!)
HAPPY FRIDAY… FRIENDS
(Enjoy your new “Coq” … necklace Chef!)
Xoxo,
Team SK
