Unless you’ve lived in Los Angeles recently or are a fan of “Top Chef,” there’s very little chance you know Ludo Lefebvre.
But for hardcore foodies, Lefebvre is a rock star.
Like other innovative chefs who have yet to break big in the public consciousness, his influence is being felt across the country, including in the Tampa Bay area.
Lefebvre’s pioneering example of creating temporary “pop-up” restaurants has spread across the United States and inspired chefs such as Jeannie Pierola of Tampa to create their own instant-eateries.
