Ludo Bites Raleigh tonight on Sundance

Chef Ludo Lefebvre brought his pop-up restaurant to Raleigh in March to make his own version of North Carolina barbecue, a la The Pit, and staged his event at The Pit's sister restaurant Gravy (Andrea Weigl explains more about what a "pop-up" restaurant is).

Everything was captured for Chef Ludo's Sundance television show, "Ludo Bites America," in which he travels the country with his business partner and wife (Krissy, riding the hog at left) creating a new one-night-only restauarant and menu for each episode. The Sundance website describes the Raleigh episode as "a BBQ pig out with a French twist" (short video promo).
