Pop Up Restaurants Make Mark in Tampa
July 26, 2011Tampa Tribune: Pop-up restaurants make their mark – even in Tampa
"TAMPA — 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. (Her Kitchenbar concept opens for a third time Tuesday in South Tampa.) Trained in French kitchens and celebrated for innovative cuisine and an unorthodox rise to prominence in the late 1990s at restaurants in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Lefebvre became well-known among West Coast food fans when he opened LudoBites in 2007 with a raft of eclectic and funky food. Think chocolate foie gras cupcakes and soft-shell-crab-stuffed cornets."
