Peter and I were honored to have Ludo’s mom, Colette (visiting from France) join us for dinner during this taping of Ludo Bites America. Even with the foie gras protesters, camera crew and screaming Ludo (he “expresses” himself loudly), we felt it was one of the best Ludo Bites ever (meaning we loved EVERY dish). Because in the end… it really is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!

Glad Ludo yelled at those Fois Gras protestors. Douche bags. I have a few choice words for those people myself . . . . ok, two choice words.
