This story came about when visionary, charismatic master chef, Ludo Lefebvre, and his Los Angeles cult hit “pop-up” restaurant LudoBites are worshipped by critics and foodies. When Chef Ludo announced he was opening a pop-up restaurant in Hawaii featuring local flavors we paired him up with elite waterman, big wave charger and champion spearfisherman Mark Healey to catch the ingredients. As word spread about the project, fellow foodies 5x World Champ Steph Gilmore and Pipeline charger Reef McIntosh jumped on-board giving Ludo a solid crew to accompany him around the Big Island’s North Kona Coast in search of Lobster, Crab, Uku and other local fish to be prepared, cooked and enjoyed.
Collaboration with Chef Ludo led by Mark Woolsey, Executive Producer. Director Todd Saunders, Filmed by Dan Dixon, Sonny Miller.
