The television show is based on the Lefebvres' pop-up restaurant LudoBites, which calls itself a "touring" restaurant "that has no permanent address and no phone number," according to the chef's website. The restaurant remains open for one night.

According to the L.A. Times article, Ludo Lefebvre, a South Bay resident, plans to follow the theme "tapas French Mex" and serve dishes such as "ceviche with cucumber water and purslane; 'French-style' fried tacos filled with brandade; squid with chorizo; crispy octopus with smoky chipotle; beef with black rise and lemon; and fois gras quesadilla with caramelized choucroute, radish, cheese and mustard vinaigrette."
