The Mind of a Chef
Preview | Season 5 Episode 4: LudoBird
How does a chef trained in the finest kitchens of France translate his haute cuisine to fast food? Ludo’s obsession with a perfectly cooked bird can be traced back to France, where he learned to roast chicken, and his love for the American classic was solidified when he ate at KFC for the first time. Season 5 of THE MIND OF A CHEF premieres October 2016 (check local listings).
