Batch Restaurant in Culver City Welcomes Chef Dan Moody for Five Nights of Pop-Up Dining

The partners of newly opened Batch Restaurant and Bar in Culver City are collaborating with chef Dan Moody on a five-night pop-up restaurant on Tuesday, February 18, through Saturday, March 3rd. 

The idea of a Pop-Up restaurant is not a new one. LudoBites, for example, is a restaurant by Chef Ludo Lefebvre that since it opened in 2007, has no permanent address and no phone number. Calling itself a “touring” restaurant, it moves from restaurant to restaurants in different parts of Los Angeles. Food critic Jonathan Gold has named a LudoBites dish as a Top 10 Dish of the Year for each of 2007, 2009, and 2010 and has called it a “Kitchen of a Genius.” 

Chef Dan Moody served as a sous chef to Ludo Lefevre at LudoBites throughout 2010.

Batch Restaurant is located in East Culver City at 8631 Washington Blvd. Make reservations here.

Here is the tentative menu for the Pop-Up at Batch Restaurant, posted to his tumbler account last week.
