Coming to a Los Angeles Kings game means I get to roam around Staples Center during game intermissions. Well, not really roam around because I knew I was definitely going to make a bee line for LudoBird. The only stinking problem in Staples Center is when you have Premiere seats, there are only two ways to get downstairs to the first floor. So getting up at a 2 minute penalty wasn't enough.
After asking a few of the ushers, I have finally found LudoBird but now with a few long lines. I didn't mind the wait because it gave me time to look over the menu and try to decide what to get. Oh crap, front of the line........umm, ummm, I will get the honey garlic wings and fried chicken sandwich, dark meat upon request. I'm requesting, I even asked if this is a lot of food to order the wings and sandwich, the lady said it is enough to share. The wings are the full wings and not the little ones and the sandwich is a regular size sandwich. I wanted to order the slaw but the lady pointed out it was already in the sandwich. Ok, great!! That's it, oh, and a beer. ha ha
Just the food came out to about $23, I would have paid that much for a hot dog or burger of some kind. When I brought it all back to my seat, the game had just resumed with the second period. Watching the action and asking if anyone wanted to try the wings, everyone said they were good. More food for me! I don't know if you can see the pictures I posted but these are huge ass wings. 4 giant wings smothered in honey, drowning in honey, glistening under the lights. That was a good appetizer but for some it was a meal. I start on the sandwich which also gets messy because there is sauce all in it. I don't know how I didn't get it all over my lap but this is better than your average chicken sandwich. A little bit of spicy, a little bit of tangy, a little bit of crunch, a little bit cold too but it was still that good. Otherwise, don't drool all over your keyboard checking it out. Get tickets for one of the games and try it for yourself.

Read moreFinally tried the LUdo at staples center during a Lakers game.
I've seen the chicken featured on food network shows.
Imo the chicken was good but I'm not convinced it was $12 good for 3 chicken strips.
The white meat was tender but the beating was just falling apart.
I choose the honey mustard sauce and it was blah. Didn't care for it.
Chicken was decent as far as chicken goes but did not meet the hype and definitely not worth it. Made my sons hot dog look like bargain...
Read moreGood, not great spot. Friendly staff. I got a spicy white meat fried chicken sandwich. It was not made great. It had spicy sauce and pickles. It tasted ok. Looked not great. $12.50 or something like that. I know food is more expensive at sporting events. I know it's hard for them to feed hundreds or thousands of people in a relatively small...
