Laurent "Lou" Correa was formerly a professional basketball player in France and is of
Senegalese descent. He was 6'6" and played
small forward for seven years. Lou first experienced French cuisine when he was in boarding school for basketball. He stopped playing basketball due to a hip injury that sidelined his career. He moved to America in June 2012 after winning the
green card lottery and, in June 2016, started the bakery with his wife, Karima. Lou was inspired to start baking by watching a chef work, and educated himself by watching
YouTube videos. He saved up money by catering for the French parents of children at the
International School of Los Angeles. ==Menu==
