Meet the faces behind Alice and Lulu's

Laura Godin

wine guru AND CREPE MASTER

Laura is a French born food and wine enthusiast. Laura was raised in a small suburb outside of Paris by a French father and an Italian American mother.  As she grew, she was exposed to cooking and eating some of Europe’s finest delicacies. The strongest influence behind her love and understanding for sourcing, cooking, and eating great food was her grandmother Lucette (‘Lulu’ to family and friends). Cheese and wine were at the center of all conversations, and always had a place on the table. It was at Lucette’s home on the family farm in the French countryside that Laura’s curiosity and inspiration would flourish.  Constant travelling between France and New York (where her extended family resided) exposed Laura at a very young age to a world of languages & travel that married perfectly with what had become her true passions: food & culture.

Most recently, Laura ran the Bullwinkle's at Night dining room at Sugarloaf mountain.  Previous positions include the historic Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel in downtown Boston as their Guest Relations Manager and Petrossian Paris & Boutique in West Hollywood, CA as their Dining Room Manager. Laura, never content to stop learning, has completed her Sommelier Certification from the Court of Sommeliers and looks forward to beginning the next step of training.

Alexis Godin

culinary wizard, cheese and charcuterie ENTHUSIAST 

Alexis (A-lek-see) was raised in Massachusetts in a family that revolved around each other as well as food; The first rule of being a Godin has always been “Families who eat together, stay together.”  Mom put a home cooked meal on the table every night of the week for her family and made sure everyone was home to eat it.  The second rule is “Happy hour starts at 5 on Fridays.”  Both immediate and extended family joined the fun every week.  These two simple rules and rituals would shape Alexis' life from an early age.  Debating skills were honed next to her brother at the dinner table every weeknight and an appreciation for good food, drink, and conversation grew every weekend.  Either way and under either rule, food and family were the centerpieces of life growing up in the Godin household (and to this day).

Alexis’ love of food drove them to the food industry at a young age and it quickly became their life’s work.  From their first job in a pizza shop at 14 years old until now, Alexis has continued to work toward the dream of someday owning their own establishment.  While pursuing an Associate of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Magna Cum Laude, January ‘13), Alexis began working in kitchens and travelling. They have spent time in London, Boston and Los Angeles, worked for companies as large as Marriott, as small as Hungry Mother (Cambridge, MA) and a couple in between.  Alexis has served as Sous Chef to acclaimed Chef and Author Suzanne Goin at her restaurant Tavern LA (Brentwood, CA) and most recently was the Executive Chef at 45 North restaurant on Sugarloaf Mountain.
