Ignatius Reilly’s Gourmet Street Food is a Gourmet Food Trailer in South Louisiana based out of Bâton Rouge, Louisiane serving house-made fresh pastas, soup, salad, and seasonal specials! At Ignatius Reilly’s we strive for the enrichment of our Louisiana economy through supporting local farmers, foragers, fishmongers, and merchants. We are dedicated to using ingredients from sustainable/organic farms and chemical free products whenever possible. Ignatius Reilly’s team considers itself ongoing students of its culinary craft, always learning and evolving to bring our customers something new. The same goes of any craft; the process dictates the end result. This being the case, all of our product is seasonal, sourced locally and made fresh from scratch. Historically the food service industry produces some of the highest amount of waste (of any industry) in the process of bringing their product to consumers. As stewards of the environment in which we operate, our team feels the best way to exercise responsibility is to use all compostable and recyclable paper products in the service of our customers. All organic scraps from the preparation process are used in compost for the enrichment of soil in Chef Day’s garden (“Moi Petit Jardin”). Ignatius Reilly’s is always searching for new technics to give back to the community, any suggestions are always welcome!
