Authentic heirloom cuisine. Our Story: Luquire Family Foods for almost six decades, the Luquire family has been serving up some of the downright tastiest Lowcountry Cuisine originally crafted by family matriarch, Josephine Jo Luquire. To this day, we continue Jo's handcrafted traditions and follow her guidance of using only the finest ingredients, always paired with her signature spices and natural flavorings. Our family foods are classic examples of authentic, heirloom comfort cuisine that's been dished up in the Lowcountry for generations that to this day remain heavily influenced by a wonderful blend of French, African and West Indies ancestral cooking techniques.
