THE STORY BEHIND THE FOOD
MEET JULIE
What started with a love for creating good food has grown into a brand built around scratch-made recipes, bold flavors and bringing people together.
This is Gourmet Julie’s Way.
IT ALL STARTED WITH A LOVE OF FOOD.
Gourmet Julie’s Way officially hit the road on June 1, 2020, but the heart behind it started long before the food trailer ever opened its window.For Julie, food has always been about more than simply making something to eat. It’s about taking familiar favorites, making them from scratch, adding an unexpected twist, and creating something people genuinely look forward to sharing.What began as a food trailer has grown one meal, one event and one customer at a time. Today, Gourmet Julie’s Way serves Central Pennsylvania through our food trailer, private events, weddings and catering, signature 5 Layered Pies, bottled products and local partnerships.Through all of that growth, the idea behind GJW has stayed surprisingly simple: make really good food, do it our own way, and give people a reason to come back.

MORE THAN A NAME
WHAT EXACTLY IS “JULIE’S WAY”?
Julie’s Way means never settling for ordinary. It’s taking a burger and asking how we can make it better. Making the sauce instead of reaching for a bottle. Turning pie into five completely different layers. Creating a catering menu around the people we're feeding instead of asking them to fit into ours. It means scratch-made food, generous portions, bold flavors, a little creativity and a whole lot of heart. Around here, if there's a way to make something more delicious, that's probably the way we're going to do it.
That's
Julie's Way

BRING GJW HOME
Gourmet Julie's Way officially hits the road, serving creative comfort food from our food trailer.
Private parties, corporate events and weddings become an increasingly important part of the GJW story.
Our signature dessert becomes a GJW favorite, with new flavor combinations introduced every month.
Homemade Ranch, Anything Sauce and bottled beverages bring Gourmet Julie's Way beyond our events and into customers' homes.
GOOD FOOD. DONE DIFFERENTLY.
SCRATCH-MADE
We believe you can taste the difference when someone actually takes the time to make it.
CREATIVE
Familiar doesn't have to mean boring. We take the foods people already love and find a way to make them distinctly GJW.
At the end of the day, food is about people — the ones making it, the ones eating it and the memories created around the table.
IT TAKES A TEAM
Gourmet Julie's Way may have Julie's name on the logo, but none of what we do happens alone. Behind every event, wedding, pie, bottle and busy food trailer window is a team of people working hard to make the GJW experience what it is.From early-morning prep to late-night cleanup, we're incredibly proud of the people behind the food.
MADE FOR PEOPLE
THANKS TO YOU
A LITTLE RECOGNITION. A LOT OF GRATITUDE.
Awards are pretty exciting, but what means the most to us is knowing that people continue to choose Gourmet Julie's Way for their lunches, celebrations, weddings and everyday cravings. Every vote, review, referral and return visit has helped turn a little food trailer into something much bigger than we imagined.
SIX YEARS LATER, WE STILL BELIEVE...
HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE.
Whether we're serving you through the food trailer window, catering one of life's biggest celebrations, creating your next favorite pie flavor or showing up in your refrigerator, we're grateful to have you along for the ride.
