If you’d have told Jess and Pete Ignatiev of Heirloom MKE two years ago that owning a food truck would be just as gratifying as opening their own restaurant, there’s a better-than-average chance they wouldn’t have believed you.
But much has changed. With the launch of a successful mobile food operation under their belts and the freedom to pave their own way forward, the couple has created not only a popular destination for ordering restaurant-worthy fare – from housemade burrata to steamed mussels and inventive short ribs – but also a reputation for supporting local businesses, building community and backing countless social causes. On this week’s podcast, we’re sitting down with the Ignatievs to chat about their operational philosophy and the fuel that keeps their motors running.
