Our History

Louis Riso, founder of Lunch with Lou, owned his first food concession at the Pelham/Split Rock Golf Courses. After leading several other golf course concessions, Lou branched out into school lunches. He brought his lunch service to several schools in Westchester, NY. The name “Lunch with Lou” was officially coined by a parent at one of the schools who was a customer and enjoyed the program. As a parent himself, and after 25 years in the food service industry, Lou believes in providing nutritious, convenient lunch options that will help to nourish and support the growth of young bodies and minds.

How does it work?

First, you create an account on gotomylunch and choose your menu options for the month. Click here for more details on how to do this!
Once you order, a label is printed with your name and food choice on it:

Sample Label
Louis Riso – IHM
Chicken Nuggets, Fruit, Snack
Bottled Water
5th

That label is placed on a brown paper bag and filled the day before your lunch is served with the cold items on the label.
The next day, your hot food is prepared and placed in a climate-controlled container.
When your brown bag is delivered to your school, the hot food is placed in your bag right before you eat to ensure it stays hot.

What snack choices can we expect to see in the bags?

Snack choices vary as we find that students appreciate seeing something new. In the past, we have used pretzels, graham crackers, cinnamon cookies, fruit snacks, or animal cookies. When new choices come our way, we give them a trial run to see how students respond to them.
