Baton Rouge celebrity chef Jay Ducote has left Guaranty Media after more than three years, according to Guaranty President and CEO Flynn Foster. 

Ducote, who founded Gov’t Taco in White Star Market in 2018, sold his three limited liability companies, which included the restaurant, his spices and sauces brand and the Bite and Booze brand, to Guaranty Media in September 2019. Ducote and his staff became employees of Guaranty under a new division of the company called Jay Ducote Hospitality Group, with Ducote hosting a prime time radio show. 

After the sale to Guaranty, Gov’t Taco opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Government Street in 2020. 

Ducote declined to comment on the move, which took effect Jan. 1. Foster says Ducote plans to grow his personal brand and focus more of his time on his interests in combining food, drink and travel.  

“Jay will always be Gov’t Taco’s ‘Founding Father,’” Foster said in a text message.

Govt Taco took a major nosedive over the last year. Prices are too high for the quantity and quality, they will not survive.

I wish Jay well though.

Yes.

Some of y'all die on weird hills defending Z list celebrities who had 15 minutes of fame but couldn't cook for shite.

Guy knows how to market so I won't take that away from him. I'm sure he will land on his feet.

Every time I tried to speak with him, he blew me off like I was beneath him or just ignored me. Happened a bunch at the farmers market and tailgates.

Its nothing crazy. I get it he’s a busy dude and I’m not anyone he would “need” to be seen talking to, but my experience with the guy has been drastically different than what some of y’all are reporting.

I've never met Jay(or is apparently a-hole brother), but John Folse has been nothing but nice to me.

Jay's brother is a nice dude. Too bad for Jay's bro that his hot arse wife fell in love with me after our chance meeting at a Costco kiosk where we both were taste testing that delish chicken on a stick.
