Former hockey player and lawyer Natascha Hess spent time living in China when she was younger and fell in love with the food. She started the Ginger Pig as a food truck specializing in Asian fare, and in 2020, she debuted her first brick-and-mortar, adding a second takeout spot in Boulder in 2023. Now with a solid team in place, she’s been able to continue to travel back to Asia in order to continue learning — and adding new items to this spot’s lineup of street-food-inspired hits.
