With no background in the food industry, Natascha Hess started Ginger Pig as a food truck with the guidance of her mentor, Top Chef contestant Carrie Baird. In 2020, Hess opened a brick- and-mortar location, where she cooks food inspired by her time living in China and explores the cuisines of other Asian countries; a Boulder location is in the works for 2023. The dishes are best shared with a group so that you can taste a variety of delights.
