The Ginger Pig

Former hockey player and lawyer Natascha Hess started the Ginger Pig as a food truck specializing in Asian fare that was inspired by the time she spent living in China when she was younger. In 2020, she debuted her first brick-and-mortar, adding a second takeout spot in Boulder in 2023. She’s recently traveled back to Asia several times, trips that reinvigorated her creativity and resulted in such dishes as Hong Kong-style French toast and Japanese mentaiko spaghetti.
