History
The Ginger Pig Food Truck and our Asian street style food has all been inspired by my time living and studying in Beijing, China during my college years. While my host family cooked dinner, I would write down the ingredients and methodology, so I could re-create these wonderful recipes for my family and friends back home. In China, I lived with the Zhang family, near the Beijing zoo. Zhang Baba, Nalu, their daughter, Zhang Na and I would cram into a tiny kitchen and cook together as a team. My Chinese mother, Nalu, was a teacher who was determined to turn me into a cook. She lit a fire under my wok and showed me how much flavor food could have when you use simple, fresh ingredients. We are proud to be named Best of Denver 2018 by Westword and thank everyone that's made this such an amazing experience.
Specialties
It is in Beijing where I fell in love with ginger. My products contain ginger not only for the taste, but for the many health benefits of this magical root. I joined a local CSA farm share at Isabelle Farm and am enchanted by the farm-to-table idea. We are so proud that Isabelle Farm will be one of our main providers of farm-to-table organic vegetables, it's very important to us to support and use local farms and purveyors.
