The Ginger Pig

"The Ginger Pig, originally a food truck specializing in Asian street food, opened the doors to its full dine-in restaurant in 2020. The restaurant serves up pan-Asian cuisine inspired by chef and co-owner Natascha Hess’s time living in Beijing and backpacking across Asia in college. Diners can expect to see dishes like tangy Thai stir-fry cabbage, Korean corndogs, and crispy chicken kara-age." - Annie Harrigan, Eater Staff

"A loving homage to the family that hosted her as an exchange student in China, this spin-off of chef-owner Natascha Hess’s popular pan-Asian food truck (which now has a sibling in Boulder) also reflects her extensive travels across the continent and penchant for mash-ups. At any given time, the menu might boast Korean-, Japanese-, or Chinese-style fried chicken; a Thai take on crispy tofu in peanut sauce or a Vietnamese spin on watermelon salad; and Instagrammable dishes like Korean-inspired hot dogs battered in cornflakes or Hong Kong–style French toast with coconut jam. To complement it all are cocktails flavored with Thai chiles, yuzu, matcha powder, and lemongrass; a tidy selection of beers, wine, and sake rounds out the bar menu." - Eater Staff

"Inside the Denver concert venue, chefs were the main act with some of their cuisine as the amuse-bouche—think Petrossian caviar, local delicacies from newly crowned Boulder Green Star Blackbelly Market and Denver Bib Gourmand The Ginger Pig." - MICHELIN Guide
