Hess studied Chinese at the University of Wisconsin; during summer breaks, she lived in Beijing, China and traveled across Asia. She completed her law degree from the University of Denver, after which she practiced divorce, criminal, and bankruptcy law. Finally pursuing her culinary career, Hess interned for Carrie Baird at Brazen. Natascha started Ginger Pig food truck in Boulder before expanding into a food hall, and eventually its own brick and mortar. The Ginger Pig was named Denver’s Best Food Trucks | Westword

In 2015 Natascha and her husband Steve started developing recipes and building the dream of creating a unique food truck concept. The next year The Ginger Pig truck hit the streets.

Evidently, her favorite sandwich is the Caribbean Roast from Delicious | Paseo in Seattle.
