Happy Chinese New Year - The Year of the Pig

Xīn nián kuài lè! That’s how you say Happy New Year in Chinese and we couldn’t be more excited to ring in 2019 as the YEAR OF THE PIG!!!! Chinese New Year officially begins February 5th and ends on the 19th with the Lantern Festival. In Chinese culture, pigs are the yin of yin and yang and the symbol of wealth and good fortune. We can’t wait for the wealth part but we’ve already been blessed with the good fortune of having the support of all you wonderful foodies in the Denver and Boulder area.

Justin's Nut Butter + The Ginger Pig

Justin from Justin's Nut Butter!!

Justin's Nut Butter launched their new Classic Cashew Butter this summer and we were lucky enough to have Justin stop by the truck for dinner and to collaborate with them during the launch. This felt extra special because we have been using Justin's Nut Butters as fuel for those long hot summer days on the truck. We love the brand because their core values align with our own, like striving to bring you locally sourced and sustainable ingredients from some of the best producers in Colorado. Justin challenged us to see what we could come up with using the cashew butter in one of our dishes.

Challenge accepted!

Step right up, step right up, but no pushing!

Winner, winner chicken dinner! We are so incredibly humbled and honored to be named the winner of Westword Magazine's 2018 Best of Denver award for Best Food Truck/Cart. We spent over a year bringing this brand to life and making sure our recipes would keep people coming back for more before we even hit the road.

We couldn't have done it without you all and we know it. We'd like to thank Westword's readers, contributors, and editorial staff for finding the truck, trying our food, and recognizing us with this award. This is something that we will cherish forever.

Mountain Day!

This weekend we're pulling the truck up to Chautauqua Picnic Pavilion to provide some Asain style street food to this years Northfield Mount Hermon Mountain Day. NMH is located in Mount Hermon, MA and the school is Natascha's and our graphic designer, Clytie Sadler's, high school alma mater. It's where they first met and now The Ginger Pig has brought them back together again to work.  So, what's Mountain Day, you ask? Mountain Day is an annual surprise fall holiday to get the students and faculty out in the woods together to take a hike. The faculty announces that class will be canceled the following day and everyone is buoyed with the anticipation of the Mountain Day cake for dinner, no classes, hiking, and a chili cookout on a mountain at the peak of foliage season. The annual experience culminates for Seniors as they set out to climb the 3,165ft Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire. This tradition dates back to 1881, and it continues to bring alumni together at different locations across the country. We're stoked to be offering our curbside catering to Colorado's NMH alumni this year and everyone's welcome, come find us! You can find more information below the video.
