The baby sister of the Mei Mei food truck family, Irene Li got her start in the culinary world as a Line Cook at La Morra, an Organic Farm Resident of The Mountain School and a volunteer at The Food Project, a Massachusetts non-profit dedicated to employing for youth on local farms in efforts to build a more sustainable food system.

Now working with her older siblings at Mei Mei, the Li family is bringing Chinese cuisine, with modern American twists to the hungry streets of Boston.
