Our
Story
Get to Know Us
We are Mike and James, two Asian American native New Yorkers and amateur foodies who aim to create something delicious. Growing up in this vibrant city, we want to share a taste of our childhood from our perspective, crafting food that reflects our experiences and stories.
Growing up in NY, getting a beef patty after school was the norm. That food in particular nourished and cared for us, but we always thought it didn't quite speak to us directly. We wanted to see if there was a way to combine beef patties with the food we grew up eating at home which were representative of our cultures.
What is a Tiger Patty?
A Tiger Patty is an Asian-inspired twist on the classic empanada or Jamacian beef patty. Drawing from our cultural backgrounds, we wanted to combine the convenience and familiarity of street food like the beef patty or the empanada—an iconic part of our upbringing—with the flavors we love: Korean BBQ and Chinese-inspired fillings. our childhood dishes that raised us wrapped in the comforting warmth and flakiness of a perfectly baked crust. Our goal is to build bridges with food, showing people that we have more in common than not, with accessible, convenient meals that’s easy to enjoy on the go and share.
So wtf is a Tiger Patty?
