Sisters Margaret and Irene Li own and operate the Boston-based food truck and restaurant enterprise collectively known as the Mei Mei Group. Founded with their older brother Andrew, their award-winning truck Mei Mei Street Kitchen merges modern techniques and genre-bending creativity with sustainable practices and tech-savvy communications. Margaret brings entrepreneurial experience in bootstrap fashion startups, real-world adventure games, secret supper clubs and an MBA to manage the business side of the Mei Mei Group. Irene's background of living on an organic farm, working the restaurant line, and organizing for social justice inform her leadership of the food and sourcing program. They work alongside a diverse team of former lawyers, neuroscientists, zoologists, English majors and fellow food obsessives to bring fun, innovative and ethical cuisine to the streets of Boston.
