Jackie Kotarba, the owner of Hello Boba, has a rich background in the culinary world that began in her family's kitchen. There, she was immersed in the aromas and flavors of her heritage, learning the basics of cooking and the joy of sharing food with loved ones. This early exposure ignited her passion for the culinary arts, leading her to pursue professional experiences where she honed her skills under seasoned chefs. Beyond formal training, Jackie expanded her culinary knowledge through self-directed learning, exploring diverse cuisines and techniques from around the world. This blend of personal and professional growth culminated in the creation of Hello Boba, Chicago's first bubble tea truck. Through this venture, Jackie aims to share the happiness and community she found in her kitchen with the broader Chicago area, offering a unique and delightful beverage experience.
