It's me. I'm the foreigner. It's me.*
Foreigner Rice takes its name from the Korean words 외국 (waygook, foreign country) and 밥 (bap, rice/meal). It's a playful nod to Liz's decade of living and traveling around the world, including five years in South Korea, and to the experience of returning to the United States only to feel like a foreigner in her own country. More than a decade later, the feeling hasn't gone away.
It's also the name of her future food truck. One day.
Technically, I'm a waygookin (외국인). But I heard waygook more often.
