from The Layered Onion--Peeling Back the Layers · host The Layered Onion

Fran Hong, co-owner of Morris Ramen, state legislator, community activist, and parent, understands that food is inherently political. Our discussion begins with her path to chef and restaurant owner through mental health challenges. A path that ultimately as the pandemic raged led to election as a state representative for her district. Fran reflected on the courage of her Korean immigrant mother to go back to school to be a teacher. But courage is the word that consistently surfaced when talking with Fran about her journey.
