Only in SF - people sign up for a 2 year long waitlist to pay $49 for the Laowai noodle kits.
The Laowai founder’s story is peak Bay Area asian:
- Studied at Brown University
- Worked at an investment bank
- Went to China to study hand pulled noodle making
- Was called “laowai” or “foreigner” during his time abroad
- Trained as a Michelin chef in SF (State Bird Provisions, The Progress, Mister Jui’s)
- Transformed the “laowai” insult into his popular noodle brand

16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams recounts his heroic rescue in Santa Cruz California, praises his fellow lifeguard for helping with the rescue.
“I wish more people knew about ocean conditions and rip currents.”
“I'd like people to remember that we make thousands of rescues along the California coast and around the world every day, and that this is not an uncommon occurrence. This is our job, this is what we're here to do, and this is the reason we are here.”
Hero.
