Bill > SCR2

This concurrent resolution requests the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) to sponsor a Michelin Guide for restaurants throughout the State of Hawaii. The resolution highlights that the Michelin Guide, known for its star-based evaluations, is a global standard for culinary excellence and that while Michelin has released guides for other U.S. locations, Hawaii has not yet been included. It acknowledges Hawaii's growing culinary scene and the potential benefits of Michelin recognition, such as attracting diners, chefs, and publicity, and improving restaurant standards, especially given current workforce challenges in the culinary sector.
