Episode Details

Hawai‘i Convention Center is ditching its longtime food vendor Levy Restaurants and going in-house with Legends Global — a global powerhouse that just acquired ASM Global to beef up its catering chops. Effective June 30, this move aims to simplify event planning by centralizing food and beverage under one roof, while major renovations (finishing in 2028) have already limited operations. The center is aggressively hiring local talent to infuse Hawaiian flavors into menus, positioning itself as the top convention center for food. They’re also eyeing state funding to upgrade concession stands and grab-and-go spots — because attendees crave quick, affordable meals. This isn’t just a contract change — it’s a full culinary transformation.
