The group of chefs came together in Hawaii in August 1991 to form an organization to create a American regional cuisine highlighting Hawaii's locally grown ingredients and the ethnic styles brought by its immigrant groups.[5] The twelve chefs including Sam Choy, George Mavrothalassitis, Alan Wong, Peter Merriman, Philippe Padovani, and Roy Yamaguchi, formed a non profit as Hawaii regional cuisine in 1992 and worked to publish the 1994 cookbook by Janice Wald Henderson, The New Cuisine of Hawaii. These chefs also sponsored a cookbook to be sold for charity.[6]

The goal the group was to link local ranchers, fishermen and farmers with chefs and business in the hospitality and restaurant industry to develop Hawaii Regional Cuisine as a reflection of the community. They took uninspired international and continental hotel cuisine based on imported products and recipes from the mainland and replaced them with dishes and a cuisine based on locally grown foods.[7]
