FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Historic Victory for the Hispanic Restaurant Association as the Senate Passes the National Hispanic Restaurant Week Resolution Washington, D.C. and Denver, Colorado – Today marks an extraordinary achievement for the Hispanic culinary community as the U.S. Senate officially acknowledges the profound influence and contributions of Hispanic restaurateurs and chefs across the nation. Thanks to the relentless efforts of the Hispanic Restaurant Association, a bipartisan Senate resolution has been passed recognizing National Hispanic Restaurant Week. Championed by Senator Michael Bennet and Senator John Hickenlooper of Colorado, along with Senator Ted Cruz and Senator John Cornyn of Texas, this resolution unifies both sides of the aisle in celebrating the rich tapestry of flavors, traditions, and innovations the Latin community brings to the American food scene. "We are beyond thrilled. This resolution not only highlights the culinary excellence of Hispanic restaurants but also the dedication, passion, and hard work behind every dish," said John Jaramillo, President of the Hispanic Restaurant Association. "It's a testament to the indelible mark the Latin community has made on the food service industry in the U.S." National Hispanic Restaurant Week will serve as a platform for Americans everywhere to discover and appreciate the diverse range of Hispanic cuisines, from family-run taquerias to upscale Nuevo Latino establishments. This is more than just a celebration of food – it's a homage to the vibrant culture, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit of the Hispanic community, which has always been a fundamental thread in the fabric of American society. The Hispanic Restaurant Association extends its gratitude to Senators Bennet, Hickenlooper, Cruz, and Cornyn for their steadfast support and commitment to this cause. This is indeed one monumental step in a larger journey to spotlight and honor the vast contributions of the Latin community in the United States. We are also extremely grateful to our community sponsors: DOOR DASH, RÉMY MARTIN, WHERE FOOD COMES FROM and the COLORADO BEEF COUNCIL. Communities, restaurateurs, and food enthusiasts are invited to join in the festivities, explore new culinary horizons, and raise their glasses to the Hispanic influence that has, and continues to, tantalize American taste buds.
