Inside, 15 people were milling about quietly, stepping carefully over coils of wires littering the carpeted aisles and stairs. These were connected to electronic boards and several large video cameras that loomed amid rows of seats, all angled toward the stage where spotlights illuminated a gleaming stainless steel kitchen, one counter filled with a colorful display of pristine island produce. Bright banners for Hawai‘i Gas, Y. Hata and Co., and Ham Produce and Seafood adorned the space.</p>
