L&L Hawaiian Barbecue says it is offering free meals to federal workers and their families affected by the government shutdown at its eatery near Honolulu airport this Sunday.

The free meal will be available from 10 a.m. to noon at Airport Trade Center, 550 Paiea St., and will be offered to the first 1,000 eligible federal workers who claim it or are in line by noon on a first come, first serve basis.

“Whether it be a natural disaster or something else, if we’re able to, then we’ll help, even if it’s a little bit, we’ll help as much as we can,” said L&L president and chief operating officer Bryan Andaya. “We’re hoping by promoting that spirit and culture, that we’ll help spread the aloha spirit, which is what we’re about as a company.”

Restaurant officials are extending the offer to the immediate family of those affected, with restrictions, but ask workers to bring official federal identification verifying employment.

“We want to show our appreciation for all the dedicated federal workers who have been adversely affected by the current circumstances of our government situation,” said Elisia Flores, chief financial officer of L&L, in a news release.

L&L, owned by Johnson Kam and Eddie Flores Jr., has nearly 200 locations. It is offering three plate lunches as part of the offer: kalua pork with cabbage, chicken katsu, and hamburger steak.
