                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Scott and 
Ellen Choi of Colleyville, Texas.
  In 2018, the husband-and-wife duo opened up Honey Teriyaki, a 
restaurant serving Japanese cuisine inspired by Scott's mother's old 
recipes.
  However, aside from serving delicious meals, Scott and Ellen have 
gone above and beyond to carry out their philosophy on life: give back 
to the community they love so much.
  On many occasions, they have provided food for the brave servicemen 
and women at the Colleyville Police Department. During the 2021 winter 
storms in North Texas, they provided free food to those without 
electricity. When tornadoes struck Kentucky in December of 2021, they 
even rented a U-Haul and drove 700 miles to provide their incredible 
food to the victims.
  Scott and Ellen's compassion and generosity should serve as an 
inspiration to all of us in North Texas. They love their community and 
do not hesitate to selflessly display that. I thank them both, and hope 
to visit their incredible restaurant one day soon.
