“I was surprised, thrilled, and honored to receive the John Lu International Business of the Year Award. Whether I was working in my family’s restaurant, launching the H Restaurant Group with my brother Matthew, and seeing it grow to six successful restaurants across Georgia, or giving back to the community and state that have been so good to me, I’ve been blessed to live and realize the American Dream. I thank USPAACC Southeast Region President Sheetal Desai, and CEO Lissa Miller for the recognition of this award, and USPAACC National President and CEO Susan Au Allen for her national leadership and support,” said Joseph Hsiao, President, and CEO of the H Restaurant Group, and 2023 recipient of the John Lu International Business of the Year Award.
