Well, this could be a wild goose chase, then again, it could be a wonderful, as of yet unexplored(?), Tiki haven-

I recently found a menu for "Fantasy Island" restaurant in Salem, Mass. I don't know the date of the menu- althought the prices looked realatively contemporary, but it has a nice full color page of "Polynesian Drinks" (with both the Fogcutter and a Suffering Bastard portrayed as arriving in tiki mugs), and a full cocktail menu, along with plenty of Polynesian and Chinese cuisine. The Polynesian food menu includes names such as;

Fantasy Island Treasure
Flaming Ambrosia
Hawaiian Wedding
Chicken Royal Hawaiian
Black Lagoon
Fantasy Island Volcano
Beef Hawaiian

So naturally, I typed the name into a search engine to see if it still existed or not. Which brought me to their home page- http://www.fisland.net/index.html. Hooray!

Some of the dishes still appear to be on their menu and there are even a few photos up on their site- http://www.fisland.net/photo.html. I can't quite tell if there are actual Tikis or not, though.

Perhaps if you're headed that way, you can send us a report.

Happy Hunting!
