Small but done with love. It is in an old strip mall right where the 5 and 118 fwys meet, Sepulveda exit,on the other side than that ole BBQ place (the Bear Pit?), on Chatsworth. I talked to Bobby and agreed with him that the name has to have Tiki in it, and though he really liked Vali Hai, and The Leiaway, it is most likely to be... Lucky Tiki ! Might not be the most original, but it is commercial, and we all want these places to make their rent, which means it must appeal to people other than just us, too. That name is catchy, and it has appeal to the Rockabilly crossover crowd, PLUS it makes for a nice logo with a story. I proposed Kevin Kidney to make a rendering of the logo Tiki. I think it all should start with a strong image. I believe a good concept character that follows through all the way from front door Tiki to the menu to the swizzle stick is the way to go.
