The back of another cocktail menu not shown states that the tropical trees, plants and flowers were grown on their plantation in Kona, and that their mugs and glasses could be purchased in the gift shop.

Edited for being a dumb ass. "Hey Kono, ever heard of Kona coffee?" "Sure, I've got some in my freezer right now. Grown on the Kona coast of the Big Island." Doh! Anyway...

Some of the Skipper Kent's mugs have on the bottom "Exclusively for Skipper Kent's San Francisco, Calif.-Kona, Hawaii." On my Princess Keolo-na-hihi mug it actually says "Kono" Hawaii which piqued my interest, but obviously that's an error. I was wondering if Skipper Kent had a restaurant in Hawaii as well as in SF. He apparently had a plantation but I wonder why that would be on the bottom of his mugs if he didn't also have a restaurant or bar there as well. Google got me nowhere. Anyone?
