It's from the Huki-Lau Restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana. I found some info on the place here: bestofneworleans.com "The Huki-Lau Restaurant/Bar, later known as the Huki-Lau Supper Club, was a Polynesian-theme restaurant located at 3701 Hessmer St. in the area we used to call Fat City. The decor was Hawaiian, but the food was Chinese, and it was in business for about six years during the 1970s." I didn't find anything in Critiki on this place, but it can't be a "new" find. (Is it?) OOOPS! Misspelled the name of the city, which is why it didn't turn up in any searches. Oh well, still a cool mug. Classic Silver Line Boats [ Edited by: SilverLine on 2005-03-10 07:11 ]
