On the tiled kitchen counter is a small fishbowl filled with matchbooks that I missed on the first go-around. Sitting on the shag carpet and dumping them into my lap, I search through the small cardboard souvenirs until I find the one that was meant for me: The Islander Beef and Grog in Cocoa Beach. The very name fills me with ineffable sadness and longing. A place where in decades past, one could have a well-crafted rum drink and broil one's own steak, surrounded by tikis and Polynesian splendour. Where in this modern city of Los Angeles could I have a similar experience today? What good is being inspired by the past if my quest is fruitless? What Would Jab Do? Are there any Beef and Grog houses left in this world for a nostalgic Coconut Boy?
