I am saddened by the loss of Mr. Tsao. My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Kahiki, and Mr. Tsao personally made sure my guests were well taken care of. After the Kahiki closed down and was replaced by that monstrosity of a Walgreens, he would occasionally come into my print shop where immediately I would begin to beg him into opening up another Kahiki. "Well," he said, "if you have about four million dollars, I'll think about it. It's a seven-day-a-week-job, you know." I will miss his easy manner and most of all, his fabulous Kahiki. And until this day, I fervently hoped there would be another.But there won't be. Somehow, that's fitting. Long Live Mr. Tsao. Long Live The Kahiki!
