The Palo Alto TV's is owned by a friend of the Bergeron family. Apparantly, the owner was a collector of oceanic art and relentlessly pressed the TV chain to allow him to open a restaurant so he could display his collection. After years of pressure, the TV chain finally gave in and ok'd the opening of the Palo Alto restaurant. Although a Trader Vic's, from what I understand, Palo Alto is sort of the 'bastard child' hence, its variation from the rest of the restaurants in the TV chain. *** * * The Polynesian Popster * * *** [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2003-02-19 19:48 ]
