Red Robin - General Tiki

I would go to support the "idea" or the tiki theme. No more, no less. Remember, we are a bit more desperate out here in the midwest. And if a restaurant chain says "Hey, we did this 'Tiki summer' promotion and it went over really well..." well, then perhaps someone will say, "Hey, you know, since Kahiki has gone, I think the people around here need a new tiki establishment..." It's just a support chain. And a whole lot of dreaming. As for driving that length for the mug...no. Have I driven that far (and then some) for a Trader Vics amber stem glass or a Stephen Crane bug eyed mug? Hell yes! And I'd do it again. -C. :sheckymug:
