These are awesome photos of all things Kahiki! I only joined TC a few days ago, but I live in Columbus, and had only been to the Kahiki a handful of times, much to my chagrin. My father used to own The Volcano restaurant (Winter Haven, FL) when I was a kid back in the late 60's and early 70's. (There is a resurrected thread going on about it now.) When I finally discovered the Kahiki (only a year or two before they closed), we took Mom and Dad there for dinner on one of their visits. Dad asked to speak to the manager, and so we got to take a behind the scenes tour into the office and past the kitchen. I was amazed, because Dad always had photos of the celebs who visited The Volcano all over his office. I love seeing things from the inside of the Kahiki. The chairs and masks and ALL of it is so memorable! So much about the Kahiki reminds me of Dad's old restaurant, so thanks for sharing all your info with us!
