It appears that it will a mash-up of both Mexican and Polynesian design. The new place will called the Big Kahuna Cantina, and will be located in Baltimore's Harborplace Light Street Pavilion - in the heart of touristy Baltimore. The website features for now only a cool logo - a tiki head/floral/surfboard theme. http://www.bigkahunacantina.com/ So far, so good, but it might be wise to be cautious, as it looks as they might be focusing on tequila based drinks. From the press release ... "Described as a mixture of mythology and surf culture, Big Kahuna Cantina morphs the cultural phenomenon of Mexonesia -- a combination of Mexican and Polynesian backgrounds. "From ten foot tiki's ruling the roost with their ominous gaze, to a seven foot shark staking his claim over the bar, to classic long boards retired from their last wave, Big Kahuna Cantina is a completely new concept for Baltimore, if not the East Coast. We are a mixture of surf and spice," explains Kevin Callaway, Chief Operating Officer for Capital Restaurant Concepts. The restaurant will host a dramatic tequila and nacho bar with house made salsas, table side guacamole and pollo, pork, beef and seafood tacos and Surfajitas. Patrons are encouraged to "relax the Mexonesian way" continues Callaway, the brainpower behind the novel restaurant. "We wanted to create something completely new that encourages locals and tourists alike to come down and surf the Inner Harbor. We are a fun, family and couples destination to eat, drink and recline." The full press release can be found here. http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2007/3/emw510087.htm Vern
