I know. I just don't know what it is with TV's, years ago I told them that they should market themselves more towards a wider, middle class audience, but they still are trying to hang on to the original Trader's "Officer's Club" hoity toity clientele, which has long died out since Vic's day. I don't understand the restaurant business, and it is T.V.'s tradition to target the affluent, but where are they?
I get the feeling they don't see that the once "upper" middle class is less and less able to keep up with the spending, and the middle class is going broke, so they are pricing themselves out of the market. I would like to support them with my patronage, but it's just impossible for me to do on a regular basis. I think I only ate once at the B.H. T.V.'s, the cocktails are expensive enough.

I only know of the Don B. in Indiana from a menu list of their various franchises, and the only other info on it is that it was at the Sheraton Hotel. That does not necessarily mean that it was IN the hotel (though likely) sometimes Polynesian restaurants were build adjacent to, and still managed by a hotel.

The Colorado ones were at the Plaza Cosmopolitan Hotel in Denver, and the Ramada Renaissence Hotel in Aurora.
