I mean with a name like that, you figure they gotta have something polynesian, right? Nada! Just a typical Howard Johnsons looking place with no tropical decor to speak of... We asked the lady at the desk "Where's all the tiki? You are Kon Tiki, right?" "Well - that's just our name - but we don't have anything like that..." "No tikis at all?" "No - I think the restaurant next door used to have some. It used to be called Trader Nicks." "Really? (Me getting excited)" "Yeah - but now it's called STEAMERS." We just got back on the freeway to smogville... So - BigBro - do you know the history of it & if it was ever themed???
