The mainland phased them out when Tiki culture waned: Why deal with the gas costs and fire code when there are no customers anyway?...which makes them so rare and notable here nowadays. Actually, come to think of it, the islands always used lots of Tiki torches, and very few Tikis, while the mainland had lots of Tikis, and quite a few torches, too. For the Hawaiian establishments, torches are as atmospheric as Tikis but not as difficult p.c.-wise. :)
