Well, funny thing is, back in the day, I remember going there, as a kid, my uncle Arturo was the main bartender at the Pico location and my Uncle Leo was the lead cook at the Fairfax location, sorry to say, both have passed on, however my family does enjoy the rib marinate, and you are correct Molasses-Brown Sugar are some of the main staples in the recipe.

As for the drink menu on the tables, my Uncle Arturo is the one who photographed those for the restuarant.

Good memories, sorry to see that the place is no longer there.

Kelbo's was always a family-owned and operated business. I really, really miss those Hawaiian-Style Barbecue Spareribs. They were probably baby-back pork ribs marinated in some kind of molasses-brown sugar-pineapple juice recipe. I've not been able to locate any other restaurant - tiki or otherwise - that comes close to them.

I would love to get a menu, a Flaming Zombo bowl or mug, or anything from Kelbo's that would remind me of that once great restaurant.

Man, that sounds REALLY good. I wish that kind of "Polynesian" food was still around. The ribs at Bahooka are ok, but these sound really amazing.

Bamboo Ben...try to finagle the recipe from that Susan person :wink: BTW....I still have the bamboo framed hawaiian-shirt-glued-onto-a board-and-shellacked wall art picture I bought from you a few years ago...

Great stuff !
