Tiki Restaurants - The Not-So-Big Ten - Collecting Tiki

As some of you may recall, Bora Boris required a signature mug (no commons allowed), a near impossible to find swizzle stick, and a rare plate or bowl to become part of this elite club. Being just an everyday tiki paper collector, I could not make it into this aristocratic group. So I decided to start a new club called "The Not-So-Big-Ten" Tiki Restaurants. The club rules are simple; all you need for entry is a menu, a matchbook and a postcard for admittance. Oh, and by the way, none of the "Big Nine" are allowed (see list on BB's thread)! I am going to start with 6 top contenders. The Tahitian Restaurant in Studio City and Pasadena Bali Hai in San Diego The Luau Restaurant in Miami Beach The Islander in Los Angeles The Outrigger in Monterey Trader Dicks, Sparks Nevada Will post some more not-so-big top tens later.
