Don the Beachcomber? What the &#%@!&&!&^@%!!? YEAH YEAH YEAH!

Thanks Chuck for the wonderful news, man!

My last post here a few days ago was created on a hunch (on instinct?)
and a prayer..with all the talk of a "classic" to be reincarnated and with the new Trader Vics in LA poised for opening soon - what was left? Kono Hawaii? Seven Seas? The Tikis? The Islander?!!?

Orange County is extremely fortunate to be the future home of THE mainland Don the Beachcomber (I'm wiping the drool off my shirt collar as I type this)

What a venue for Martin from F.Island! Martin as general bar manager overseeing a classic well trained Philipino bar staff?
CAN YOU IMAGINE?

So. Cal tikiphiles will someday soon boast about their "emerald triangle" of sorts..for world-class tiki establishments..I feel an idea for a painting coming on :)

Flip side: I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this operation does not become a focus of neighborhood constraints and embarrassment. South Orange County / Huntington Beach locals will understand what I mean, specifically where public drinking is concerned. I'll stop here and leave that discussion for another thread.
