The choice of the Kalua Room tiki is pretty amazing especially when compared to the tiki on the wall behind the guy in today's Sunday paper insert. I love to think some designer wanted the Kalua tiki on some towels and sold Cost Plus on the design. The main thing I've always liked about the Kalua Room tiki is that he's holding a drink and his eyes make him look like it's not his first of the evening. In his 1957 book Be My Guest in the Pacific Northwest Bill Speidel wrote of this very tiki: "In case you've never seen a Tiki, take a look at your Kalua dinner menu- although I doubt if the South Sea Islanders did their carvings of Gods with "glass in hand"..."
