bashing all the local "wannabee" tiki bars that did not meet up to her enamored knowledge of the tiki culture. while you slammed a "local" new tiki bar because they only served pedestrian beer and wine, you forgot to thank them for offering all freshly prepared food 7 days a week. you also forgot to mention that they are a family designed, built, and ran business that believes in supporting its local community rather than bashit because it didnt meet the "drink standards'" of an obviously ignorant person. to some, great fresh food is more important than getting a cocktail...but because you have to justify your job, you decide to bash people that are trying to bring up the economy rather than destroy it. perhaps you should consider moving to a Polynesian island where you can certainly attain "your" perfect drink and pass your job to a more sophisticated person that brings positive energy to the community rather than what you have to offer.

Ouch - butt hurt a bit? Perhaps this person needs to join TC to understand why his "tiki" joint was being singled out. Sounds more like a "Buffett" joint - which I'm sure is just fine but, lik BBT said, please don't call it Tiki. Too bad.
