"Refuse!, of course, and so would you and I. But we are crazy idealists, of which the world is not made of, sadly"
I hate to say I think I too would have taken the money.
But since they got to keep the tiki stuff, I would have made a much smaller tiki bar after.
This is kind of a hot issue with me, as when I sold my restaurant, the one my parents started long ago.
The guy who bought it acts like me and my family had notthing to do with the place.
When I took over I started making it look like a real 40s/50s diner.

It was my bigest "art" project ever.
Now articles come out and say it looks just like it did when it opened.
Well it was ugly when it opened, It was not till I poured my heart, soul and money into it that it looked cool.
When you create somthing you think wow I did that, Ya can't take that away.
I know he bought it, it's his, and I don't expect him to toot my horn now.
But to lie and take credit for your creation, That's low.
Plus they buy the cheapest well everything, The waitress that used to work for me told
me she does not eat the hamburgers there anymore.
That was our bigest seller!
If someone put their name on your book of tiki you would not be pissed?
Lastly I would say that Mitch Boyce kept the Kahiki gonig for some of those bad years.
Two folks who worked at the Kahiki at that time stated that a person ran the Kahiki into the ground
so that Mitch would want out as fast as he could get out.
That is second hand, so who knows if it's fact I must add.
Bill Sapp and Lee Henry Created the Kahiki and that is fact.
Mr Tsao liked Day glo paint and made egg rolls.
