All this started several years ago with a vacation stay at the Beverly Hilton and my first Mai Tai. Wow. Started searching the Internet for a recipe upon getting home (ironically, we had driven right by the Tiki-Ti on the way to a Dodgers game!). This led me to the Beachbum Berry books and then finally to Tiki Central. Growing up in the sixties-seventies, the whole post-war era fascinates me, so much of my TC time has been spent "Locating Tiki". In that vein, I was fortunate to visit the Dallas TV's (the week before they closed!!!) and took the family to the Mai-Kai this past spring break (no Mystery Bowl in front of the kids). My tiki name is from our recently installed pool-side palapa/bar ("CoCo-Pelli Cove"). The name is a nod to the Southwest, whose food my wife and I love to cook, and the tropical(ish) climates we prefer.
