A great 8x10 shot of Steve Crane enjoying a Scorpion from the famous Bird Bowl. Most likely taken at the Chicago Kon Tiki but not sure.
The photo is dated August 21, 1967 from the Chicago Sun Times. The attached Sun Times article on the back states a rather stunning fact that the Chicago Kon Tiki had become "Chicago's largest restaurant in volume grossing more than $2,300,000 in 1966." Wow! Polynesian fare was big business indeed. |
