Thanks tons for the plug, Amate. It was an unexpected pleasure to look down and see my site as a topic.

Doc's Atomic Diner started out with more of a MidCentury feel with Tiki being one emphasis. Since then, it has become pretty strictly Tiki, or, more to the point, aimed toward the direction I think Tiki cuisine needs to be going. The dream I'm chasing is to honor the legacy of Donn Beach by using creativity and the culinary diversity to which I've been exposed to create food that is exciting and imaginative.

Porpoise, I'm the chef of a nice restaurant/microbrewery in Abilene, Texas. It's good, but it ain't Tiki. Tiki restaurants aren't faring well in Texas at the moment. All we have is Austin's Hula Hut, which is good Tex-Mex with extra pineapples. I don't get out much, though, so I could be wrong. I really, really hope I am.
