Good to get a report back.
I wanted to go to this Blake but after reading the article that the person
who gave this event wrote I felt that it would be weak.
Most of the things from his article really sounded like they came from here.
I hear all the time about how the Grass shack burned down on Mr. Sapps birthday
had I not talked to Mr. Sapp AND printed it here that may still be an unknown fact.
Good thing you were there to relay some of the stories I was able to tell you of the Kahiki.
Heck you even have some of the Kahiki old drink recipes so you would not like the drinks
they made you.:wink:

The Kahiki We knew at the end did not have high quality, inventive cuisine in fact
it was known for it's ok at best food really, The drinks were good IF Jim made them.
But Skip was the bartender that was most loved and had he poured me the worst drink
ever I would have thanked him and tipped him well, the outrageous and fun person that he
was is what we (and most people) went to the bar for.

Should add that the place did have a good reputation when Mr. Sapp and Henry owned the Kahiki.

Do wish more people would share what they know of tiki.
The events, tales of the old places, and items they may find that may be rare or old
here on TC.
The new info in tiki is slowing down, but there are still new things like this event that
could be posted here on TC.
TC has become a site that people go to only sell their event, eBay sale, ect...

Too bad, pay it forward people.
