I'm just now reading this thread... Coincidentally I discovered a two-headed tiki in Hollywood, Florida, today around noon as I was walking to lunch at nearby Le Tub.

The two-headed tiki was carved out of the Y of a tree, therefore two heads. It is on display along the sidewalk in front of Joe's Tiki Bar, Grill, and Sushi. It appears to be a real party place at night. I did not get a photo of the tiki, cuz I was not impressed with the place from a tiki perspective, and I was in a hurry to get to lunch. But I did notice it cuz it is unusual.

Don't worry if you never see this place -- it's a mix of authentic tiki stuff, but 95% "Florida tiki" and not real true tiki. Still, there are interesting things to see like the main building is of real palm frond thatch construction. Drinks looked like they would be typical sports bar quality. A number of carved tikis are on site, a number of which are painted bright colors.

Worth seeing? Kinda, but don't worry if you miss it. Next door, however, the tiny Le Tub is a must-see for me when I'm in Fort Lauderdale. Their 13-oz burgers are top notch, and the waterfront seating offers killer views of an inland waterway. Today a bright green local iguana crawled along the wooden railing alongside the waterfront, stopped at our table, and we hand-fed him lettuce which was provided by one of the restaurant's servers.

Ok, I'm way off topic.... Back to the Hukilau festivities for me! :)
