Just got off the phone with a guy who was in the military with Jack Thronton, co-founder of the Mai-Kai. He said they went there often when stationed at Camp Roberts. Jack would get the Sidewinder's Fang and once they got to know the bartender, sometimes he'd let him have 2 of them a night.

He said Jack was inspired by the place and always said he'd open a place just like it one day. One day was about 3 years later!
