T tastysp Member Joined: Oct 07, 2002 Posts: 192	T tastysp Posted posted on Fri, Jul 9, 2010 9:04 AM I think the producer mentioned that it was for a holiday show. Anthony was trying to think what would be the most un-holiday thing to do and I guess drinking MaiTais in a Tiki bar came to the top of the list

I like how he coordinated the tie with your shirt :wink:. If it's a holiday special, based on the outfit...could it be for Valentine's day? Hope not....that's too far out.

He always seemed more genuine than most - for instance - anyone here actually watch that horrible Hell's Kitchen?! Who REALLY believes that BS anyhow?! But I digress: will it be a show we can watch on the internet 'cause I only have antenna TV and I'd REALLY like to see it?

What did he drink? How many F-bombs did he drop? :D I didn't actually stay for the taping just the during the set up. We did chat about the Hawaii Kai and Trader Vics at the Plaza. He had fond memories of both esp. the midget with the epaulets outside Hawaii Kai as well as Jade Island and King Yum. We made him a Volcano Bowl, Mai Tai and a few other drinks. Nell mentioned at the end of the taping while everybody was cleaning up, she put on some AC/DC on the sound system as she readied for work and Anthony started rockin' out and decided he needed another Tki drink before moving on to their next destination.

Q quickiki Member Stockton, CA Joined: Dec 29, 2005 Posts: 140	Q quickiki Posted posted on Tue, Dec 7, 2010 7:26 AM It was a pretty small segment, but entertaining none the less. I believe he did a tiki bar segment on a Hawaii episode, as well as purchase a vintage Hawaiian shirt. I've also seen him sport an Avanti reproduction Aloha shirt on another unrelated episode. He seems pretty on board with the tiki bar concept as a vehicle to explore well made, almost forgotten cocktails, but I don't get a really clear read on his views with the culture. At times, he seems to almost mock it, but then again, he does that with just about everything.

Included him expressing how his dream was to have thatch and tiki themed bar in his apartment! I think there are some people around here that could hook him up! Punk rock fans will like it as well - wait for the last 10 minutes!

Yeah, shameful what Jerry's done with the Misfits corpse... But anyways - just saw the show last night. Awesome! Maybe Anthony will start incorporating tiki into every episode now...
