Mai Kai

Currently reading this very fun book by Tim "Swanky" Glazner that provides an overview of America's Polynesian pop heyday to the present through the lens of one legendary Florida restaurant. Opened in 1956, the restaurant is still in operation celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. The tiki revival has been going strong for the last 20 or so years but very few of the original establishments survived the tiki devolution of the 70s and 80s except for the glorious Mai Kai.
