During this weekend's Tiki Crawl, we went to the Bamboo Hut, which has been on the crawl for the last 4 years, at least. The Bamboo Hut's website (which looks like it was done a few years ago and not touched since) makes mention that the tiki there dates from 1948, though it doesn't mention anything about its provenance: http://www.maximumproductions.com/bamboo.htm Someone we were chatting with this weekend (I don't remember who, I'm afraid -- AquaZombie?) mentioned that they'd learned where it came from when Bamboo Hut first opened in 1999, and that it was from a place in Sacramento, but we couldn't figure out the name. I'm betting now that it's the tiki from the sign at the Coral Reef that now resides at the Bamboo Hut in San Francisco: It's a whopper! |
