When asked why he decided to open a tiki bar in Beverly Hills' pricey Golden Triangle, the first thing he does is disavow the "T" word. "It's not tiki," he says emphatically. "I call it Polynesian panache." If the owner says it's not a Tiki Bar then why are we haggling over whether it is or isn't? Just call it a cool Polynesian Panache Bar. Years from now we will be haggling over which was the first Polynesian Panache Bar that started the PP craze.
