The Church of Tiki
To aficionados of Polynesian Pop, the Kahiki Supper Club was and remains
the touchstone for all things tiki. The epitome of a fad that started at
the end of Prohibition, it has been rediscovered by each successive
generation, with relics of the original "mothership" proudly displayed
in tropical restaurants and bars throughout the country. Years after its
razing in August 2000, the legacy of the Kahiki continues to inspire
artists, entrepreneurs, and other visionaries, many of whom never set
foot inside the fabled tiki palace.
From the authors of Kahiki Supper Club comes a new collection of more
stories, more images, and more delicious recipes that explain why the
Kahiki was such a historically, culturally, and sociologically important
artifact of the twentieth century.
