Fuzzy memories

missdianeThe other day when I was pondering whether there were any ChiChi restaurants around (there aren't, by the way), I then started thinking about other defunct places we enjoyed - ones that still have a brand presence around. One of those places is the Kahiki. Their frozen items are still around in stores, evidently. I really should go to Stop and Shop and find some. However the food itself isn't what I remember.
I'm almost sure that it was my 21st birthday where I went there since it was the drinks I remember more. It was one of those places with the big fancy tiki-bar kind of concoctions where on some of them they used dry ice for even further effect aside from the fun cups and little paper umbrellas.
The front of the place:
Miss that quirky place. I don't seem to know many of those types of silly places to go eat anymore.

Date: 20 Apr 2015 01:04 (UTC)I read an article a couple of weeks ago about almost all of the Howard Johnson's restaurants finally closing. I can't say I've ever had a memorable experience at a HoJo's...oh wait...I type that and I remember one where I was in college and we were trying to find a place open late at night. It was kind of sad.

It's not a restaurant but I also love the quirky grocery down in Cincinnati Ohio called Jungle Jim's
