Save the Mai-Kai! - A Moment of Tiki Episode 24

The Mai-Kai, that high holy place of tiki culture, is in trouble. After suffering catastrophic damage to the kitchen in October of 2020, the owners planned to repair, rebuild and reopen. But nothing is ever simple, and complications quickly escalated the price for restoring the Polynesian palace to its fully functioning glory. The situation has grown serious enough that the family has retained a firm to seek outside investors or, gasp, buyers for the property. In this episode of A MOMENT OF TIKI, I go over what is publicly known at this time about the Mai Kai's future, why this place is so special and why it needs to be saved (Any errors or inaccuracies are purely my own, and developing events may render this video obsolete. Think of it as a snapshot in time). I also review Tim "Swanky" Glazner's book, MAI-KAI: HISTORY AND MYSTERY OF THE ICONIC TIKI RESTAURANT, which is the best and most lavish history of that place ever published. Trust me, it's a keeper.
