Donn Beach (February 22, 1907 – June 7, 1989), born Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, was the founding father of the Tiki Bar. After years of being called Don the Beachcomber because of his original bar/restaurant, Gantt changed his name several times, first using Donn Beach-Comber, then Donn Beachcomber, and finally settling on Donn Beach, which became his legal name. What say you regarding Don?

Apparently, the Polynesian / Tiki theme was popular during the 40s and 50s. Not too far from Burbank is a restaurant called Damon's, also with the same flavor decor inside. Are there any restaurants or bars in your area that are somewhat Polynesian themed?
