Hawaiian plants in Aloha Cafe

Transcript
Craig Nagasawa: " If you went to Aloha Cafe, I think, you'll have to ask Wade Doi about this, I believe his father was from Hawaii. So the inside of their restaurant, Aloha Cafe, had all of these potted plants that were Hawaiian. These, one of those big leaved things, these kind of iris type things with a big stem in the middle. They're very ornamental looking. Anyways. They had all of these sort of plants along the walls, potted. They were big though, they would grow up but they were really specific to Hawaii. And so again, I remember going in there and thinking, this is completely different than anything you would see in any other store."
