Synopsis[]
Farley Elliott (@overoverunder, SF Gate) joins the 'boys to talk LA malls, Wheel of Fortune, and tiki drinks before a review of Tiki Mirage.
Umbrella rating[]
Tiki Mirage is a sort of secretive pop-up tiki bar that is set up in the back of a box truck.
(Farley wrote a review of it for Eater LA that explains it all better.)
They talk through the decor, ambiance, and all the different tiki drinks they had. Joe Saunders was also with them.

| Nick Wiger | 5 Umbrellas |
| Mike Mitchell | 5 Umbrellas |
| Farley Elliott | 5 Umbrellas |
Mitch says they shouldn't rate it, but they all immediately agree it was a 5 Umbrella experience.
(Since it's not a full review or even restaurant, it will not canonically be put in the Platinum Plate Club.)
