Mongolian Barbecue (Jan. 1966); Surfer Slang (Oct. 1963)

MONGOLIAN BARBECUE (continued)

   This has long puzzled me.  "Mongolian" barbecue existed since Genghis Khan, but where was it in the U.S. before the 1960s-1970s?
   A great article is in PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC, January/February 1966, pg. 32:

_THE BROIL IT YOURSELF BARBECUE_
(...)
   The chef-general was Genghis Khan and the brown-and-serve method of cooking he improvised bears his name today in a number of fashionable restaurants throughout the Pacific.  The mode of cooking has at last landed under the American flag and in Hawaii there are no less than three restaurants offering a Mongolian menu: Furusato's, Kaneda's and the elegant Kahala Hilton.
