Big Kahuna Burger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Big Kahuna Burger as seen in Pulp Fiction
Big Kahuna Burger is a fictional chain of Hawaiian-themed fast food restaurants that appears in the movies of Quentin Tarantino including Death Proof, Four Rooms, From Dusk Till Dawn, Pulp Fiction ("Big Kahuna Burger. That's that Hawaiian burger joint."), and Reservoir Dogs.[1] The packaging was created by Tarantino's old friend Jerry Martinez.[2]
Since the name's use in films, some restaurants have referenced it in either their name or that of a product.[3][4][5][6]
The Big Kahuna Burger is also seen in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
