History and concept
Origin: Victor Bergeron, or "Trader Vic," transformed his Oakland restaurant, "Hinky Dinks," into an island-inspired retreat in 1934.
Tiki culture: The restaurant chain is a major figure in tiki culture, known for its distinctive Polynesian decor with bamboo, carvings, and tapa cloth.
Cuisine: Trader Vic's pioneered a fusion of multi-ethnic cuisines, including Chinese and Asian influences, often prepared in large wood-fired ovens.
Cocktails: The brand is world-famous for its tropical cocktails. In 1944, Victor Bergeron created the Mai Tai, a drink he served to friends who exclaimed it was "Mai Tai Roa Ae!"—Tahitian for "the best—out of this world!"
