About Trader Vic’s + the Mai Tai

Decades ahead of his time, Vic ‘The Trader’ Bergeron chose to offer Chinese dishes alongside the then-contemporary Continental cuisine, creating maybe the original fusion menu. Today, Trader Vic’s continues the tradition and still uses the Chinese Wood-fired Ovens featuring dishes from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, and Japan. And, as we all know, Trader Vic’s claims to be home to the original Mai Tai.

According to the Trader, Vic Bergeron, “In 1944, after success with several exotic rum drinks, I felt a new drink was needed. I was at the service bar in my Oakland restaurant. I took down a bottle of 17-year-old Jamaican J. Wray Nephew rum, added fresh lime, some Orange Curaçao from Holland, a dash of Rock Candy Syrup, and a dollop of French Orgeat, for its subtle flavor. A generous amount of shaved ice and vigorous shaking by hand produced the marriage I was after. Half the lime shell went in for color, I stuck in a branch of fresh mint, and gave two of them to Ham and Carrie Guild, friends from Tahiti, who were there that night. Carrie took one sip and said, “Mai Tai – Roa Ae” In Tahitian means “Out of this World- The Best”. Well, that was that, I named the drink ‘Mai Tai.’”

The Experience, Emeryville: RCCD Eco Art

The Experience:

Big Daddy – Placemaking in the Urban Environment!

Who was Big Daddy?  Folks always ask this. When the abandoned gas station on Peralta burned down, the City of Emeryville asked the residents what they’d like to see on the site. Big Daddy’s Complete Rejuvenating Community Garden is the result, the name a riff on Big Daddy Green’s original car-detailing business there.

Big Daddy’s is hosting a series of events this summer. You can tour the raised-bed garden boxes tended by community members, the eco-friendly home to many native plants and pollinators as well as numerous sculptures and artworks.

Sunday Summer Events and Eco-Art will happen on Aug 18, 23, Sept 15 and Oct 1 with funding provided by the State of California and Emeryville’s Rotten City Cultural District. Admission is free and the site is wheelchair accessible.

Join them for their first Eco-Art event at Big Daddy’s.
