    Cheers to the nature of Tiki Cheers to Tiki spirits The Tiki trend started in the 20th century as a result of Polynesian-styled restaurants and bars booming in the United States, which soon spread all over the world. Great examples in the cocktail industry were: Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s, which still inspire us today. Historically, Tiki was the first man on earth created by the gods in Māori mythology which is a great part of the Polynesian culture. Polynesian culture is closely linked to nature, in particular the Pacific. The Polynesians were renowned for their seafaring and navigation skills and explored a large part of the islands in the Pacific Ocean. A lot of the ancient Hawaiian gods looked like natural occurrences, due to their strong connection with nature. For them, this explained that also the flowing of lava from volcanoes was part of the Earth’s creation. They had great respect for nature and all living creatures, unfortunately the later generations were less respectful. Since those ancient times a lot has changed and in the last decades we gained our respect for nature and the Earth’s well-being back.

Its I humor comes from the particularities of Filipino rearticulation of Shakespeare’s famous question (the joke also resonates among Carolin- ian speakers from Micronesia, and perhaps among many other Austronesian-based Pacific Island language speakers), but I also want to suggest that its stronger force likewise comes from a kind of lightness of being that self-mockery can make of ontological fundamentalism. Self-mockery is a serious weapon of cultural resilience and resis- tance—and as someone waiting in line, somewhat impatiently, I want to re-aim the line of “P’s” trajectory in the direction of another culturally and historically specific mode of becoming. The converted question, “To P or not to P?” becomes, then, my way of marking the present territory, a slippery, even sticky sea of historical, political, and cultural determina- tions that exists between Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in a more turbulent ocean of United States imperialism and colonialism. Choppy too, of course, is the no less innocent world of institutionalized study of these struggles, no matter how noble the motives may be. In this essay, I want to address the tensions raised by the “P Ques- tion” in relation to Asian American Studies from the vantage point of one who has been located in Pacific Studies as viewed from the Islands, par- ticularly from Guam in Micronesia, where I was born and raised, and where I taught in the 1990s.

  • A Careful Embrace Race, Gender, and the Consumption of Hawaiʻi and the South Pacific in Mid-Century Los Angeles
    CHAPTER 18 A Careful Embrace Race, Gender, and the Consumption of Hawaiʻi and the South Pacific in Mid-Century Los Angeles Shawn Schwaller Abstract This chapter examines interconnections between race, gender, and global politics in mid-century metropolitan Los Angeles’s Hawaiian and South Pacific-themed restau- rants and cocktail lounges. After opening for business in the early 1930s, Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood was the first establishment to bring a real and imagined Hawaiʻi and South Pacific into mainland American food and drink culture. This chapter argues that gendered and racialized fantasies of the South Pacific played a key role in the popularity of these establishments. They allowed patrons to experience an exotic, yet safe and predictable Hawaiʻi and South Pacific within the continental United States during World War II. Chinese, Filipino Americans and Polynesians contributed to the creation and success of these establishments as chefs, bartenders, and musicians. However, racialized and sexualized stereotypes of Chinese and Filipino American ser- vility and Polynesian hypersexuality overshadowed this influence. Keywords Hawaiʻi – South Pacific – Los Angeles – food and drink culture – white heterosexual masculinity – Asian American history – business – labor – architecture and interior design “If you can’t get to paradise, I’ll bring it to you,” claimed Donn Beach, owner and operator of the first South Pacific-themed restaurant and cocktail lounge in the mainland United States.1 Beach opened his establishment, Don the Beachcomber, in 1930s Hollywood, igniting a trend that came to be known as 1 Jod Kaftan, “Drink in Paradise,” Los Angeles Times Magazine, February 2010, http://www .latimesmagazine.com/2010/02/drink-in-paradise.html (accessed July 24, 2014).

    TIKI KON: FANTASY ISLAND JULY 13-14, 2018 RED LION ON THE RIVER PORTLAND, OR Sponsorship Kit Photos ©2017 Kamala Kingsley Celebrating Our Tiki Heritage Tiki Kon is a weekend celebration of exotic tropical destinations and the Tiki bars, cocktails, art, music and fashions they inspire. Now in its 15th year, Tiki Kon gets its inspiration from the highly-stylized Polynesian-themed restaurants and lounges that exploded in popularity in the decades after WWII. Those Tiki temples were a uniquely American creation, fueled by the stories and souvenirs brought back by the brave men and women serving in the Pacific Theater, and they were the heart of a pop culture phenomenon that lasted nearly 30 years. The bars were a dark and mysterious escape from everyday life, their decor was reminiscent of the South Pacific, drinks were strong and well crafted, fashions were bright and colorful, and the music was exotic. It was the golden age of the Tiki bar. Though that glory had mostly faded by the 1970s and 80s, a resurgence of interest in Tiki bars and fine craft cocktails is again making its mark on American pop culture. A new generation has taken up the Tiki torch, new themed bars and restaurants are opening all the time, and weekend events like Tiki Kon are selling out across the country. Tiki Kon started in 2002 as a small Sunday bar crawl, by a group of friends who wanted to show off and share the elaborate home Tiki bars they’d built in their basements and backyards. It now welcomes guests from the Pacific Northwest and across North America and has grown to become an exciting full-weekend gathering.

  • Trails of the Cocktail 5 14 18.Pdf
    Trails of the Cocktail Few cities can boast more historic significance in their cocktail culture than the Crescent City: birthplace of the Sazerac, Ramos Gin Fizz, the Grasshopper, the Hurricane, and (backed by one of the best apocryphal origin stories ever concocted) even the cocktail itself. In 1769 Spanish Colonial Governor of Louisiana Alejandro O‟Reilly issued a proclamation allowing one limonadier (lemonade seller), twelve taverns and six billiard halls to dispense alcoholic beverages. Closing time was ordained to be 8 pm, but bribes to the necessary officials extended the hours over the years. Rum came into the port of New Orleans and was taxed by the Spanish colonial government. Pat O‟s, Home of “The Hurricane” The “Hurricane”, the most popular drink at Pat O‟Brien‟s in the French Quarter, was created during World War II when liquor such as whiskey was in short supply. In order to purchase just one case of these preferred liquors, liquor salesmen compelled bar owners to purchase as many as 50 cases of rum, which was plentiful. In an effort to utilize the excess of rum, Pat O‟Brien's famous recipe emerged. The name came along soon after when a glass (shaped like a hurricane lamp chimney) was used to serve the popular rum cocktail. Don the Beachcomber (1907 — 1989), founding father of Tiki culture (Tiki bars, restaurants and nightclubs), enjoyed great popularity in the United States — mostly from the late 1940s through the mid-1960s. He and his friendly rival “Trader Vic” Bergeron are still remembered for their cultural influence.
