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.’”

(Victor Bergeron and Carrie Guild featured below in 1970)

The Experience, Emeryville: Annual Art Exhibition Opening Night @ Public Market

The Experience:

Be Seen at the Art Scene + Meet the Artists!

You are invited to Opening Night of Emeryville’s 38th Annual Art Exhibition Friday, October 4, 6-9pm at the southern part of Public Market Emeryville, 5905 Shellmound St. This juried exhibition produced by Celebration of the Arts, features more than 200 artworks created by 154 Emeryville artists. On opening night you get to meet the artists and get a first look at their artwork as you listen to music by The doRiaN Mode: Vintage Jazz & Blues. A no-host bar raises funds for the Emeryville Youth Art Program. It’s always an electrifying opening night as the community celebrates the city’s thriving collective creativity..

Celebrating Emeryville’s vibrant arts community, the Annual Art Exhibition showcases the depth of talent and diverse artistic expression of both emerging and established artists that live or work in Emeryville. Selected as one of California’s fourteen state-designated Cultural Districts, Emeryville represents an innovative enclave devoted to art and creative production. The exhibition is an important example of community cooperation engaging artists, businesses, community members and city government and continues to serve as the annual celebration of this collective creativity.

 “Emeryville claims only a very small, albeit beautiful, slice of the Bay but its creative community continues to grow as evidenced by this year’s enormous show with many new voices and visions,” said Sharon Wilchar, exhibition coordinator. “And our city’s artistic roots run deep as established artists who have lived here for years, decades, look forward to their part each fall in the annual celebration. Several of note this year after time away are photographer Richard Misrach, mixed-media and installation artist Robert Ortbal, and jeweler Bassem Elias. It is so exciting for me to see their new work alongside emerging artists that are submitting work for the first time.”

The exhibition is open October 5 – 27, 2024, from 11am to 6 pm, Wednesdays through Sundays at Public Market Emeryville, located at 5905 Shellmound Street, Emeryville, CA.  For details, directions, and Emery-go-round stop information, log onto www.emeryarts.org.
