The History Of Tiki Cocktails | Proof Podcast From America's Test Kitchen

[@rdvqc]

Our memories are go back to the Kon Tiki at the Montreal Sheraton which existed between 1958 and 1981. This restauran was, the first of the Kon-Tiki chain owned by Steve Crane. The Kon-Tiki in Cleveland and others in Boston, Dallas, Chicago Portland, OR and Honolulu were part of the same group.

Outstanding application! Brigette & Jack you nailed it. Thanks so much.

I was just a little too young to get to experience the Tiki scene directly, but with older than average parents, I saw enough of it to be completely fascinated. Thanks for the podcast!

Loving these podcasts!!

[@bentleyr00d]

I do kind of wish I was driving while this played, but still, this was a fun and informative listen. And one can never have too much Bridget Lancaster. To the people who hate podcasts and only like videos, well, maybe don't listen. Just do something else.

I'd forgotten about Trader Vic's and other such restaurants and all the sappy tropical drinks that were so popular. I assume we were smitten with Hawaii and the south pacific.

I’ve always loved the tiki style places. Loved it so much we had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Blue Hawaii in Nashville. For many reasons, it will always be bright in my my memory, even after nearly 46 years. The restaurant is gone now, but the marriage is going strong. I would love to find an existing tiki place to take my wife for our anniversary. There certainly isn’t one here in Evansville.

Great story. I love Tiki. It’s kitch in all the right ways. I don’t intend to take anything away from Smugglers Cove as a bar but how do you talk about tiki in the SF Bay Area and not mention the Tonga Room in the basement of the Fairmont Hotel. It’s been there since 1945 and it is an amazing experience.

Bridge, you are GREAT on these podcasts!

[@mordeys]

love these. the style, the audio and the playful way we are getting history lessons. please please keep these up!!!@

[@OnDasherOnDancer]

There is a much loved “Kon Tiki” restaurant where I live that has stood for around 60 years. Food is “meh” but I hear the “Scorpion Bowl” still packs a whallop!

[@barrycoe8539]

I kind of like the podcast. It reminds me of "The Splendid Table" on NPR. I can listen and play stupid Facebook games at the same time.

[@bentleyr00d]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@MasterYourGlass]

Great stuff here. I learned a lot.

Tiki barber; a man who didn't start the Tiki craze, and doesn't need a barber.

[@medinalba]

???? and the recipes?

[@kilroyscarnivalfl]

medinalba I just discovered this feed yesterday (only reason I unsubbed on YT is that I added as a podcast in PocketCasts.) The Proof audio-only series seems like it’s more in-depth stories behind the food (food science, history, trends) than recipes, to complement the ATK and Cooks Country recipe- and technique-driven series. I for one love it, and the “Celery” one was the biggest surprise. If you only want recipes, then this isn’t the feed for you, but the Cooks/ATK has plenty to offer here on YT. 🕊

Hi, would you do this as a video, instead of a podcast? I detest podcasts, and never listen to them. I'm online with a video screen, podcasts make no sense on You Tube. Thanks! Gave it a thumbs down, as it is not a video, it is audio only.

[@lesliesaraiva7270]

I watched the first, second and now I can say 3 times, you're out.

[@BornRandy62]

I am watching KZbin in order to listen to a radio broadcast? I am hearing sound effects that you shot this with visual info available. Why not provide a slide show in the very least?

[@DearHenryA]

I agree. At least do what many other channels do, video themselves rambling on and on. At least they put "podcast" in the title so we know it isn't really a video.

[@DearHenryA]

@Ruthlessnoodle When you resort to name calling, you've lost the argument.

[@bentleyr00d]

@@DearHenryA what argument?

[@DearHenryA]

@@bentleyr00d The one that Ruthlessnoodle is trying to start.

[@longtermcareexperiences-bi5685]

Interesting podcast, but video is missing. Retro radio show format is not worth my time.

[@franciegarneau1651]

This is a total waste of time and energy. This is the 3rd. "proof" program that has been in my email. I think I am going to unsubscribe if this is what you call video!

[@ellengregory8002]

We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

Not a fan of this style of vids because I'm not sitting in my car 🤔🤷‍♂️
