This from todays Steve Dahl Show...
2:34 Steve was at Harry Caray's today for the passing of the Trader VIc's Tiki Torch. ABC was there as well as some newspaper people. Wendy was also in attendance.
2:35 Steve doesn't like being at an event where not everyone there wants him to be there. Half the people at Harry Caray's were just there to eat lunch.
2:37 Wendy had a Mai-Tai and it really gave her a buzz. That's the original recipe so it's definitely going to knock you down.
2:38 Steve was going to give Wendy a ride home but she got ouf there early. She had to leave because she wanted another Mai-Tai and a cigarette and knew both were a bad idea.
2:41 Hans Richter from Trader Vic's will be coming in today. He's a bigger Trader VIc's expert than Steve.
2:43 Steve did sort of have a weird experience with one of the guys at the event. He had made a joke during his MCing about how he thought it'd be cool to cash in his frequent flyer miles and drink his way through every Trader Vic's in the world. Now that he's not drinking though he thought about eating an egg roll at every Trader Vic's.
2:44 Afterwards a guy who was about 30 came up to Steve and told him that he actually flew around the world hitting every Trader Vic's and trying a Mai-Tai then wrote a book about it.
2:45 The guy was from Chicago but he had no idea who Steve was. Then he started to think that maybe he's let the brand slip a little bit. How could a guy who's from here and wrote a book about Trader Vic's not know who Steve is?...
