Why are the legends (Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic, Steve Crane, etc.) never criticized for being non-tiki? Why are the examples below considered tiki? Because they are old? Because they appear in the Book of Tiki? Because of the name on them? Because those guys created and defined tiki. If you wanna get right down to it, Donn Beach invented Tiki. Trader Vic copied him and built upon it, as did others.
