An open letter to Tiki Central from Martin/Martiki - General Tiki

Back in 2005 when it was announced that you had become a bartender at Trader Vic's, everyone watched in fascination as you honed your craft and learned how to operate a first class establishment. You did this the right way. If more bar owners were to put in that sort of effort and research, Forbidden Island may not be the rare gem that it is and would find itself in far better company. Thank you for reminding us all that what truly matters in life is to follow your passion and to do what you love.

Martin,
