Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Trad'r Sam opened in the 30's...before Trader Vic's...

Aquatic,

I had that same question, so I did a little research. The original Trader Vic's officially transitioned from Hinky Dinks in 1936. An article I found online indicated that Trad'r Sam opened after that. So, I think we can still consider it a copycat.
