I have some of the Kahiki recipes too, and the Mai Kai one that was online.
And people have wanted me to give them to them but I said I would not
give them out so I did not.

Even had some people want me to let them print the very first Beach Bum Berry cocktail
book he put out himself so we could pass that out.
DAM I did not even know Berry and said no to that.

So here is the question...
The Kahiki recipes should not die and never be seen, and the Kahiki is closed.
To share these when a place is open and still using them is a dick move.
How long do I sit on them?
Some of these came with no vow of secrecy, and even the one that did I had already
from another source.
Got that one from three different people and they are all the same so I think it's right.

So what's right?

If you've got the recipes from a classic Polynesian Palace that's no longer in operation, I'd say you almost NEED to publish them. If the restaurant is gone, those recipes are the only chance anyone who wasn't lucky enough to dine there has at tasting an important part of tiki history. As you say, those recipes should not be allowed to die.
