Shouldn't the guy that invented these great drink variants (Dr Fong, Mai Tai) get more credit then what has been given so far..... It isn't that we don't care about his drink recipes, it's just all of us care more about the historical value of the restaurant and it's contents than we do about drink recipes! Read the posts again if you don't get it. Sorry to come off with an attitude, but I am pretty sure I speak for all the tikphiles in the area. In other words the future of the restaurant is in extreme jeopardy, and that is more important to any of us than drink recipes. Besides his daughter Betty has those recipes, so not really worried about that! :wink:
