Description: Vintage Menu. tiki, scarce san francisco - oakland item, copyright 1951. mid century style 8 pages inside of menu plus outer cardboard .Trader Vic's is a restaurant and tiki bar chain, Victor Jules Bergeron, Jr. founded the chain., a competitor for many years of, Donn Beach of the "Don the Beachcomber" restaurants. Vic founded Hinky Dink's as it evolved, the menu and decor developed a tropical flair, and Hinky Dink's soon became Trader Vic's. Because Bergeron lacked the capital to expand, he partnered with Hilton Hotels. Conrad Hilton opened his first Trader Vic's in The Beverly Hilton in 1955. Two years later, Hilton opened another Trader Vic's in The Palmer House in Chicago, and made a mint off the idea. Sheraton Hotels quickly opened competing chains of tiki restaurants in their hotels, known as Ports O' Call and Kon-Tiki. During the Tiki fad of the 1950s and 1960s, Trader Vics became one of the first successful themed chains, it developed a marketing model that many other theme restaurants followed. by sunday, i will be listing in seperate ebay auctions, several other tiki, restaurant menus and related items in other auctions ie top of the isle, ohio, bali hai from new orleans, luau hut from providence RI, the beachcomber from miami, trader vics, don the beachcomber, the blue angel of chicago, kon tiki, etc and . some scarcer tikki items. also other older items like from zamboanga. harlems hot spot - smalls paradise, hollywood restaurant nyc, studio cafe universal studios, etc Condition as shown in the photos. sorry i am not great at photography, best i could do. this is a vintage item for collectors.
