Tiki's Dark Side and One Bar Heading Toward the Light
Edible Manhattan/Edible Brooklyn, Summer 2023
By Julia Sexton
During our 2022 redesign, I instituted several new departments. This story comes from Intersection, the department that explores the intersection of food and something else. This story appeared in both editions of our magazine: Edible Brooklyn/Edible Manhattan and Edible Hudson Valley/Edible Westchester.
This was one of those stories where I spent a week falling down a research rabbit hole, growing steadily more horrified by the flippant racism of mid-century tiki culture. The painting below says it all.
