One evening, a long long time ago Grandpa Dart Carlson was waiting for us (Kay and Carl) at the Coral Reef restaurant in Sacramento.  It was our favorite place to eat in that area. He and Grandma were sitting in the bar having our favorite Mat Tai drinks.  He was complimenting the Bartender on how good the Mat Tais were and the bartender gave him the recipe.
