"Inside King’s Arms Tavern I encountered menus described as “authentic, but familiar,” and heard executive chef Stephen Perkins explain how a recipe from Martha Washington’s book — a beef stewed in the French manner — reads like a pot roast with a lot of red wine; since taking over operations in 2021 Perkins has been shifting the taverns away from inaccurate modern items (like bangers and mash) toward dishes pulled from 1700s cookbooks while also adapting recipes for modern equipment, safety, and diner tastes." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
