A new steakhouse in Long Island is opening with a history-laden backstory focused on the āCIAā spy ring of the Revolutionary War. Letās talk about Culperās 1778 of Long Islandā¦

Think: āWhat if a Revolutionary War reenactor wanted to open a high-end steak spot?ā
Turns out the Culperās 1778 owners are big fans of a Revolutionary War espionage group known as the Culper spy ring. Those brave Long Islander spies had a solid patriotic track record, including playing a part in preventing Benedict Arnold from carrying out his treasonous plans. Solid work there, Culper boys.
The new steakhouse is packed with decorations and memorabilia that would make Paul Revere feel right at home. They also have a musket. Why not?
Plus, colonial-themed cocktails thatāll make you feel like youāre getting hammered with the real Sam Adams.
What do we think, Dead Meat Society? Would a backdrop of American Independence pair nicely with a medium-rare ribeye?
