July 4th may have come and gone, but the Spirit of ā€˜76 is alive and well again this week. Patriotism is in the news, at least for those of us who love eating meat…

A new steakhouse in Long Island is opening with a history-laden backstory focused on the ā€œCIAā€ spy ring of the Revolutionary War. Let’s talk about Culper’s 1778 of Long Island…

Think: ā€œWhat if a Revolutionary War reenactor wanted to open a high-end steak spot?ā€

Turns out the Culper’s 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 that’ll make you feel like you’re 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?
