[YouTube Drop] How the Reformation Invented Restaurants

When did people first start eating out in England, and how did the
Reformation play a role? This episode traces the rise of taverns,
cook shops, and ordinaries in medieval and Tudor England, from the
first tablecloths in Westminster to the explosion of alehouses
after the monasteries closed. Discover how eating out shifted from
charity to commerce, and why it mattered for more than just food.
