Last week, chef Katy Sparks told Grub that she wanted to serve “accessible food — the kind you want to eat regularly” at the reboot of Tavern on the Green, which opens to the public on April 24. The menu relies heavily on high-quality ingredients sourced from local purveyors, like La Quercia speck and Finnish Ruis bread. Take a look at a few of the dishes, straight ahead.
