Stoked to be on the East Coast • Footage captured a few minutes before guests sat at the table • August 2025, York Maine • Perkins House Museum 

This house is absolutely central to the preservation history of York as its early 20th century occupants, Mary Sowles Perkins (1845-1929) and her daughter Elizabeth B. Perkins (1869-1952) contributed it and several other structures (the Old Gaol, Jefferds Tavern, the old Schoolhouse, and the John Hancock warehouse) to what would eventually become the Old York Historical Society as well as encouraging other preservation efforts. So it seems right that Old York’s administrative offices have been relocated to this site as well. There was a whirlwind of restoration, expansion, embellishment and entertaining after the Perkins family purchased the house in 1898: they were from New York, and seem to have known everyone. Mark Twain came over from his summer rental across the river to use their telephone, the first one in York, and in 1905 they hosted the grandest party of the era: a Japenese-themed fête to celebrate the conclusion of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 with over 700 guests in attendence.

Chef Mary Dumont and OITF founder Jim Denevan go way back. Years ago, when Jim was running the kitchen at Gabriella Café in Santa Cruz, Mary was waiting tables there, and the concept for Outstanding in the Field was still just a spark in Jim’s imagination. One day, Mary had told him, “I really would like to become a chef.” From that moment on, she pursued her culinary dreams, eventually earning acclaim in celebrated San Francisco kitchens before returning to New England to leave her mark.

This summer, we had the pleasure of bringing Mary and Jim back together in coastal Maine, on the grounds of the historic Perkins House Museum—once home to ferrymen and sea captains. Lady Oyster kicked off the evening with a stunning spread of Maine oysters, followed by an unforgettable meal crafted by Chef Mary, surrounded by salty air, good company, and a sense of coming full circle.
