History
editChophouses started inLondonin the 1690s and served individual portions of meat, known aschops.[2]The traditional nature of the food served was zealously maintained through the later 19th century despite the new cooking styles from theContinent,which were becoming fashionable. The houses were normally open only for men.[3]The oldest chophouse in London,Simpson's Tavernis regarded as an institution of London and retains its 19th century decor.
The steakhouse started in the United States in the mid-19th century as a development from traditional inns and bars.[4]Steakhouses can be casual or formal fine-dining restaurants.
The oldest continuously operating steakhouse in the United States is theOld Homestead SteakhouseinNew York City,established in 1868. Prior to that, there were chophouses in New York City such as Cobweb Hall, owned by David Pattullo, which was known for itsmuttonchops and offered additional menu options such asbeefsteaks,lamb kidneys,bacon,andpotatoes.[5]
Today, steakhouses are found throughout the USA.[6]
