chophouses
Beef-focused eateries
Chophouses are restaurants specializing in meat dishes, particularly chops and steaks.
The term dates to a style of British eating establishment serving simple, hearty fare—grilled meats, potatoes, beer.
American steakhouses descend from this tradition: The old chophouses near the financial district catered to businessmen who wanted a quick, substantial lunch.
