Where did the concept of the steakhouse begin? According to Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster, “The steakhouse began as the chophouse in the U.K. Chophouses started to appear in London in the 1690s as restaurants where individual portions of meat, or chops, were served to patrons. Originally, these chophouses catered only to men and their purpose was to serve a meal that was hot and quick to local workers.” While steakhouses originated in London, according to Christner’s, they are obviously popular in the States today.
