Etymology
The term 'chophouse' originates from the mid-19th century, derived from the 'chop' - a cut of meat, and 'house', meaning a place where something is served or offered. The word first appeared in the English lexicon in relation to establishments that offered hearty meals primarily focused on meat cuts. Traditionally, these restaurants catered to working-class men seeking substantial meals after a day's labor. Chophouses began to gain popularity in urban areas, particularly in England and the United States, serving as gathering spots for meat lovers. Over the years, the concept of the chophouse has evolved, and while many still maintain the classic vibe, modern establishments may incorporate various culinary influences, adapting to contemporary tastes while preserving their dedication to high-quality meat.
