The London Chop House

Last night, Bob, Colton and Shannon played at the re-opening of The London Chop House on E. Congress in Detroit's financial district. It was a private opening, but Bob managed to get Mom and I on the list. It was so fun to get gussied up and go downtown. I wore my new Manolo's and was greeted with champagne at the coat check. Wonderful.

The London Chop House was in business for 50 years and closed in 1991. It was a critically acclaimed restaurant, named one of the top 10 restaurants by James Beard in 1961 and repeatedly placed in the top 25 in Playboy. Local business men, car execs, ad men, athletes and celebrities were the nightly clientele. Many have graced the stage including Barbara Streisand and it is rumored Frank Sinatra would sing a tune here and there between cocktails. It was truly an honor to play a few songs up there and I can only hope that the famed Chophouse will return to it's original grandeur in the grand city of Detroit.

They have these original bright red phone booths near the bar.
Local calls, 10 cents.

Some clips of our songs, The Pie Song and Kalamazoo from last night.
