Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" was the only top 40 hit of his career in the U.S. We know you can sing along, but what Chinese restaurant was referenced in the first verse?

Answer Lee Ho Fook

What started out as a simple joke made by Phil Everly of The Everly Brothers to Warren Zevon in 1975 turned out to be the only top 40 hit of his entire career in America. The song was inspired by the 1935 film Werewolf of London and referenced Lee Ho Fook, a Chinese restaurant located on 15 Gerrard Street in London's Chinatown.
