Demos was known for establishing the Coach House Restaurant on South Broadway as the epitome of elegant dining in Lexington opening in 1969, serving movers and shakers, as well as ordinary Kentuckians out for a special, fancy celebration. He served a continental menu featured largely French cuisine, with some Greek offerings and Italian pasta dishes.
