Did not chart on the RPM 100 Albums Chart.

It all began at Allen's Restaurant in Toronto. Marc Jordan, Murray McLauchlan and Ian Thomas were chatting over lunch and realized that, in the course of their three decade friendship, they had never performed together. Feeling the need for a little Yin, the boys invited Cindy Church to join the party with her sweet voice and just a touch of Maritime sass.
Lunch at Allen's is a rare evening filled with best-loved hits and a glimpse into the friendship shared by these four artists as they sing and play each other's songs.
