Sad to hear that Alice is gone, I wondered if it was about a real
restaurant.

"Back in 1964, Alice and her former husband Ray Brock purchased the
St. James Chapel building located at 2 Van Deusenville Road.

The building was originally the St. James Chapel, built in 1829.
Eventually, the building was expanded in 1866 and renamed the Trinity
Church.

Around the same time, Ray and Alice Brock also opened Alice's
Restaurant in Stockbridge.

Musician Arlo Guthrie was a friend of the Brocks and stayed with them
at the church during Thanksgiving."
