    Strip clubs are about get a bump in business.

    "Strip club, limousines, nightclubs, hefty unexplained wire transfers, cash withdrawals, luxury hotels, expensive restaurants, clothing, sporting goods, and private car services are all listed as expenses after White had officially lost the 2022 Republican primary. The total amount of questionable expenses surpasses $100,000.

    In a statement to The Daily Beast*,* White claimed that the lavish spending at Gold Rush was campaign-related as he had recorded a podcast in Miami, and that he simply likes “the food there.” Rough calculations done by The Daily Beast based on Gold Rush’s menu suggest that those present would have had to order 48 of the establishment’s $25 appetizer platters in order to have spent $1,200."

          The capillary action of the taste buds is greatly impeded with insufficient blood flow. This makes almost anything ‘taste’ better.

          It’s actually similar for any business that isn’t “restaurant first” but sells food and doesnt min-max for profits from it. If you give a chef free rein on control of a kitchen there’s a really good chance he’s gonna make the best menu he can with the limited resources he’s allowed. No corporate obligations to use worse ingredients or turn everything into microwave meals goes a long way for food quality.

          But I’ve gotta be objective too I suppose. Sometimes the best ingredients, spices, and passionate chefs aren’t what makes food taste great. It could just be their eyeballs blinding the taste buds as the girls dance by.

            it also helps that strip clubs are dark, a lot of them allow you to smoke, and if you’re into strippers… you’re surrounded by them while you eat.
