Sure, going to a strip club for the food is like going to a Ravens playoff game for the fresh air. It just doesn't happen. Whether you're there for a bachelor party, a beer after golf or just in need of some temporary female companionship, the allure of a gentlemen's club will always be the women.<br>

But that doesn't mean the food is terrible or even mediocre. Surprisingly enough, Baltimore strip clubs' secret weapons are on the menus, not the poles. Last month, Scores upgraded its menu with cheesesteaks and sandwiches from the famous Tony Luke's in Philadelphia. Regional subs aren't the strip clubs' only surprises: Bavarian pretzel sticks, fish tacos and more are likely to exceed your expectations -- you just need to know where to find them.<br>

We had the insanely difficult, not-at-all envious job of finding five of those hidden gems. Grab a bib and pull up a seat.

Gene this had to be your toughest assignment ever, lol. I wish I had been there when this assignment first popped up on the calendar, or whatever you guys use.

But seriously, I'm kinda shocked The Sun went for this. Grant it's going to bring a lock of clicks, I'd think it would rub a lot of people the wrong way... pun intended.
