My brother is visiting from out of town and was telling me he'd met old friend for lunch at a place near his hotel called the Beef Baron, not being familiar with the city he said he figured it was a bbq joint. It isn't, it's a strip club. Then he went on to tell me, laughing, that they actually did have the best beef dip sandwich he'd ever tasted.
I told him that sounded suspiciously like "I only buy the magazine to read the articles."
That's hilarious.
Back when we'd go to the Marble Arch, it was because it was located roughly in between where I and a good friend worked... And we did go there for a clubhosue that was really good (note: you have to work pretty hard to screw one up). Busy place at lunch so more often than not, any available tables were way in the back outta eye shot of the dancin' girls.
In retrospect, we really went there more as an inside joke over the girl friends we had at the time... Fun while it lasted
