I’m a little more libertarian when it comes to this type of stuff, folks—so, fair warning here. We’ve all been dealing with the shutdowns over COVID. It’s been hard. Despite what the so-called experts say, we’re not all in this together. How can you say that with a straight face? For millions of Americans, they can’t work from home. That’s a privilege, and I consider myself very lucky. In Virginia alone, over 200,000 workers in the hospitality business have been furloughed or let go. What do they do for money? The bills aren’t put on hold because we’re neck-deep in a pandemic right now. One of the underreported narratives about COVID is this split between those who can work from home and those who can’t—and how the “stay at home and save lives” war cry really only applies to a select few in this country. And as the so-called medical experts turn a blind eye to the Black Lives Matter protests, seemingly suggesting that the virus is not transmissible in gatherings of moral urgency, the whole argument for lockdowns has collapsed. Everyone get inside, except for the rioters is not a sustainable argument. In fact, it’s not an argument at all.
But let’s venture out to the Left Coast, where one establishment decided to pull an audible, save its workers from being fired, and retool its services in order to keep their workers employed. It’s about communities coming together. It’s about how businesses have transformed their models during COVID. This is the story of Boober Eats, the voluptuous food delivery service that was born from Lucky Devil Lounge, a local strip club in Portland, Oregon that operated for a brief time until Uber noticed what they were doing. It was a brief burst of glory.
Hey, some of these dancers have bills and families to support as well, folks. Let’s not sit in judgment. Also, this idea is genius. Who doesn’t want a burger, fries, and a side of boobs? This is an old story, as Boober Eats launched in March, but it’s one that shows the entrepreneurial spirit of America. You make what you will from her, whether it be in the newsroom spewing liberal propaganda or working that stripper pole (via Oregon Live):
Working on keeping our kitchen open for food deliveries and our staff employed. Dancers will be delivering the food orders topless to your doorstep. Calling it Boober© #boober #luckydevillounge

Portland finds a way. Close down her strip clubs, and dancers will do delivery.
That’s what’s happening at the Lucky Devil Lounge at 633 S.E. Powell Blvd. The club was forced to close with Gov. Kate Brown’s mandate to stem the spread of coronavirus, but the order does allow food establishments to offer take-out or delivery.
And thus was born club owner Shon Boulden’s newest business: Boober Eats.
The home delivery service, in which a pair of scantily clad strippers will deliver hot food to your door, started as a joke Boulden posted on social media. When people began seriously inquiring about orders, Boulden saw potential.
So, while the rest of Portland was hoarding toilet paper and pasta, he bought out one local store’s stock of pasties.
From 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., Boober Eats is offering the full menu from the Lucky Devil Lounge at the same prices. Delivery rates are generally $30, but vary depending on distance from the lounge.
The only outrageous part about this is the delivery fee…$30! I could say something regarding service, but I’ll just move on here.
Sadly, this operation got on Uber’s radar in April, and they sent a cease and desist letter because some people just have evil in their hearts. As a result, Boober Eats is no more (via KXL Portland):
It will no longer be called Boober Eats, but Portland’s “Lucky Devil Lounge” says it plans to continue delivering food as they have been.
We saw the note on the popular strip club’s website today.
Managers say they got a cease and desist order from UBER ordering them to stop conducting business as “Boober Eats”.
Lucky Devil staffers say they are hardly surprised and a little flattered they got the attention of a major corporation
They say they will try and come up with a new name soon or perhaps even hold a contest.
However, in their online announcement, the Lucky Devil Lounge says it will continue to, “serve your appetite with food and socially distanced dancers”.
Rest in peace, Boober Eats, but God bless America. This is still a nation where anyone can make a buck if you put your mind to it. For now, however, we’re all being subjected to another form of adult entertainment, which is the nonstop panic porn peddled by the liberal media over this virus.
