Chippendales is one of those names that feels like it's always been a part of America's lexicon, even though as a kid I never really knew anything about what the place was or why I'd heard the name before. Then I grew up, and through social osmosis came to find out a thing or two, like how Chippendales is a strip club that features exclusively male dancers. Even more elusive was the origin story of such a place, at least until recently. Hulu's new limited series Welcome to Chippendales tells the story of one Somen "Steve" Banerjee, the Indian American upstart who created the now world-famous stripper troupe.
