feeling Saturday night, the hangover quesadilla
comes with a little bit of everything
— steak, chicken, pork and three cheeses will
take care of any residual pain.
At traditional drag performances, the
queens take center stage. And at most
brunches, the food and drinks are the stars of
the show. But at drag brunch, you’ve got the
perfect combination of both. The queens strut
and sing and banter with each other and customers
alike, and no topic is off-limits.
“It’s basically gay church and we’re your
crossdressing ministers,” explained Golden
Delicious. And by the time you leave, you’ll
have danced yourself clean. Or at least,
watched the queens put on a performance
that more than earns the dollar bills patrons
shove at them.
A table of girls who came to celebrate a
birthday said the drag brunch exceeded
their expectations and even outweighed
drag shows they’ve seen in the past. “This
was even better because they involve everyone,”
said Iliana Polanco, who danced
her heart out during an audience participation
portion. “I’d really recommend it to
anyone.”
