On a recent broadcast of WCIA Evening News there was a bit about a restaurant in the viewing area that held “brunch with a drag queen” on Sundays. Perfect Mother’s Day gift! However, I failed to get the name of the place.
Anyone know?
NOTE: I already e-mailed the WCIA manager. No response yet.
I dunno, but I am astounded at the number of places that do a “drag queen brunch” (Google it for amazement).
I live in Champaign 30 years ago, but it certainly wasn’t around then. However, we used to have “Hash Wednesday”, and we were not referring to potatoes.
I searched illinoishomepage.net without success, but it appears there is a place in Washington, D.C. that does this.
Your experience mirrored mine 100%.
I live close, and watch WCIA, but missed that. I will keep looking, though.
Maybe Radio Maria or Chester Street?
I live in C-U and checked all the usual sources; 217.com, Buzz, Emerald City Lounge, Chester Street… but can’t find anything on a drag queen brunch. Although I think they had a drag show at UI for Mom’s Weekend.
UPDATE: I just e-mailed the manager of Radio Maria. He/she e-mailed me back and said it was Emerald City. Going to give them a call right now…
…and I got their voice mail. I’ll check again when I go on break.
It’s Emerald City! Reservations are made for Sunday. Mammahomie will be so thrilled. She loves her some drag queen!
Looks like a weekly event.
