Neil Patrick Harris and Bianca Del Rio team up to host a new show on Hulu called Drag Me to Dinner. The show will feature 20 pairs of drag legends competing against each other in a dinner party format. Each week, two duos will go head-to-head, with Bianca Del Rio and Neil Patrick Harris alongside their judges judging in the categories of food and drink, design and decor, and entertainment and overall vibe.
The line-up includes a range of legendary queens and San Francisco icons. Some of the queens competing in Drag Me to Dinner are Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme, Alaska, Willam, Heidi N Closet, Jaida Essence Hall, and more. The show also features fellow alumni Ginger Minj, Nina West, Detox, Raja, Trinity the Tuck, Bebe Zahara Benet, and others.
One particularly poignant episode features Heklina and Peaches Christ competing, with Heklina, the San Francisco drag legend, having passed away in April.
In the world of pop culture, RuPaul’s Drag Race is no longer the only mainstream reality competition show featuring drag queens. Shows like Legendary and Queen of the Universe have carved out their own niche in the media landscape, and mainstream shows like Dancing With the Stars and Dancing on Ice have welcomed drag performers with open arms.
Drag Me to Dinner promises to be a “riotous, format-busting, fourth-wall-breaking, unapologetic sendup” of traditional competition shows. The show will premiere on Hulu on May 31, and it’s sure to be a hit with fans of drag and competition shows alike.
