40 Iconic Drag Queens Compete to Throw the Best Dinner Party in Hulu's Newest Reality Show

Everyone can agree that drag queens throw the best parties. So it’s about time for a reality show about who throws the best dinner party, pitting pairs of drag queens against each other. Luckily, Hulu has delivered thanks to its newest reality series, Drag Me to Dinner. Hosted by the iconic Murray Hill, the judges attend 20 extravagant dinner parties.

Neil Patrick Harris, Bianca Del Rio, head judge Haneefah Wood, and food expert David Burtka will hopefully be death-drop dancing on the floor of these parties. The parties are judged on Food & Drink, Design & Decor, and Entertainment & Overall Vibe. With 40 contestants, 20 pairs compete throughout 10 episodes, so who are all the Drag Me to Dinner contestants?

RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme team up after touring their holiday spectacular, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show. Jinkx is the first-ever winner of RuPaul’s first all-winner season, and DeLa holds the record for best most consecutive challenges won. They take on “Best Friends” Jackie Beat and Sherry Vine, who have worked together onstage for over 25 years.

Two-time RuPaul’s competitor and one-time winner Trinity the Tuck teams up with America’s first-ever Drag superstar BeBe Zahara Benet. The duo is up against theatrical queens Thorgy Thor, a two-time RuPaul’s competitor, and Kiki Ball-Change, Broadway drag royalty.

Episode 3 is all in the family. Drag mother and daughter duo Alexis Mateo and “RuGirl” Vanessa Vanjie Mateo competed on RuPaul’s Drag Race before becoming dinner party-serving icons. Marti Gould Cummings and Peachez Iman Cummings are known for the literal “hot messes” they served as a team on Worst Cooks in America.

RuPaul’s Season 3 winner Raja and All Stars 2 runner-up Detox are coming together to make madness. The longtime besties take on another pair of lifelong friends, RuPaul’s competitors Morgan McMichaels and Mayhem Miller.

Alaska and William first teamed up to host Race Chaser, A Drag Race Podcast. They competed on RuPaul’s Drag Race and later hosted the Drag Is Good fundraiser to support the ACLU’s Drag Defense Fund. They take on All Stars partners Latrice Royal and Manila Luzon, who now host the podcast The Chop.

2008 “Entertainer of the Year” and RuPaul’s Drag Race competitor Nina West joins forces with three-time RuPaul competitor Ginger Minj. They take on Darienne Lake and Mrs. Kasha Davis, both contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8. The latter duo frequently performs with fellow alum Pandora Boxx, so we expect extravagant parties.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 13 winner Symone and Season 12 runner-up Gigi Goode are partnering up. As drag sisters, they have close ties to the House of Avalon. But can they beat NYC’s fiercest queens, Rhea Litré and Jasmine Rice LaBeija?

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 besties Naomi Smalls and Kim Chi have built their empire. Between their history-making first joint confessional to their makeup line KimChi Chic Beauty, their competitors should be concerned. Hall & Closet podcast hosts Heidi N Closet and Jaida Essence Halla are taking their comedy chops to the dinner party scene.

Nailed It winner Selma Nilla teams up with fellow NYC drag queen Chelsea Piers after performing together for years. They face The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula competitor Merrie Cherry, who teams up with daily drag performer Pixie Aventura.

Dragula contestants Meatball and Biqtch Puddin’ team up again for Drag Me to Dinner’s final episode. They face off against Heklina and Peaches Christ, who have a long history of their own. Sadly, Heklina passed away on April 3, 2023. Drag Me to Dinner marks her final on-screen performance, which she does alongside best friend Peaches Christ, who co-starred with her in a Mommie Queerest show.

Who will win the best dinner party each week? Honestly, all we want to do is eat, drink, and dance our faces off at every party!

Drag Me to Dinner Season 1 is now available to stream on Hulu.
