Playstation Theater, right in the heart of Times Square, played host to another go around of the best reality show on television, “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. The show is now entering its ninth season (minus the two All Stars season), and is prime to continue its journey in the pop culture stratosphere of bringing fierce competition, drama and so much more to the airwaves. I was front and center last night to chat with the girls on the new season, where they spilled some tea on finally making it onto the show, stiffest competition, and so much more.

The Top Twenty Best Queens in RuPaul’s Drag Race History
We all freaking love RuPaul’s Drag Race, and if you don’t you should be ashamed of yourself. The best reality show on television just finished an amazing 2016 with their 2nd edition of All Stars and a phenomenal 8th season that rebounded from a devastatingly boring 7th season. Earlier this year in March, I did a highly debated article on who I thought were the top 10 queens of all time on RuPaul’s Drag Race, however with the addition of the stellar season 8 queens and the re-emergence of the All Stars 2 cast, it has changed my mind on who currently sits not only in my top 10, but my top 20 as well.

My love for that has grown over the past couple of years as I have taken a ride into the journalism aspect of the industry, and have enjoyed every step of the way with each restaurant and chef I highlight. One person who has done an amazing job at both the culinary and journalism side is Gail Simmons, who has been a mainstay of Bravo’s “Top Chef” since its inception over a decade ago, as well as being a huge part of the best food magazine in the world, Food & Wine.
