For Pride, Jack Daniel's is partnering with icons for a drag queen series that fuses two beloved Millennial things: mukbangs and the drag queen brunch. Drag Queen Mukbang is a four-episode content series starring Patrick Starrr, Gia Gunn, Eugene Lee Yang and Laganja Estranja, who invite viewers to join them for a virtual dining experience with food and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire. The experience is about much more than watching these drag queens eat, as the series explores the impact of COVID-19 on their lives and the LGBTQ+ community.
With bars and performance venues closed, drag queens and other self-employed entertainers have taken to performing digital drag shows, offering new ways for audiences to connect with their talents. With stay-at-home orders in place, each of the episodes was shot by the hosts, offering an intimate look into their lives.
