The Queen of Pride competition has already kicked off and runs through June 16, 2021. During this time, fans can order a Trixie Mattel Price Burrito, Kim Chi Pride Bowl, or the Gottmik Pride Salad through the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com. 1$ from each entrée sold will benefit the LGBTQIA+ charity of the drag queen's choice. At the end of the competition period, the drag star with the most orders will win the Queen of Pride competition and get an additional $10,000 to donate to their charity.
