I am surprised she has made it this long. When did she finally open? They parked 9000 vehicles in front of it for 9000 days while preparing to open.

One update for this - the FBI looking into alleged threats.

WBRZ first reported on the backlash the restaurant was facing because of the drag show last week. Since then, Smith Early says she has received several phone calls and direct messages from people who are against the brunch.


Interestingly enough, the event is sold out completely.

The business has been very successful, but that all changed when a flier came out roughly a month ago promoting an upcoming drag brunch at the restaurant.


bullshite. That place is a shithole and is kind of disgusting on the inside. Drag brunches should be the least of their worries.

Agree. Problem for them is if people follow your advise. Majority of people don't patronize their business. They go out of business. It was a foolish business move. And for what?

Update on this story. This news will upset some people, and it will please others.

The restaurant is closing down.

This should be no surprise to anyone. By all accounts the place was struggling before her drag brunch. Some people can prepare great food but most just aren’t made for the restaurant business.

The restaurant business is tough enough as it is don't go out of your way to alienate a large portion of your guests.

frick em. Their last ditch effort to save their business didn’t work. Too bad. Not the first business to go belly up but shame on them for trying to turn this into something it isn’t: a result of their drag show. It’s a result of poor decision making.

Politics and hot button issues should be avoided. People go in to dine and enjoy themselves. Not to get average food and a political rally

Drag strip shite is out of control. Go to a strip club and do that shite. Democrats are some nasty fricks.
