It’s dinner time and the hosts with the most are drag performers in the upcoming reality competition Drag Me to Dinner

It’s not a party unless there’s a drag artist involved. The new Hulu competition series Drag Me to Dinner highlights that as 40 drag performers put together unforgettable dinner parties. Actors Neil Patrick Harris and Haneefah Wood, along with RuPaul’s Drag Race season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio, will serve as judges looking for the ultimate dinner party. They’ll be joined by food expert and husband to Harris, David Burtka, and drag artist Murray Hill, who will host. Harris and Burtka will also serve as producers on the show.

Over 10 episodes, this crew will witness drag performers compete in pairs to throw a fabulous dinner party, each with a different theme that Burtka will introduce every week. The drag performers will compete in the following categories: Food & Drink, Design & Decor, and Entertainment & Overall Vibe. The judges will deliberate and ultimately declare one winner who will leave with the coveted prize, the Glorious Golden Grater.
