"Drag Queen Brunch" (Rainbow Road Press, 2019) features gorgeous colorful photography by Sam Hanna of dishes (both ladies and recipes) in some of New Orleans's most iconic restaurants and courtyards. With every turn of the page, "Drag Queen Brunch" brings readers to the next stop of an unforgettable time with Tooker and a bevy of rollicking drag queens.

A portion of the proceeds from "Drag Queen Brunch" beneft Crescent Care, a healthcare initiative established by the NO/AIDS Task Force and the Lazarus House.
