RuPaul’s new Netflix series ‘AJ and the Queen,’ is a heartwarming, cross-country romp that’s as campy as it is sweet. She stars as Ruby Red, a seasoned queen who loses all her money and pride to a scamming ex, then tours the country with a troubled young stowaway.
RuPaul’s new Netflix series ‘AJ and the Queen’ premiered in Hollywood at the Egyptian Theater with a glitzy and glam red carpet extravaganza. And I do mean RED.

I’ll bet there isn’t a soul alive who knows there are “21 Bridges” running in and out of Manhattan.
Classy K-Town eatery Concerto is a beloved staple in the epicenter of LA’s culinary culture, doling out beautifully presented European x Korean fare in the shadows of towering high rises.
Revolt wrapped a weekend of bombast and brilliance with talks from leaders-of-the-new-school Issa Rae, Chadwick Boseman and “Queen and Slim” Director Melina Matsoukas.
Mom and dad, I know this is hard to hear, but I have to come out. I’ve never been to a dance music festival. Sure, I work in a nightclub and have seen electronic shows, but never have I dared step in the open air.
Day of the dead is fast-approaching, but famed brew co. Estrella Jalisco is giving us life!
Legends are made, not born, they say. In the case of Gran Centenario’s ‘Leyenda,’ well it was made before that phrase existed.
Before we get into the centuries-old history of this timeless Tequila, let’s talk about the taste.
It’s subtly but noticeably fruity. The raisins it’s made with stand out most, followed by apples and quince flavors, and are perfectly balanced by notes of wood and nutshell.
Despite its exceedingly pleasing and approachable flavor profile, there’s a noticeable bite right at the finish, a succulent, metaphorical scorpion’s tail that levels things out.
This tasty and tasteful blend was created in 1857 by Lazzaro Gallardo who, according to Gran Centenario reps, was the first Tequila Master Distiller in history. We love a pioneer.
The recipe calls for double-distilling followed by four years of aging in American oak barrels, a loving and meticulous process you can taste in each mature sip.
Big points for presentation here, too, as the bottle’s art-deco design complements the complex taste of this premium tequila. It’s available in New York, Miami and (thank god) LA, a boon for big city boozers.
At a recent tasting in LA’s Boyle Heights neighborhood, ‘Leyenda’ stood out against the brand’s other stout offerings – though the vanilla and almond taste of their reposado was unforgettable.
“We have reserves here that are aged for a long time and blended into each bottle,” said a rep for Gran Centario.
All boasted a scientifically precise balance of stout, wood flavors and smoothed sweetness. This a strong recommend for folks who like to take their time and let the spirits work their magic. Get into it.
Also, much love to the bartender who mixed and mastered two delicious cocktails, a sweet and crowd-pleasing reposado-based drink and a punchy and tart anejo-based concoction. Nothing like a well-made tequila buzz to send you off smiling.
There are few combos sweeter than a great rock show, complimentary cocktails and free food. Go ahead, try to name a better triad. I’ll wait!
