Back @thecountryclubneworleans like we never left… except now there’s a steak so good you can cut it with a plastic fork and knife??? yeah. we handled that immediately. 🥩🥂👙 paired it with my forever favorite boudin balls + a little poolside moment and suddenly rejoining feels like the best decision we’ve made all year. #NewOrleansEats #PoolsideVibes

[nola] Drag brunch was so fun, I went twice this month! 😝 @lovehamptonwater invited me out to a special event last weekend to enjoy @thecountryclubneworleans’s iconic drag brunch while sampling some @hamptonwater sparkling rosé 🥂 . The queens are amazing as always, but the food deserves a special shoutout too! The flavors are so good, and the menu incorporates a ton of local Louisiana ingredients like crabmeat, shrimp, tasso, and strawberries 😋 Don’t pass on the desserts either! They have Dubai chocolate 🍫 . PS—did you know that for every @lovehamptonwater event you attend, you collect a beautiful sparkly pink bracelet? You can eventually trade up your stack for even more pieces of jewelry! 💖 Thank you @lovehamptonwater and @thecountryclubneworleans for having me 💕 . Featured: @hamptonwater bubbly 🥂 @thecountryclubneworleans truffle mac & cheese 🧀 boudin boulettes 🧆 shrimp & grits 🦐 pork chop & eggs w/ tasso potato hash 🥩 browned butter financier w/ poached peaches & cherries 🧁 Dubai chocolate sundae 🍨

📍The Country Club @thecountryclubneworleans @lovehamptonwater … 🍷 Hampton Water Rosé 🍳 Crabcake & Egg 🍤 Shrimp & Grits 🍫🍨 Dubai Chocolate Sundae … What can I say…my first drag brunch at The Country Club, powered by Hampton Water Rosé, was a glittery fever dream in the best way. The Crabcake & Egg was bougie Benedict, the Shrimp & Grits brought the sass, and the Dubai Chocolate Sundae? Richer than a Real Housewife. The dancers slayed, the rosé flowed—brunch has never been this fabulous. #belongsonyelp #eatingfortheinsta #eatingnola #eattheworks #feast #feastagram #food #foodblogger #foodie #foodgasm #foodpics #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodporn #instafood #neworleans #neworleansfood #neworleansfoodies #neworleanslife #nola #onlylouisiana #visitneworleans #yelp #yelpnola

Mac and cheese truffle was great! But the food was not it. You’re definitely paying for the experience. I do wish the drag show had more of a comedy element? Or some light reading/roasting? No shade to the queens, they were lovely. It just felt like they were appealing to a specific audience.

It was a fabulous experience! They were so helpful in getting us in to the building in the rain with a guest in our party in a wheelchair. Our server Hooper was clear in what was happening and going to happen so we were prepared. Our food was great and he was very responsive when we needed anything. The performers were fun and great entertainers! The music was loud when the performers were in the room, but reasonable when they weren’t. It was a great time!!
