Format

[edit]

Drag artists from across United States pair into teams to compete for The Glorious Golden Grater. Each episode has a broad theme, and teams have 90 minutes to prepare to host a theme party. Party presentations are judged in three categories: food & drink, design & décor, and entertainment & overall vibe. Each team benefits from Handy Helpers during the competition. Winners of a trivia question receive advice from resident chef David Burtka, while the other team receives "help" from Burtka's "aunt," Sue Chef.
