As Chappell Roan Comes Home, a Weekend With Queer Kansas City | Condé Nast Traveler

"At Hamburger Mary's I joined a hot, anticipatory crowd for the weekly charity drag bingo and watched longtime drag matriarch Melinda Ryder command the room with sly charisma; I ordered the Fried Twinks (two deep-fried Twinkies with whipped cream and chocolate sauce), enjoyed the raucous tradition of winners taking victory laps while losers pelted them with crumpled cards, and came away with a clear sense that this iconic drag bar—one that long predates Roan—is a beloved, intergenerational hub where families and longtime locals come for unabashed fun." - Chris Ritter
