Drag Brunch at Chaval: Halloween Edition
Overview
Portland’s famous Drag Brunch at Chaval returns for Halloween with four New England queens, immersive décor, themed brunch and party favors.
Portland, your favorite brunch is about to get haunted.
The famous Drag Brunch at Chaval is back, and this time the entire restaurant is joining the show. On Sunday, October 18, Chaval’s West End dining room will transform into an immersive Halloween brunch filled with spectacular New England drag, theatrical décor, costumed hospitality, surprise party favors, and a seasonal menu created especially for the occasion.
This is more than a drag show added to brunch. The room, the food, the service, and the audience all become part of the experience. Expect glamour, comedy, movement, conversation, and spontaneous moments with Famine the Supermodel, Mama Martini, Asia Deluxxe, and Chartreuse Money. All four queens will share hosting duties, perform, and engage with the room throughout the experience.

Meet the Queens
Famine the Supermodel
Maine-rooted and Chicago-seasoned, Famine the Supermodel returns to New England with a fashion-driven point of view, commanding stage presence and a talent for creating unforgettable visual moments. A performer and seamstress, Famine brings the polish of years spent in Chicago together with the thrill of a Maine homecoming.
Mama Martini
Mama Martini is Portland drag royalty with the warmth, glamour, and performance instincts of a queen who knows how to hold a room. Crowned Miss UMaine in 2018 and shaped by an extensive competitive dance background, Mama brings movement, heart, humor and unmistakable local star power to the Chaval floor.
Asia Deluxxe
Representing the New Hampshire and Boston drag scene, Asia Deluxxe brings a striking visual imagination and fresh New England energy to Chaval. Expect transformation, drama, and the delicious element of surprise that belongs at a Halloween table.
Chartreuse Money
Chartreuse Money is a full-time entertainer, producer, and choreographer with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance. Named the 2026 Pride Portland Grand Marshal and voted Portland’s Best Drag Personality in 2023, 2024 and 2026, Chartreuse brings charisma, comedy, dance and the rare ability to make an entire room feel part of the performance.
Together, these four queens will turn brunch into a living Halloween spectacle.
A Brunch Worth Dressing Up For
