LGBT-owned restaurant uses drag queens to bring food orders to cars during coronavirus: 'It's just a way we can expose ourselves to them'

'I love drag queens. I think they're the sweetest.'

Many restaurants have found a way to stay afloat amid the coronavirus that's shuttered most businesses by offering delivery and to-go service — and at least one eatery is adding a bit of flair to the deal.

Fiddlehead Restaurant in Michigan City, Indiana, features drag queens each Saturday who wear masks and gloves and bring customers' food orders in bags to their vehicles, WLS-TV reported
