How to Eat Like a Vegan Drag Queen

At 61, legendary drag queen Jackie Beat has become an outspoken vegan advocate since switching to a plant-based diet in 2023. Known for her 30-year-plus career in the world of drag, Jackie shares her favorite vegan snacks, kitchen must-haves, social media favorites, and top vegan restaurants in Los Angeles. Some of her go-to snacks include vegan cheeseless puffs, vegan ice cream snack bites, and gluten-free vegan animal crackers. She also enjoys plant-based fish-style fillets, frozen Thai green curry, and nutritional yeast in her kitchen.

Jackie recommends following social media accounts that are passionate about veganism, such as @veganhackspod, @vegantraplord_, and @vegan_punks. In Los Angeles, she loves the Spicy Mint Salad at My Vegan and the gluten-free steak quesadilla at Something Vegan. Her idea of a good time includes indulging in a vegan spin on a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich served with tater tots at Kevin Hart's vegan chain Hart House.
