Did you know Home Restaurant has Burlesque every Saturday night?! I went with a friend for a late dinner of red velvet pancakes, my favorite, and saw they were getting ready for a show so we stayed. I am so glad we did!

The host was this wild drag queen with huge hair and giant, platform shoes I would totally wear. In between dancers she would work the crowd and, honestly, I haven't laughed that hard in a hot minute.

The Burlesque dancers were gorgeous, 100% female, had intricate themed costumes, and were a pleasure to watch, just the right shade of sexy without being sleazy. Men, obviously, and women would both be comfortable at this show.

My favorite part was the contests where host, Vicky Vox, would wrangle audience members onto the stage and pit them against one another in the "Bootyshaking Contest" and the "Burlesque Contest", complete with loaner wigs and boas. The contestants in the Burlesque off, at least the night I was there, were both dudes! The crowd went nuts.

There was a bachelorette party there that got all kinds of "special" attention. I've decided to have my boyfriend's birthday party there. If you're having a special event, let the staff know, they will let Vicky know and it's ON! Also, make reservations. I was there on a rainy night with one other person, and was lucky to get a table.

I've always loved the food and atmosphere at Home, it's practically an institution in Silver Lake, and this show took it to the next level. I highly recommend the Burlesque show for something different and really fun to do on a Saturday night.
