Effy Explains Why There Was No Brunch At Past Big Gay Brunch Events, Promises Brunch In 2023

Effy’s Big Gay Brunch returns for its sixth edition on April 1 in Los Angeles as part of GCW The Collective. 

The event is certainly one of the biggest parties during WrestleMania, wrestlers represent the LGBTQ community with plenty of fan support, but is brunch served?

“The first Brunch, no, because it was COVID and I’m not serving food in COVID,” Effy told Mike & Righteous Reg on Indied. “The second Brunch, no, because it was in Florida and it was a mess. The third Brunch in Chicago, barely, because I picked up catering at McDonald’s. I said to Brett (Lauderdale), ‘If I have to get catering at McDonald’s at 1 AM, I’m going to be pissed.’ After WarGames, at 1 AM, catering at McDonald’s. We still had brunch. We ended up raising about $1000 for charity just through that breakfast food. When we finally came to Dallas, there was food served in the venue, which gave me hope, because I didn’t have to do the serving. In Chicago, we actually got someone to come in, Megan, who is a teacher in the Chicago area, to come in and do brunch with Bussy biscuits and all sorts of stuff. Now, at the Ukranian Cultural Center, they serve the best Mexican food in that whole area of the city and they are specifically going to be doing Mexican breakfast food, Mexican tacos and burritos for the brunch. As I did in Chicago, we are going to have Allie teach them how to make mimosas.”

Effy said the mimosas were a big hit in Chicago and he was glad that there was plenty of champagne and orange juice.
