00:00Tongue-tied.
00:03Today, we're at Crispy Pork Gang in the center of Hollywood.
00:08This place is a staple of LA's Thai town,
00:11serving authentic Thai food around the clock.
00:16Today's guest is the reigning champion of Drag Race,
00:20the Queen of Queens, holder of the most legendary meet
00:25and greet of all times, Miss Sasha Kovi.
00:29I'm so happy that you're here.
00:30Thank you so much.
00:31I'm such a huge fan of yours.
00:32Seeing that you are from Hawaii,
00:35how experienced are you with Thai food?
00:38I like a good larb.
00:39Oh.
00:40I like a larb.
00:41I think you know a lot more food than you actually think.
00:45I love a good tom kha.
00:46Tom kha.
00:47That's one of my favorites.
00:48It's really good for the stomach.
00:49I'm a big old pothead,
00:50so I will accidentally press extra spicy or hot
00:54instead of medium or mild.
00:55I don't think I enjoy it, so this is gonna be fun.
01:00I'll open the doors, okay?
01:01Here's how this works.
01:02You'll be eating and playing games
01:04for a maximum of 10 points.
01:06Each dish is worth one point,
01:08and you must take at least three bites
01:10to get one of those points.
01:12Okay.
01:13You can also win points by playing games.
01:15How many points you get is up to me.
01:18Me!
01:21We have a tray of relief.
01:25But don't forget, if you take anything from there,
01:28points will be deducted off your final score.
01:29Really?
01:30Mm-hmm.
01:31Are you ready to get tongue-tied?
01:33This is rigged.
01:35It is not, I swear!
01:37Oh, okay.
01:42This dish is sauteed napa.
01:44The name comes from napa cabbages,
01:47a great thing to start off your meal with
01:49that's filled with cabbage and vitamins
01:51and is loaded with fiber, which will help you later.
01:56Mm, wonderful.
01:57Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
01:59It's nice.
02:00This is nice.
02:00Thank you for easing me in.
02:02Of course.
02:03Okay, we're gonna start things off
02:04with a simple game of mai or chai.
02:08In Thai language, mai means no.
02:11And chai means yes.
02:13So we're gonna ask you a yes or no question,
02:15and you'll practice your Thai by answering either...
02:20Mai.
02:21Or...
02:22Chai.
02:23Yay!
02:25Very good.
02:26First question, does it feel good to be on top?
02:28Chai.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Are you proud of being the first winner from Hawaii?
02:32Chai.
02:33Yes.
02:34Is it true you grew up with Jehovah's Witness?
02:36Chai?
02:37I think I was like 13 or 14 when I told my parents,
02:40I'm like, I'm not going, these people are hypocrites.
02:42And they couldn't really say anything.
02:43They're like, all right, we get it.
02:45Or maybe they were just like ashamed
02:47to have their flamboyant child
02:48come with them to church anymore.
02:50Chai.
02:51Do you consider yourself a Pinterest user?
02:55Chai.
02:56I'm a huge Pinterest boarder.
02:58Do you love neck corsets?
03:01Oh, chai, chai, chai, chai, chai tea.
03:03How many neck corsets do you own?
03:05I mean, in drag, I like to feel choked.
03:07Did you really read George Santos?
03:10Mai.
03:11I think George Santos reads himself very well.
03:14That part.
03:15That for wig, honey.
03:16That part.
03:17And that was mai or chai.
03:19Are you ready for the next course?
03:20Next course.
03:22Next course.
03:23Oh, you're enjoying that for real.
03:24I am, I love it.
03:25You already got the point.
03:30And now we have the yum paduk foo,
03:32which is a catfish salad.
03:36The fluffy catfish salad.
03:38This dish has red onions, cashews, and mangoes.
03:41The catfish meat is deep fried,
03:44which causes it to puff up.
03:46And that's why we call it a fluffy catfish.
03:52I definitely taste the heat.
03:54Very bright.
03:55Very bright.
03:56That's the flavor profile.
03:58Ooh.
04:00It's at the end.
04:01Is it the spice or is it maybe your neck corset?
04:04I think it's both.
04:05Okay.
04:08Sasha, it was easy to predict your season 15 win,
04:12but how good are you at the art of prediction?
04:15I'm going to give you the beginning of an internet search
04:19and you'll have to tell me what predictive text
04:22comes up in the search bar.
04:24Okay.
04:24Okay, cool.
04:25Are you ready?
04:26Yes.

04:54If you enter the phrase, drag legend,
04:56which of these appears?
04:58Of Zelda, Divine, or Panjina heels?

05:08I really love you, but it is Divine.
05:10If you enter, does Thai food make you, what appears?
05:14A, smarter, B, hotter, or C, fart?
05:21C, fart.
05:22Correct.
05:23If you enter the phrase, why is there a dot, dot, dot,
05:28what appears?
05:28Oh my God.
05:29Is it belly button, gender pay gap, or an earth?
05:34Ooh, let's go belly button.
05:36Incorrect.
05:37It is gender pay gap.
05:39Oh, thank goodness.

06:53because actually all three comes up.
06:56Are you serious?
06:56Very serious.
06:57I don't understand why drag would make you poop, though.
06:59I get that.
07:01You've seen some of the girls.
07:02Oh!
07:03It's shit.
07:04Bring on the next dish.
07:05Gird your loins.
07:10This is the red curry chicken, or in Thai,
07:12gang dang gan.
07:15The base of this red curry is coconut milk
07:18mixed in with a lot of peppers and chili paste.
07:23It is the lesser known curry cousin
07:25of the green curry and the yellow curry,
07:28but this one is not as popular because of the color.
07:32The red is getting red.
07:36Just, mm, there it is.
07:46Ah.
07:46Here we are.
07:48Ooh.
07:49My ears have popped.
07:50Do you feel it traveling down?
07:51Because that's where the pain is coming from.
07:53Well, you know, for us, it stops right where the corset.
07:55With the corset, yeah.
07:56So it's just kind of bouncing, like pong, right here.
07:59So, Sasha, you're the first champion
08:01from the state of Hawaii.
08:02You even got a shout out from Jill Tokuda in Congress.
08:07Hawaiian culture is fascinating,
08:10so please explain these things.
08:12Okay, let's do it.
08:14Poi.
08:14Poi.
08:15Poi is a root vegetable.
08:18It's like a potato, so it's a starch.
08:20Okay.
08:21Taro.
08:22I love taro.
08:22It's the same thing.
08:23I love it.
08:24Shaved ice.
08:25Shaved ice.
08:26Shaved ice.
08:27I love it.
08:28Shaved ice.
08:29Why is it shaved?
08:30I know, we just, like, we want to accept all types of ice.
08:34Yes.
08:35In all forms.
08:36It's like a snow cone.
08:37Okay.
08:38It's a snow cone.
08:39Same thing.
08:40We like to put, like, little boba,
08:41or ice cream, or azuki bean.
08:44Condensed milk.
08:45Condensed milk.
08:46Harder condensed milk.
08:47Lava tubes.
08:49Lava tubes are going on in my intestines right now.
08:53No.
08:54They're these tubes that are left after lava flows.
08:57So there's, like, these little tunnels
08:59that can go into the lava.
09:00Maoka versus Makai.
09:02Maoka is the mountains.
09:04Okay.
09:05And Makai is the ocean.
09:07Beautiful.
09:07Yes.
09:08So I lived in between them both.
09:10Like, my backyard, you could see the mountains.
09:12Okay.
09:13And across the street was the ocean.
09:16What is mahu?
09:16Oh, mahu.
09:18Us.
09:19Me, you.
09:19Actually, it was used as, like, a derogatory term.
09:22Like, you know how in the 80s and 90s,
09:24oh, that's so gay.
09:25Got it.
09:27They'd be like, oh, you're so mahu.
09:28Okay.
09:29So they would make fun of you,
09:29but really just kind of seeing who you are as a kid.
09:32Okay.
09:33And I feel like how we've taken back the word queer
09:35is how we've all talked about just taking back
09:38the word mahu because in Hawaiian language,
09:41mahu is, it's saying trans.
09:44And then it kind of got grouped where we're all gay.
09:46So we're all mahu.
09:47So it would be like a gay person and a trans person
09:51would all be under this mahu umbrella.
09:54We're going to call for the next dish right now.
09:57Oh, gosh.
10:03Here comes the next dish.
10:04Ooh.
10:05Hot pet hoi lai,
10:06which means stir fried hot baby clams.
10:12This dish is the spicy baby clams.
10:16This dish is stir fried with dried chili oils
10:19and it's seasoned to the gods.
10:21We call it baby clams because it's small
10:24and sweet like a baby.
10:26Are you ready for this?
10:28Ready.
10:28Cheers.
10:34How is it?
10:35It's, it's, it's there.
10:36It's getting there.
10:37Mm-hmm.
10:40Yeah.
10:42I have to do two more bites of this.
10:43Yes, you do.
10:44Since you are the reigning queen of drag,
10:47but you're also the reigning queen of Sasha's,
10:49let's see how well you know the other Sashas

12:50Do you think you need the tray of relief yet?
12:55Maybe for the second and third bite.
12:59Oh my God, my tongue is burning.
13:01Why?
13:04Okay, I'm feeling a good eight and a half now.
13:07And you?
13:09I'm feeling like a fully erect nine.
