I’d like to take a moment and point out that this is by far the weirdest restaurant we’ve ever been to, and we’re from New York City where we’re regularly served by drag queens named Frank.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker calls this the weirdest restaurant they have visited, then offers their New York experience as a point of comparison. The detail about being served by drag queens named Frank strengthens the personal benchmark. The joke presents the current restaurant as surpassing even that remembered experience.
