Where will Luscious Lola bring her schtick now?
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.  Advance/SILive.com readers who tried making reservations for Phunky Elephants once popular Sunday brunch discovered the restaurant has been closed. Seems so sudden, lamented one of several loyalists to the venue, which became home to Luscious Lola. The drag queen-illusionists bingo over brunch was a big draw to the Rosebank restaurant. For me The Phunky Elephant Gastropub was a great place to be. Im going to miss being there. It was always a lot of fun and the food was delicious. Ill miss seeing my regulars, my fans and meeting new people, gushed Luscious Lola. In the meantime, former Phunky owner Jerry Agro has moved onto a project in Monmouth County. He is a working partner at Hamburger Pattys, a fast-casual burger joint with a focus on fresh, Angus beef burgers served on toasted brioche buns. Luscious Lola of New Springville will have a new home for her gig on Staten Island. (Courtesy of Luscious Lola)  He touted, We also have a pretty famous buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and, of course, we also serve the crowd-pleasing Mac & Cheese Spring Rolls, in addition to a number of other sides and appetizers. The spring rolls were among the signature items at Phunky Elephant. Agro talked up Hamburger Pattys beer-battered fried pickles, beer-battered onion rings, cheddar-stuffed fried jalapeos and Hamburger Pattys traditional hand-cut potato fries and crispy Tater Tots.  Agro said, We were recently named by 94.3 FM The Point as one of the Best Burger joints in Monmouth County. We just had our second year anniversary and with very humbling reviews and a great following, we have become a staple in the charming town of Keyport, New Jersey.  And Luscious Lola also journeys down a new restaurant route. Her new homes now include Cargo Cafe in St. George. Inaugural shows there will be Sunday, June 27 and Sunday July 18 starting at 11:30 a.m. She also will appear at The G.O.A.T. on Saturday June 26 at 1 p.m. and Z-Two in Charleston on Friday, July 9th at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 1 at noon and Saturday, Aug. 28 at 6 p.m.  Said Luscious Lola, A lot of people have been asking for me because theyre looking to get out more after a year of being home.
