I was hoping to channel Markle and Prince Harry during my visit, so I asked my waitress if she had any idea what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ate during their date. When she said she didn't know, I asked which dishes were the most popular with Lucky's famous clientele.
"They're just regular people who enjoy food," she told me with a laugh. "It's really about what you like."
I still had Cora's recommendation for the New York strip steak, so I ordered the $56 10-ounce. I also opted for the $15 mac and cheese but was torn between the French onion soup and one of the hash brown sides for my third dish.
My waitress told me that the $18 hash browns with Gruyère cheese was her favorite potato dish, so I decided to fully commit to my carb-y sides.
"It's gonna be a cheesy night," she told me as she left to put in my order and grab me a glass of red wine.
