What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives sent Guy Fieri out for takeout during the pandemic, and his order from Lucky's Café centered on the restaurant's gourmet mac and cheese, a dish the Tremont brunch spot built alongside its Reuben sandwich and biscuits and gravy. Lucky's Café opened in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland in 2005 as a farm-to-table breakfast and brunch counter using regional Ohio ingredients, and the show had first visited the café in a 2009 episode for its baked goods. On 2026-09-08, Lucky's Café's own website (luckyscafe.com) returned HTTP 200 with a live online-ordering widget and a current brunch menu, and its Google Places listing reflected the same address at 777 Starkweather Ave. The site's homepage still promotes its Farmers & Partners page and its Save The Bees and Support St. Theodosius community initiatives.
