Lucky’s Cafe on Starkweather Avenue in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood has been one of the city’s most beloved brunch destinations since Heather Haviland opened it in 2002, building a menu around seasonal local ingredients and scratch-made breakfast and lunch plates in a neighborhood that was already becoming one of Cleveland’s most interesting food corridors. It appeared in Season 7, Episode 8 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Barbequed, Baked and Brined,” which aired October 12, 2009. Guy Fieri found a scratch kitchen doing creative American cafe food in a setting that earns the wait it regularly generates on weekend mornings.
