## Skywalker Grill opens at Lucas Museum
Skywalker Grill sits on the top floor of the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a project that cost over $1 billion to build.
## Menu features crowd-pleasers
The restaurant serves familiar favorites like spinach and artichoke dip and grilled salmon with in-house made ruffled potato chips.
## George Lucas and Mellody Hobson founded it
Legendary filmmaker George Lucas and business executive Mellody Hobson, his wife, founded the museum with the ethos that everyone should feel welcome.
## Dining experience is comfortable
The restaurant has velvet chairs with plush cushions and black marble tables spaced to ensure quiet conversations.
## Culinary director creates balanced menu
Diego Cardoso, the culinary director, developed a menu that nails the balance of high-low with chicken tenders and caviar-topped ranch.
## Wagyu beef pigs in a blanket
The pigs in a blanket are the best I've ever had, snappy Wagyu beef hot dogs wrapped in buttery puff pastry with everything-bagel seasoning.
## Skywalker Grill is popular
Since opening in late September, Skywalker Grill has remained a tough table to get with zero tables for two available for the rest of the year.
## Key takeaway

George Lucas's Skywalker Grill serves affordable, crowd-pleasing food in a museum setting without Star Wars themes.
