Lucky Blue Smith has a confession to make on behalf of his wife, Nara Smith. “Fun fact. When Nara is filming her videos—the entire side of the kitchen that is out of the frame is full of dishes [and] crusted dough that I have to soak for five hours,” he says, laughing. The model would know…because he’s the one who cleans it up. “I’m so grateful,” she says back, with a smile.
In the latest video for Vogue’s Now Serving series, where celebrities make their signature dishes on camera, the Smiths give us the rundown on how to make a crispy chicken sandwich and rosemary mint lemonade. True to their TikTok reputation, every element—including the brioche buns—is made from scratch. (And may soon be homegrown: the couple shares that they’ve started cultivating a garden at their new Connecticut home. “We just bought a house—so hopefully next spring,” says Nara.)
The couple playfully banters throughout: like when Nara makes fun of Lucky for his obsession with drinking Brillo pickle juice. (“There’s no shame in it!” he counters.) Or when the couple tells a story about what happened when Lucky tried to cook more around the house. “We just had a baby a year ago. He told me he would cook for me,” Nara says. “One day, I wake up from my nap at four to the smell of intense burning.” Lucky, sheepish, gives a shrug, before Nara continues: “The smoke alarm went off, the baby woke up!”
