The Vogue chief takes a famously regimented approach to her life, and her lunch order is no exception.
This Is What Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour Eats for Lunch Every Day
Published on Apr. 30, 2025
Fashion icon Anna Wintour is a woman of consistency. She’s been the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for over 35 years and has maintained the same instantly recognizable look: a signature bob and oversized black sunglasses.
Does it come as any surprise, then, that Anna is known for ordering the same thing to eat for lunch every single day? In a now-viral TikTok video, restaurateur and celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian revealed exactly what Anna ordered when she came to his restaurant. Gird your loins!
What does Anna Wintour eat for lunch?
According to Geoffrey, Anna’s go-to lunch order was an off-menu, nearly rare hamburger patty served with a large side of Robuchon mashed potatoes, a particularly butter-intensive variation on the traditional recipe. To begin her meal, she’d reportedly have a cappuccino.
“She had sunglasses on, never took them off, even when she ate,” Geoffrey said. “She would obliterate the entire thing in less than 15 minutes.”
After Vogue’s offices relocated to 1 World Trade Center, it appears that Anna started a new lunch regimen. In Amy Odell’s biography Anna, the author reveals that Anna’s new go-to lunch order was steak paired with a Caprese salad (hold the tomatoes) from nearby steakhouse The Palm. We’re unsure what a Caprese salad without tomatoes entails—isn’t that just mozzarella and basil? But it’s hard to argue with genius.
If you’re curious, yes, this lunch order does align with what Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway) was forced to fetch for Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) in The Devil Wears Prada. In the 2006 blockbuster, Miranda’s lunch order was a steak. In the novel this movie was based on, the Runway editor required a raw ribeye paired with baked potatoes, smashed potatoes and “eight perfect stalks” of asparagus. Sounds familiar!
