Kathy Hilton confirms husband Rick’s favorite chicken dish at Cheesecake Factory after viral video mystery

Mystery solved!

Kathy Hilton confirmed husband Rick Hilton’s favorite chicken dish at the Cheesecake Factory after a viral interview with Page Six raised questions among fans.  

“There is a pasta with chicken, there’s a jambalaya with chicken and shrimp — but Rick likes the buffalo chicken wings,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 65, exclusively told Page Six Wednesday night during a party celebrating her Smirnoff Ice Smash Tea campaign in Los Angeles.

“There’s another chicken dish he likes. There’s a few that he loves,” she continued. “He likes the chicken.”

Kathy first unfurled her passion for the Cheesecake Factory in a January chat with Page Six, during which she revealed that she and Rick, 68, enjoy weekly date nights at the popular chain restaurant. 

“He really likes the chicken. And then also the one that you dip with the sauce,” she said of her spouse’s go-to dishes at the time, noting that “all their food is good.” 

While this reporter assumed that Kathy was referring to the Cheesecake Factory’s famous chicken fettuccine alfredo — and said as much on camera — social media users railed against this supposition, demanding the truth in comment sections.

“She wasn’t about to say chicken alfredo at all,” someone wrote via TikTok, while another added, “She agreed with you on the Alfredo just to be nice. Rick doesn’t care about the Alfredo.”

One individual said they could “100% guarantee she didn’t” mean to suggest that Rick would ever order the chicken fettuccine alfredo.

Meanwhile, many others guessed which chicken offering the real estate tycoon cherished most as others expressed sheer frustration at the nebulousness of Kathy’s exchange with Page Six. 

“She was obviously talking about the Chicken Madeira,” one person stated.

Another chimed in, “lol we are all trying to figure out what chicken dish rick likes.”

With the case finally cracked, the public can enjoy Kathy’s most recent musings on the Cheesecake Factory after her latest outing at the eatery with Rick. 

“You’re going to laugh. Last night, we go to the Cheesecake Factory,” she said, recalling their May 7 date. “We walked in there and they gave us a booth in the back and I couldn’t see because the light was dim. I couldn’t tell if it was a waiter I was looking at or a customer because the light and the bathrooms are back there, too.”

But that’s beside the point, Kathy said. 

“Anyway, my burger came out raw and … I said, ‘Can you please take this back?’ So then he brings it back and then it doesn’t have the bun,” she elaborated with a giggle. “So I’m like, ‘Can I have the bun?’ I felt like the biggest pest!”

On the bright side, she indulged in two delicious desserts. 

“I tried the peanut butter cheesecake,” she shared. “And the salted caramel [cheesecake], I had half a slice and brought the rest home.”

The Hiltons — who tied the knot in November 1979 — also ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an apPetizer, she told Page Six, which was new for the couple. 

“We actually tried something new this time. We started with the little mushrooms,” Kathy said before quipping, “But you know what? Enough about them! They didn’t even give me a free piece of food!”

The socialite’s original remarks to Page Six about the Cheesecake Factory racked up hundreds of thousands of views online, delighting viewers with her candor about the budget-friendly dining establishment. 

“It’s local, it’s right there and fresh and busy all the time,” the “Paris in Love” matriarch said in January, raving over its busy atmosphere in particular. 

“Actually, you walk in there and there are people. We love that! We don’t want to sit in a restaurant with nobody in the room.”
