So apparently, most chain restaurants have a secret menu. Anyone ever ordered any of this stuff? I can probably count on my hands the amount of times I eat at chain restaurants annually but most times it's at a Chipotle and the quesarito sounds awesome. :awe:

What BS. With the exception of In-n-Out and Panera which seem to be using "secret" menus as a marketing tool all this stuff is totally informal. Some guy has a buddy that's working at McDonalds and goes in and asks if he can make him an 8 patty burger. He gets it, thinks its funny, gives it a name, and tells his friends about it. That doesn't make it a "secret menu item", it was just a favor.

I worked at a deli and we had a menu but if a customer came in and wanted some kind of weird sandwich, we would make it and figure out what to charge them. Some people wanted us to give them all the sandwich components in little platic baggies so they could make the sandwich at home. Weird. I guess we had a "secret" menu too. :rolleyes:

Not a chain, but we have a local restaurant that serves delicious steaks. I have always ordered the prime rib, though, which tastes even better, and has never been listed on their menu. I don't know why it isn't listed as it is always available, but I am grateful for its existence.

This is so old I should be telling you to get off my lawn.

Also, my Taco Bell refuses to make a cheeserito.

Alky loves ordering off the secret sex menu. "Animal Style" takes on a whole new meaning. I think that's what he keeps talking about with the raw dog stuff.

Most restaurants will be happy to sell you an ingredient. I'll usually just ask for an apple or banana if I'm not in the mood for a heavy dessert, for instance.

I'm quite partial to the McGangbang. I've never actually tried ordering one by name though. Just get the McDouble and a Junior Chicken and assemble it myself.

The Mc10:35 is the same thing with an egg McMuffin in place of a Jr/McChicken. Haven't tried it myself. Friends that have tried it say it's awful.

I've ordered a 7 layer nacho at taco bell once. It was ok, nothing to phone home about though.

That sounds really good actually. Although you should just toss it right into the toilet.

This is a tasty sandwich combination from McDonald's. Off the Dollar Menu you order one double cheeseburger and one Spicy McChicken sandwich. Spit the double cheeseburger between the two patties, and then put the entire Spicy McChicken sandwich inside the double cheeseburger.

Do you do the bolded part yourself?

Either way, sounds nasty.

I recently found out Cracker Barrel makes omelets by request only since none are on the menu. They are huge 3 egg monsters filled like a big burrito of anything you want inside. I usually also have lace potato cakes on the side, buttered country biscuits, a cup of OJ, coffee and ice water. I usually have enough to take home.

Its around $7.

Heh, I know.

Working at McDonalds was one of my first jobs. I worked there with my best friend. One day while working the burger station, and he working the fish station, he goes, "Dude, check it out." He puts the tartar sauce gun to his crotch, starts stroking it vigorously, then pulls the trigger to apply tartar sauce to the bun.

To this day, almost 40 years later, I still can't order a Filet-O-Fish from MickyD's.
