  • I work at McDonald's part-time, and someone should really do some fact checking. For example, 80% of McDonald's are franchised and almost none of them in the south (where I work) offer gravy. Also, making the Big Mac with Quarter Pounder meat would INCREASE the cost and calories. Big Macs are made with 1/8 lb patties and QPers are made with 1/4 lb. Also, you can't get anything SMOTHERED in Mac Sauce, you can order a side of fries with a side of Mac Sauce, but anyone who operates a restaurant and knows anything about food cost would stop any worker from SMOTHERING FF. As for the Neopolitan Shake, any shake you order from McDonald's is half vanilla, half whatever flavor you order, so it's nothing special. I don't know many McDonald's with Chocolate ice cream. Again, most of these things are not true, or just common sense, as McDonald's does food inventory atleast once a week and would not have these ingredients just laying around, that's called waste and cuts into profit.

  • Not sure if you guys know it or not, but a Big Mac is actually made with the small patties, the Quarter Pound patties are larger. So it would be with more calories and meat, not less.

  • About the BK "Secret menu. You is wrong. The Veggie Whopper has no meat. The sandwich you describe is a regular menu item called the BK Veggie The "Suicide Burger" is the BK Quad Stacker, another regular sandwich The Mustard Whopper, Rodeo Burger, Chicken Club and Ham and Cheese sandwich are all regional menu items and are sold where BK franchises have agreed to sell them. Other regional sandwiches include chicken Parmesan, chicken cordon bleu, chicken deluxe (mayo lettuce tomato and cheese) and a country pork sandwich. You just need to look this up on Wikipedia or BK's website

  • Just to correct--the Veggie Whopper at Burger King does NOT have a veggie patty--they simply remove the beef patty from a Whopper and serve you a delicious lettuce sandwich instead. Yuck. Vegetarians should chose the BK Veggie instead, which can come as a combo with fries and a drink if you ask!

  • At least in my neck of the woods (upper midwest), Dairy Queen's Peanut Buster Parfait is a regular menu item. I should know, it's my favorite. Try it with pecans substituted for the peanuts - it's amazing.

  • plenty of these items are on the menus. BK's Rodeo Cheeseburger, Dunkin Donuts' "Turbo" coffee, and Wendy's Big Bacon Classic and Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe come to mind immediately.

  • Your McDonald's made the Grilled cheese wrong.. the bun should be inside out.. (the inside of the bun grills better because it's not coated)

  • Just a few starbucks corrections.... I have worked at starbucks 3 years at several different locations and I have never heard chocolate frapuccino base, almond syrups was discontinued probably a year and a half to two years ago and the Zebra mocha is also know as a marble mocha.

  • Sadly, we can't get the Cheesy Gordita Crunch year-round at my local Taco Bell. They do have everything needed to make it, but usually refuse unless it's officially available.

  • I don't think you can order the "poor man's latte" at most Starbucks stores anymore, as they've added the "double shot" to the menu, which is the same thing over ice. It is cheaper, but most stores won't let you order this. And another name (the official one) for the zebra mocha is a marble mocha macchiato. It's white chocolate on the bottom, espresso/milk and the darker chocolate drizzled on top. I don't think I've ever heard of a red tux mocha... people usually just tell us that's what they want, without using that name for it.

  • Uh, was anyone here seriously thinking that the Secret Menu Items were going to be healthy? I am headed for Long John Silvers for my side o'crumbs. Mmmm! Greasy bits of breading to top my salad. Oh hell, why not stop there before heading to Mickey D's so I can top my Monster Mac with greasy crumbs?

  • I have always faithfully ordered the Pizza Sub from Subway, from back when it was on the menu. I just kept ordering it, and while some people have been confused, some have gotten it. I once had a guy tell me that they "didn't make that anymore", so I asked for a custom sub, on Italian, with pepperoni, marinara, and cheese only. The look on his face once he had finished making it was priceless. :D

  • Enchiritos are on the menu at Taco Bells in Oregon, I get them all the time. THE BEST. One thing most people don't know about is the canadian bacon and cheese "burger" you can get at Burgerville. Uses their special sauce. My favorite fast food item of all time!

  • As someone who is a wage-slave of the Pippi Longstocking clone and has been for quite a long time, I can definitely say the author here Did Not Do The Research on #23. I've never heard of the Grand Slam (at least in a Wendy's context as opposed to the Denny's item by the same name)..that'd be a Triple with an Extra Patty (and waaay too much meat in any case. People have enough trouble fitting a Triple into their mouths as it is). I've never heard of the Barnyard, either--though I can think of a couple of my co-workers who'd like it, though I've never gotten into the 'beef and chicken on the same sandwich' thing. Big Bacon Classic...that's about the only one that even comes close to being 'secret', as it hasn't been off the menu that long, and is still in the register system. Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe...hmmm. I can't remember offhand if we stopped listing it as a separate item or not, since all it is is a 'Jr. Cheesburger with everything'. If anything, it may be the other way around, with the listing *being* the Deluxe, and you have to order the older style (ketchup, pickle, onion and mustard) special. I know that's what happened with the double-stack (or as it's now known, 'The Double Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe' *does quick check* Actually, the www.wendys.com site lists the Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe as a separate item, the double stack (though our store menus don't call it that anymore), *and* the 'Bacon Deluxe Single" (and Double and Triple) which is basically the Big Bacon Classic with a different name (not sure if we show that on the menus at work though). And that 'Value Crispy Chicken Club' is just flat out wrong. That sandwich is the 'Crispy Chicken Deluxe', plain and simple (I ought to know, I've gotten them for myself often enough) and while it is a reduced cost compared to the standard Chicken Club (which uses the regular chicken patty, not the 'junior-sized' Crispy), it costs *more* than the regular Crispy Chicken (which lacks the cheese and bacon) unless you get it in the Combo (I think--last I knew the Crispy and the Crispy Deluxe *combos* were the same price, and were also the same price as the Double Junior Cheesburger Deluxe combo, but they may have changed that--I don't do cashier, so don't check the menu as often anymore. :-) ) What does amuse me is that a couple of actual 'secret' items were completely overlooked--the 'Veggie Burger' (which is just a Junior with the meat patty removed, leaving the mayo and vegetables). I can't remember if we still have the 'BLT sandwich' in the system or not, though I doubt it as it's too easy to confuse with the BLT *salad*. Of potential interest to some people is the other 'secret' option, which is to request a burger without a bun--it gets served in one of the side-dish trays that we use for the Wings and the Side Salads.

  • I worked at Starbuck's for years, and the "poor man's latte" is a pitiful excuse for a "latte." I tried it after watching so many cheap customers make them on the sly. DO NOT TELL THE BARISTA THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS -- It's really gross and you'll look proud to be cheap, and really, you might as well pony up the extra 50 cents for fresh milk, not the lukewarm carafes at the condiment bar!!! A french press can be done in store for you, but it costs several dollars. Everything but the tux mocha and red eye is something that you will look like an idiot asking for. Short is a SIZE, not a secret, and while a SBUX hasa "just say yes" policy to putting whatever you want in your drink (like biscotti in a frap), it does not come out as anything worth tasting, trust me.

  • Even though I haven't been to an In-n-Out in 2 years (last time I visited home), I am almost certain that they no longer cater the 100 x 100 burger. The largest in the "M x C" burger range (first number is meat patties, second number is cheese slices - so a 2 x 4 is two patties and four cheese slices) that they still make is the 8 x 8. Which I will be ordering, animal-style, on my next trip home.

  • Many of these aren't even secrets, as they're on the menu. Arby's French Dip and Chicken Cordon Bleu are still regular menu items where I'm located. Same with the Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ, and the Rodeo Burger from BK. I'm also pretty sure that your BK "Suicide Burger" is just a BK Quad Stacker (which is also 4 patties, 4 pieces of cheese, bacon and special sauce). Trying to order a McGangBang from McDonalds will probably just get you a lot of weird looks. It's more of a stoner-creation made popular by the internet than a "secret menu" item.

  • You know...on reading through this again, I'm thinking that a good portion of these 'secret' items (the ones that aren't just plain items that are out-of-season/disconinued/replaced) are...pretty much BS. They're not 'secret' items, they're just combinations of regular items that have gotten popular enough to have a recognizable nickname, not any sort of 'hidden' option in the register system.

  • Actually the 100X100 can not be made anymore because the company has issued an order capping the meat increase to a 4X4. The hundred by hundred was a fluke that was sensationalized due to a viral video, but when the old lady that owns the company saw it she capped the order size out of disgust.

  • Since when is poutine a secret menu item at KFC? In Canada, I mean. Always has been right on the menu when I was there. I don't expect they'd have a clue what I was talking about if I tried to order it in California. Not to mention that they don't have the cheese curds -- or, you know, the fries. (I was flabbergasted that KFC in Canada had french fries on the menu. Not something that automatically goes with fried chicken and biscuits, in my head.)

  • i worked at a starbucks basically forever, and there is so much wrong with the 'secret items' that i am amazed. the biggest one is this: you're not allowed to put anything but frappuccino ingredients into the blenders: that means no biscotti frap. it's against company policy, since putting food into the blenders could break the blades. and let me tell you, they are NOT cheap to replace. the only legitimate 'secret' on that list was the blended strawberry lemonade, which has indeed been taken off the menu. everything else is just an addition to an already existing drink, with added options that ARE on the menu. do some research next time.

If I cant hit a CFA for breakfest I go to micky dees.... about half of them have biscuts and gravy yeah some of them don't have it but half of them do most people who live in the south know that it's a southern staple.... and about Choc. ice cream yeah I was at my mickydees here in NC today and got my "little sister" a choc. cone. so yeah... oh and every time my mom eats there she gets big mac sauce on her fries the put them in the little box for burges and put the sauce on them like normal people do ketchup. When we go out of town we ask for it on the side.

  • Never heard of gravy at McDonald's. Must be an American thing. Someone was talking earlier about Quarter Pounder versus Big Mac. Quarter is (oviously) 1/4 lb. of meat. Big Mac is made with 2 1/10 lb. patties for a total of 1/5 lb. Take them to LCD and you arrive at 5/20 for the Quarter and 4/20 for the Big Mac. So no matter which way you look at it, making a Big Mac with quarter meat is not decreasing calories, but the opposite. I find a lot of people ask for "like a mac". So much so that a button has been added in some cases to charge for that. What that means is: No Ketchup, No Mustard, Add Lettuce, Add Mac Sauce. Another item is the Big Xtra. I'm not sure if any places still serve this item, but it's a Quarter Pounder with Cheese - No Mustard, Add Mayo, Add Lettuce, Add Tomato. And remember when you're waiting in line: 9 times out of 10 it's the customers in front of you who want a price check on every combination of items on the menu before deciding they only want a free glass of water that makes your wait long. Don't yell at the staff; they're as annoyed at those people as you are.

  • The ranch burrito from Taco John's is made with ground beef. (I've never heard of it with chicken or steak.) It only has the beef, lettuce, tomatoes and, you guessed it, ranch dressing in the burrito. It's actually pretty delicious. You can get it most places since they still have ranch for dipping potato oles. And it's still a menu item in parts of the Dakotas and Montana. I've never had a problem getting a cheesy gordita crunch at any taco bell in the Midwest or the East Coast whether they are officially on the menu or not. The most interesting thing on here is the poutine at KFC. That is good to know!

  • @ SAM.....you are incorrect about MOST McDonalds in the south offering gravy. I have lived in many southern locations including North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma....ALL states of which offer biscuits and gravy. Not sure where in the south you are from...well maybe if you still consider Virginina or Kentucky part of the south...but sir, you are incorrect in your statement. As I have worked FULL time for McDonalds for a total of 2 years. I am now employed in the USAF(which is why I have lived in many southern states) Hell, even here in Germany where I am stationed how has biscuits n gravy. Fact check please before you make comments.

  • The picture of the "Grand Slam" at Wendy's looks like several sandwiches put together. It even looks like there are more than 4-4oz. patties on that sandwich. There is no such item at Wendy's. One thing is true, the guest is #1 at Wendy's, and they will make you what ever you order, that includes making special order sandwiches.

  • Amazing how people will go through all these semantic turns and hybrid upgrades in an unrelentless quest to convince themselves that the slop they are served at these fast food joints is worthy of such detail. If people would brown bag it a little more and learn to enjoy fruits and vegetables they would be healthier and wealthier. Then they could go out once in a while to a real restaurant and ask a real waiter for food that is not on the menu. Substituting mustard for mayo or doubling up on frozen beef patties is to gastronomy as what drinking ripple and mad dog is to fine wine enjoyment.

  • The beef patties on the Big Macs are 1/10th of a pound. So the great ' Sam' from MickyD'ees doesn't even have accurate info. It's amazing how misinformation is everywhere. What really amazes me is this is such simple stuff I thought everyone knew it! Also I believe a Monster Mac only has 4 beef patties thus doubling the amount of beef. Heck the burger you have pictured for a Monster Mac doesn't even have the proper Big Mac bun.

  • To the haters: It's just funny...I don't think anyone really orders most of these off-the-wall things. It's just funny to think that there is a name for these crazy concoctions. For someone with kids who are picky eaters, it's nice to know that some places offer grilled cheese. And, In-n-Out does not serve the 100x100 - my drunk brother in law tried to order it not too long ago and ended up with the 4x4 and Animal Fries instead (he passed out before he could eat it).

  • McDonalds do 'doubles' for example double quarter pounder with cheese. You just need to ask, and if they say they no longer do that, ask for the duty manager to confirm that they do. Just like any restaurant you can ask for reasonable variations on their sandwich menu such as no pickle, extra relish, no mayo etc. Remember, the customer is always right!

  • Sam, you obviously don't work at McDonalds. If you had, you would know that Big Macs are not made with 1/8lb patties; they are made with 1/10lb patties. They call it "tenth meat" and it comes in the boxes with RED lettering and graphics, whereas the "quarter meat" comes in boxes with blue graphics and lettering. Since going to the clamshell-style grills, McDonalds has not sold 1/8lb patties at all.

  • Some of this is out of date. For example, the Frito Pie re-appeared on the Sonic menu about a year or so ago, and the Enchirito returned to Taco Bell even before that. No black olives on the new version though, so it isn't as cool looking as it used to be.

You can also order a chimichanga (which is a deep-fried beef burrito), and comes with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream (at least you could order a chimi a couple years ago.

Filet Mignon: They keep it in stock, but don't serve it unless you're "in the know" New York Strip: Another unadvertised steak treat, and wonderfully inexpensive Sushi: Each Krystal employs a professionally trained sushi chef, but he's usually too drunk to fix anything, so show up early in the evening Red Wine: It really complements the onion-y flavor of the fresh, hot, small, square burgers

  • I worked for Dairy Queen in high school. First of all, they're mostly (all?) franchises. At the locations in my hometown, the banana split Blizzard, chocolate chip Blizzard, and Peanut Buster Parfait are all standard, posted menu items. Incidentally, they're also the only items I've ever heard of on that list. Second, the store owners decide what toppings to stock. For instance, we didn't stock blueberries, cherries, raspberries, or butterscotch cone dip in spite of the fact that those are staples at other locations. I suspect that if you sidle up to any random DQ and order, say, that lavender blue sundae, it'll be a real crap shoot as to whether or not your server will have any clue what you're asking for.

  • You are missing the best blizzard ever from Dairy Queen--the Mud Pie! Make sure they do not confuse it with Mississippi Mud Fudge. The mud pie is vanilla soft serve, coffee syrup, hot fudge, and oreo cookies. It was a menu staple years ago that slowly faded away, but you can still order it. If they are confused just tell them to look it up in the book.

  • Look, I have no interest in the secret menus of any restaurant; fast food just isn't that important to me. And, I have to say, I am a bit surprised by the rabid response of the people responding who seem to take personally any suggestions that a fast food restaurant that they visit regularly might offer different menus in different areas. I am just surprised, I guess, by the level of passion with which you all responded. Anyway, I dropped in only to say to the author of this Sherpa thing that the ice cream treat to which he/she is referring is a "sundae" and not a "Sunday" as was used several times on this site. I am a bit saddened that in the cry of foul by all of the people responding here who disagreed with the list of menu items, only one other person seemed to notice what should be an embarrassing mistake made not only once, but several times. Oh well; I guess that isn't so important in the scheme of things. I will let you all get back to your food fight. Enjoy!

  • This would have been a better article if it just listed the many regional variations that really are available. Too bad that most chains are not smart enough to try some of the popular ones in one area in another region. I used to live in the West Indies and it was kind of cool to go into a KFC, McD, or other chains and get Creole, indian or tropical fruit versions of regular items. One item I wish I could still get was Carl's Jr. California Roast beef, I twas shave meat like Arby's a whole mild roasted green ortega chili, jack cheese on an onion roll. It was awesome.

  • As far as what other people have been saying, many of these items listed are actually regular menu items. The only ones that are "Secret" are the In-n-Out ones, and even those are just to hype up the place because most people already know of them and they are listed on their website. One thing that is not always the same is the BK Veggie Whopper. I used to get them a lot, before they were advertised on the menu, which they are now, and they were made with a layer of onion rings instead of a veggie patty. I used to get these from 1995 to 1999 at the Burger King in Saratoga, California in the Westgate West shopping center until they released the "Veggie" burger and then refused to make it the old way. The Jamba Juice items are real too, but not everyone knows how to make all the drinks. I have ordered all of those Taco Bell items directly off of the main menu. One of my favorites used to be a Chili Cheese burrito and and enchirito with a sierra Mist.

  • Just to clear up some confusion...yes, many fast food restaurants in all areas of the country have "gravy" in the sense of sausage and cream gravy, for breakfast...but the gravy usually used in poutine is brown gravy, similar to what is usually served with Salisbury steak. I'm a chili cheese burrito devotee myself. Anyone remember when it was called the Chilito? When they changed the name I got some strange looks for a while until a nice employee explained. It is still on the menu at all the Taco Bells I've gone to here in the Midwest, and even during the brief break during the name change you could still order it even though it wasn't on the menu (new plastic menu inserts on order, I imagine).

  • Oh, one more thing I forgot-- feeding people IS most assuredly a "meaningful contribution," from everyone from the farmers and ranchers who grow our food, the truckers who move our food, the packers and processors who package our food and, yes, the cooks who cook our food. I grew up on a working cattle ranch and rice farm and my Dad taught me early on that growing people's food was one of the most honest AND HONORABLE of all professions! Never forget that It is truly IMPORTANT work, even if the pay for most of those valuable jobs IS crap. Those who look down on the people who do these jobs should have to TRY getting through life without us. We won't miss all you lawyers, MBAs and other educated idiots when you starve. But you sure would miss us!

  • A couple of bucks extra on your order can conjure anything on this website. I'm sure the cashiers are capable of warning their customers on excessive caloric value - disclaimer, signature, and all. "customizing your order MAY cause death or erratic pseudo-legal threats."" ... Seriously though, by working at taco bell, I found that Managers dont take kindly to denying a customer add-ons while telling them how poisonous their food is.

  • The "two cheeseburger meal" at McDonald's is one of my favorites -- I tend to get full really quickly, but get hungry again later, so I will eat one of the the little burgers (same ones in Happy Meals) with my lunch or whatever, and save the other one for a mid-afternoon snack -- since they don't have lettuce or tomato on them, they don't get soggy. It used to be on the menu a while back, then it disappeared -- but I don't think I've ever had a McDonald's not know what I was ordering.

  • I worked at a Dairy Queen in the late 80s - early 90s and we made "old-fashioned sodas" off-menu for customers who requested them. Soda water mixed with one of the flavoring syrups, then vanilla soft-serve piped in. Served in something roughly the shape of a parfait glass but even larger. A web search suggests these are still available off-menu at least at some DQs.

  • A 100 years ago Taco Bell used to have "Bell burgers" They were great. Just taco meat on a bun. If the buns were toasted eeven better. I haven't tried to order it in years but last time I did they had it.

  • McLeprichon? That is complete nonsense! First, it's called a Shamrock Shake. It was an official menu item in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s around the month of March ONLY until McDonald's dropped the ball and stopped carrying it at most restaurants because they were too busy making hip '90s ad campaigns marketed at urban Americans. They re-released it nationally in 2006 as the Shrek Shake for the third installment in the Shrek film series, and even then not every McDonald's carried it. Fast-forward to now: I have asked for this fucking thing EVERY MARCH at every McDonald's in a twenty mile radius and NONE of them carry it. By the way, I just want to reiterate how much of an idiot you are for calling it a McLeprichon.

  • I worked at Starbucks for 7 years throughout high school and college and sure you, CAN order a "poor man's latte" (I would advise against not ordering it that way...) but when the baristas see you using up all of the "free" milk at the condiment bar, it's safe to say you won't be on any favorite customer lists...in fact every time you come in the partners behind the bar will cringe. That's not what the condiment bar milk is for. I'm all for saving money, but don't be cheap. Spent the extra 80 cents or whatever it is and get a latte. I seriously can't even believe that's listed on this list.

A short has been there for YEARS, also try subbing peppermint with the classic syrup in a Green Tea Frap and it tastes like mint chip ice cream (ask for extra Peppermint). And a just found out about a Breve Bomb which is cold breve/half and half, with 2 shots poured on top over a spoon.

  • Big Mac with Quarter Pounder Patties - This is great if you are looking to decrease the cost and calories of the classic Big Mac Sandwich. You get the entire flavor with less meat. That doesn't make sense. You replace the regular hamburger patties with 2 1\4 pounder patties? That would be more meat not less...and probably more calories.

Theres some classics out there, and they're known as different things from store to store.

  • Actually, what they were saying is that Burger King does not carry or sell a "veggie patty". When asked for a Veggie Whopper, BK simply gives you a whopper, minus the meat. So, it is YOU who "is wrong"!

  • LOL @ all the people who say they don't eat and/or care about fast food. Well....you obviously cared enough to read and comment. AngrySteve: "And all the current or ex employees of the said chains, if you're such a expert,shouldn't you be a Assistant manger by now." i am an ex employee of both Dunkin and BK (in both store as well as administrative office)- just because i knew how to do my job, doesn't mean i actually WANTED to be an assistant manager. I worked there when I was younger and left to pursue a college education thankyouverymuch. Some people stay in the fast food biz their whole lives but the reality is that fast food has a really high turnover rate because employees are usually kids looking for part time jobs while they are in HS. Anyway- I can't believe that there was only one other person who mentioned the Coolatta mixes at Dunkin!! My all time favorite was mixing the Orange-Mango with Vanilla. It resulted in creamsicle heaven...

  • For McDonalds, simple things like substitutions should have been made known. In stores that offer a dollar menu, a McDouble is the exact same thing as a double cheeseburger minus one piece of cheese. Also, you can get a couple items from the menu for a bit cheaper( with the dollar menu and substitutions). For example, if you ask for a McDouble with an extra patty and special sauce (and whatever other condiments that are normally included on a big mac) you end up with a big mac sandwich minus the extra piece of bread and a dollar. Learn how to abuse the dollar menu like a red-headed stepchild if you really want to get your money's worth at any fast food chain.

  • At MacDonalds I think the packets of McChicken sauce are the best to get for fries. Not everyone knows they are available upon request. And they are great for adding to the Junior Chicken sandwiches (which don't have the sauce on them) and for adding to the regular McChicken sandwiches because there is never enough sauce on them.

  • I ALWAYS ask for Frozen Hot Chocolate at DQ... Its about 1 out of every 10 times that someone knows what it is and how to make it. Sometimes its even just a matter of getting the right person at the register. I've ordered it before and come back to the same place a week later and been told it doesn't exist... Cest la Vie... it makes it all the more worth it when I successfully procure one. I highly recommend asking next time you're at a DQ.... its absolutely to die for. An interesting note too (which i'm sure is the case with over 50% of the menu items listed here) - Frozen Hot Chocolate, according to my old weight watchers handbook from when it used to be on the menu, is over twice the calories of any other drink DQ makes.....

  • I don't understand the hostility felt toward fast food workers? Just because one works fast food does not mean they are stupid. It just so happens that the many that continue to work fast food are lower educated. But please tell me what teen age people can do for a living with limited hours of availability. But wait, let me back up...what's the point of complaining about that... at least they are working. With the unemployment rate the way it is, we should be proud that there are teenagers out there willing to work and not sitting at home adding to the obesity rate of America. What we should be doing is talking about the health stats of Fast Food and healthy alternatives to fast food. In regards to the secret menu, as already stated by many... most of the items are not secrets. You can go to Arby's or Wendy's and get a side of cheese for your fries for example.

They really don't GRILL the sandwich, just send it through the oven.

  • I worked at Starbucks for 5 years... we hate when you order a White Mocha/Mocha as a "zebra mocha" "white tux" or any other lame name... Just ask for half mocha, half white mocha syrup. this is pretty much true for any made up name for drinks (excluding red eye)

  • Just an FYI, you can only order hot drinks in a short from Starbucks, they don't make cold cups. The only reason short cups exist is for shots of espresso or macchiatos. Also, there is no such thing as chocolate frapp base. That's just creme base with mocha syrup added. You can't add a biscotti to a frapp because it breaks the blades, but if you get the right Barista they'll chop it up for you before they add it in. A Zebra Mocha is actually a Marble Mocha Macchiato. French Presses are available all day any day and cost the same as a standard cup of coffee, but you have to wait for four minutes while it steeps, so not good in a hurry. And if you add one or two espresso beans to a coffee frappucino, it's really fantastic. OH and if you order a shaken black tea, and substitute half of the classic pumps for peppermint, it tastes like iced refresh without having to wait as long.

  • Wendy’s: You can recreate the legendary Birmingham (Alabama) hamburgers of the 1940s and 50s by ordering a hamburger without lettuce and tomatoes but with onions and pickles, and ask them for 2 or 3 little gold foil containers of the chili sauce they keep under the counter. Yum. Krystal: Order a double Krystal with extra pickles and mustard. Yum, yum. Rally’s: Order a $1.25 (or is it $1.29) Rally burger with extra lettuce and tomato (free). Also, order a Rally burger hold the meat, with extra mayo, for a cheap lettuce and tomato sandwich. Taco Bell: Order a bean burrito with (free) triple onions. Add the medium sauce. It’s lo-fat and Yum.

But then the McD's there also sell, or used to anyway, cajun fries as a regular trade out option for plain fries and I haven't seen that anywhere else. And people calling this list a stoner's wet dream- that's an insult to stoners everywhere. I'm a stoner and the only thing on this list that I would eat is the Veggie Burger from BK. The ones here in NM use Gardenburger patties and they're really good. And the Taco Bells here all offer green sauce and they'll make anything vegetarian for you if you ask. And the chili cheese burrito is called the Enchirito- it's right on the menu, no big secret.

  • The thing about fast food restaraunts today is the greater amount of flexibility in making sandwiches. You can build sandwiches at many restaurants that aren't off the menu, which is the same with starbucks and jamba juice. Since I work at Jack in the Box, trust me, just ask, we enjoy it when people try something different. They'll do whatever, just try it! BTW i tried to buy the chicken cordon blu at Arby's, but when i went back, they had taken it off the menu. So, I asked if they still had it, and they said no. Like all franchise or chain restaraunts, it might be different from store to store.

When I saw the news cast I just laughed, because as stupid as it sounds, it is true. I don't remember any of the comments in which she stated that the names were great or anything about calories. One more thing, as for restaurants adding stuff to orders due to items either selling or getting thrown away, THAT IS WITH ANY RESTURANT as well as my kitchen refrigerator. Oh, and by the way, I eat an order of biscuits and gravy every friday. (it's my cheat day) So don't comment on things that you are little aware of.

  • I'm loving this. For someone who is 6' and 130 lbs I am a huge fan of eating what I want. I love articles like this. And to the activist and commentaries to this article who are cringing because of the fat content, the above comments show a great majority of people who still love the freedom of food. I'll take my In

  • Crunchberry Frap both smelled and tasted like captain crunch, not very many Starbucks actually knew how to make the Cake Batter Frap but they had heard of it. I guess I'm just going to have to teach everyone.

  • I work at DQ, and we really don't have secret stuff, its all the old blizzards that people forgot about that we can still make its no big deal. None of those sundaes are even close to being secrets, they list all the flavors, and the banana split bliz is on the menu as well as the peanut buster ALL THE TIME, and even though the frozen hot chocolate isn't on the menu it hasn't been for about the past 5 years so...but most places will still make it

  • I have been a manager for Wendy's for 10 years. No I am not stupid nor slow in any way. Also I am not fat. If you want something we will be more then happy to make it for you. And if there is 1 thing I can say it would be nice to the person who is making your food. I have heard of far worse things then spit in food!

  • You know, you guys have all been blasting on about how out of date this is. Yes, many of these items appear on the menu now. Yes they have new names. Yes, they may be available all the time. But, at some point in the last 20 years, they were test items you "had to know someone" to get. If they prove that people actually want something like that, then it eventually moves on to the regular menu, typically replacing a slower selling item. So go on about how out dated it is, and then remember that some of us are not so young that we dont remember when the McRib was a secret item available all the time.

  • I work at wendy's, we don't carry ham so that barnyard thing is not an option, I've been there 5 years, if someone ordered a grand slam I would tell them to go to Denny's. This is crap.

  • The most creative off-menu combinations, in my experience, come from employees who find themselves eating in-restaurant shift after shift. At Steak 'N Shake I learned to make a pretty mean "fettuccini alfredo:" sliced chicken breast over plain (chili mac) noodles, with cream of broccoli soup standing in for the sauce and a bit of parmesan sprinkled over the top. Anything but the same damn salad every night. Also, I'd recommend anybody without a heart condition try this once: order a shake with *real* ice cream. Shakes are usually made with a nonfat "shake base," but substituting full-fat vanilla is a revelation. Taste at your own risk!
