Product Description
From Amazon
Long before scientists in Scotland cloned Dolly the sheep, Todd Wilbur was hard at work replicating recipes from some of America's favorite restaurant chains. Armed with Ziploc bags for transporting leftovers and plenty of questions for his servers, Wilbur has combined the skills of a private eye and a research scientist to devise the tasty clones included in Top Secret Restaurant Recipes. Wilbur honed his technique on convenience food, creating exact duplicates of everything from a Big Mac to a Twinkie; in this book, however, he sets his sights on slightly more sophisticated fare. Within these pages you'll find sure-fire recipes for such chain favorites as Hard Rock Cafe's Famous Baby Rock Watermelon Ribs, Cheese Blintzes from the International House of Pancakes, and The Olive Garden's Hot Artichoke-Spinach Dip. Denny's, Shoney's, The Cheesecake Factory, and Pizza Hut are just a few of the many chain restaurants from which popular menu items have been "cloned." So the next time you have a hankering for Tony Roma's World Famous Ribs or a slice of Red Robin's Mountain High Mud Pie, don't bother to go out--instead, eat in with Top Secret Restaurant Recipes.
From Booklist
As restaurant chains proliferate, their food expresses a culinary Gresham's law: bad food drives out good. Wilbur, building on the popularity of his books revealing McDonald's Big Mac special sauce and Twinkies' filling, continues to plumb the shallows of chain-restaurant cooking. Here he tells the home cook how to make favorite dishes from such popular chains as Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, and dozens more. What Wilbur cleverly uncovers are legal constructs more than culinary creations (witness the blizzard of trademark bullets appearing next to virtually every name). Wilbur's blueprint diagrams of food add to a perception of these comestibles as food engineering. Nevertheless, this book will be eagerly sought by library patrons delving for just the sort of chain-restaurant secrets Wilbur unveils. Mark Knoblauch

A great cookbook to add to your collection,
By "homeschoolernj" (ringwood, nj United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes: Creating Kitchen Clones from America's Favorite Restaurant Chains (Paperback)
This is a fun cookbook. I have tried to copy things I have eaten from restuarants and never was able to copy it right. I love the the IHOP cheese blintz and couldnt for the life of me figure out what was in the middle. Now with this book I am able to make it myself. That recipe alone for me made the book worthwhile. I am going to try the bloomin onion next. It even tells you how to cut the onion. This is just a fun cookbook to have whether you are a professional chef or a dont know how to even boil water. The one negative about the book is the paper its printed on. It would never survive a spill. I tend to have more spills or splatters on my cookbooks because they are right in front of me as I am using them. This one I will have to be more careful with because it wont be able to take it.

Not for dieters...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes: Creating Kitchen Clones from America's Favorite Restaurant Chains (Paperback)
This book is similar to all the other ones out there. Not really anything that sets it apart from the rest. if you're on a diet, I would definitely steer clear of this book. Many of the recipes seem to be high in fat and calories.The recipes are easy to follow but I would have to say that the best one in the whole book is the recipe for the Olive Garden's Italian dressing. Delicious!
