Secret Restaurant Recipes
Secret restaurant recipes aren’t easy to get. So for secret recipes like these, we’ve done some detective work to discover their secrets…and add a few of our own. Creating these Restaurant recipes takes an enormous amount of testing, but perfect restaurant recipes are worth it.
Every time I call a restaurant under an assumed name to ask questions about their secret restaurant recipe you want to duplicate at home, I console myself by saying “it’s a white lie, a guiltless crime, a necessary part of my job.”
So for those of you who have benefited from my “cloned” secret restaurant recipes, remember to keep me in your prayers. When I knock at the pearly gates, I don’t want St. Pete handing me his cell, telling me to apologize and worst of all, identify myself…
Some restaurants take a different approach and are happy to share their recipes. They know that it’s all the ambiance technique and convenience offered at their restaurant – far more than just a secret recipe. I did my best to include details about how-to in these recipes. The process, technique and how-to of a secret restaurant recipe can make all of the difference.
If you have a secret restaurant or clone recipe you’d like to share, please do! Our readers love finding the gems you share and I love the idea of you being part of the site. Please send in your secret restaurant recipes and restaurant clones and the list below will continue to grow with delicious secrets.

I am looking for a recipe for cole slaw like they make for the Lenten Fish Fry at Immaculate Heart of Mary on Beechmont Avenue.

Hi Connie. I’ll post a classic mayonnaise cole slaw that will capture this Lenten Fish Fry flavor shortly. Here’s a vinegar cole slaw that’s bright and flavorful. Vinegar Cole Slaw
