Fast food "secret menus."

He wasn't alone.
I get a quesadilla from Chipotle all the time. It's not on the menu, so I guess that makes it "secret".
I do want to try this biscuits and gravy in Virginian Mcdonalds thing someone said. Do they use gravy in any other item...

I need to try that one of these days, but I always chicken out at the end...
Also, at my Jamba Juice, we still have the Orange Dream Machine on the menu and luckily the people there don't blink if you ask for the gummy flavors or a sour patch kid. There's one flavor I vaguely remember but can't remember what it's called. It had lime sherbet, limeade and lemonade I believe...

wait, the orange dream machine is now considered a secret item at jamba juice? weird, you can get one at every jamba juice here in socal.
Yeah, 44oz cups iirc. Could be filled with a drink or stuffed with fries. Not there anymore though.

Made good on my dinner plans (under the green is an animal style double double):
Haven't had this in nearly two months... So good.

No animal style fries? Heathen.

Awesome as they are, animal fries are expensive. Drives the price up from $1.90 to $4.50 or something like that. Which bugs me because an animal burger isn't any extra.

God, if there was In and Out in Florida I would just embrace my obesity.
Forcing my wife to give her two weeks notice and moving back to MN.
My parents will be happy, but I'll never tell them the real reason.

lettuce as the bun...that seems like such an amazing idea instead of eating burgers without buns

I find that protein style helps me when I want to eat all of my well-done fries...or when I just want to not eat bread.
No freaking way I would do it, because I'm sure only the shittiest Arby's know this secret. The only secret menu I would trust would be In n Out.

Some of those Jamba Juice flavors sound delicious. I may go give this a try tomorrow.

I had well done In-N-Out fries tonight and I hereby confirm they are much better than the standard fries but still not as good as fries from other fast food places.

I find that they also give you more fries when you order them well-done (as shown in my pic). Animal fries are the best though at In-N-Out.
That was the one I tried at JJ. I was told it doesn't exist. I told them the ingredients (I had written them down before hand because I knew this would happen) and the guy just said that if it wasn't on the menu then there's probably a reason for that, but he'd do it anyway.
This means there's obviously no consistency or training behind these secret menus. Meaning as far as I'm concerned, they should be on the main menu, "image" be damned. If they're so concerned about their image they wouldn't be serving that stuff in the first place anywhere.

Was it just that one time? The last time i went to a JJ, the guy standing at the register ignored me while playing with his phone and then walked away before I could order. That's not typical in my experience; usually they are ridiculously enthusiastic.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The Big Hamburger is on the nutrition facts poster, but yeah... I've never seen it on the menu. They charge $1.69 for it here, though.

After attempting to order a McGangbang, it doesn't scare me anymore.
For InO, my go-to order was:
double-double extra everyhing, whole grilled onions
Well done fries animal style
Two sides of chile peppers
Damn. Gonna grab InO for lunch tomorrow. Thx GAF

Secret Menu item door today: Cap'n Crunch from Starbucks
(it's a grande/medium)

Not exactly a secret item but at McDonalds if you are craving a big mac but not the price order a McDouble minus ketchup and mustard and add mac sauce and lettuce. It's like 1.60 at some places but was free at the last mcdonalds I went to. You can get like two of them for the price of a Big Mac.
And when I say free I mean than only charged me $0.99 for the burger, the changes were free.

I'm suprised the chilli cheese burritos are so limited in their distribution. I get one about once a month from various locations here in St. Louis

Ok, haven't read the thread, but... what?
Unless something has changed that I'm unaware of, the Chili Cheese Burrito is a standard Taco Bell menu item in Canada and has been for at least 20 years. It isn't in the US?

I wonder if Burger King still does Rodeo Burger. I remember even after it disappeared from the menu, I still ordered it and got it.
It's not special without the name.

No. It used to be, but was phased out in general for whatever reason back in the 90s. Still available in some places, but it is not part of the standard, nation-wide menu.

For you Xia:
Flying Dutchman & Well-Done Animal Style Fries.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
One secret McDonalds burger I remember from working there was the Quarter Deluxe. It's basically a Quarter Pounder but with mayo, lettuce and a tomato. Nothing special really.

Did this myself over the weekend. I was $1.31 after tax for altered double cheeseburger.

I went to Arby's and asked my friend for wet fries.
He gave me a cup of cheese
But I wish he would have dumped it on my fries.

Did you order extra sauce and onions? Mine are never loaded like that. *drools*

Nope, but the In-N-Out I frequent always tends to be quite generous with the food really. Also helps that I ordered this around 12:30am on a Saturday night (this was my post-Cabin in the Woods meal).

Tried this at Jamba Juice the other day. Got the Sourpatch Kid. It was delicious, and I felt legitimately awesome walking up and ordering it. The lady didn't look at me weird or anything.
Will try the Pink Starburst next.

Is it in SoCal by any chance?

NorCal. I live in the East Bay of the SF Bay Area (Dublin).
Best part are that when they cook well-done fries, they're like potato chips. So awesome.
I feel crafty for just asking for a coke with no ice since you get more in the cup. That's about it. Oh and you can annoy them by asking for a Quarter Pounder without Cheese because it catches them off guard.
