THE SECRET MENUS AREN'T SO SECRET ANYMORE!
By Mary Kennedy
I first heard about "secret menus" when I was in California, going to an In-N-Out drive through, looking for a vegetarian snack. I saw a LOT of hamburgers on the menu but my friend told me I could order off the "secret menu."
I thought she was kidding and then I heard her order a burger "protein style" off the secret menu. This meant that her burger would come wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of a soft white bun.
"But what will I get?" I asked. "I don't eat meat."And that's when she told me about the grilled cheese option on the secret menu. Yes, it's just what you would expect. A meatless version of their classic hamburger, made with melted cheese on a bun with lettuce and tomato. (and yes, it's tasty!)
Other secret menu finds: If you're a chicken afficienado,you can order a Big McChicken at McDonald's. Two chicken patties replace the bun on their cheeseburger, all the trimmings remain the same. That's a LOT of chicken.
You can get "frings" at Burger King (a mixture of fries and onion rings.)
Or chicken quesadilla at Chick-Fil-A. which is char-broiled chicken with melted cheese wrapped in a tortilla.
Another find is a Green Eye at Starbucks, 3 shots of espresso into regular drip coffee.
While you're at Starbucks (and not counting calories), you could try a raspberry cheesecake frappuccino. It's actually a vanilla bean frappuccino with raspberry syrup, mocha syrup, java chips and more.
At Taco Bell, you can order their chili cheese burrito. Piping hot chili with cheese, in a flour tortilla.
Did you know that Burger King will make you a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) if you ask for it?
How about you? Do you have any secret menu finds you'l like to share?
Bon appetit!!
