Restaurant recipes
How do I go about getting a recipe from a restaurant? I know there are lots of copycat recipes online but I never seem to find the one I'm looking for and if I do find it, it tastes aweful.
I was thinking maybe I could pretend to have an allergy to some foods and I could say "what's in it?" LOL But that makes me a liar so not so fond of that idea. Anyone have an idea???

I would just ask the waitress. When I had that job I was always ready and willilng to discuss it!! It wouldn't be awkward or anything, I'm sure it is something they get a lot...I did.
I would definitely ask!

Let's see... Pizza from any pizza restaurant. Shroeder's (burger chef) ham & cheese sandwich. Pizza King has a sandwich that for the life of me, I cannot think of the name right now. It's sort of like spaghetti sauce & meat on a sub....almost like BBQ, but not. Oh that's it, Texas BBQ. And the REAL REAL recipe for taco bell meat. I've tried about 10 copycat recipes now and they're all wrong...and flat out gross honestly.

My mom used to have 2 cookbooks full of restuarant recipes & name-brand foods, like Reese's Cups & Oreo cookies. She managed to lose the books in one of her many moves, and I can't remember the name or the author. I do know that the books had a guy on the cover & he looked like a complete goof. Hmmmm, now this is going to bug me until I remember the name.

I agree, I'm not a fan of the copycat sites. They're never the same.
A few times I have been friends with people who worked at a particular restaurant and they gave me the recipe. Also some cooking magazines (I'm thinking of Bon Appetit in particular) feature restaurant recipes that they have been given.
