Publisher Description
Ron Douglas reveals the secret recipes from America’s restaurants—The Cheesecake Factory, The Olive Garden, P.F. Chang’s, Red Lobster, and many more—and shows readers how to make them at home for a fraction of the price.
The average American family eats out three or more times per week, which translates into hundreds of dollars spent on food each month. In these hard economic times, families simply can’t afford to keep paying these high prices. And Ron Douglas has spent the past five years of his life ensuring that we won’t have to. With the help of a test kitchen and more than 45,000 tasters, he uncovered the carefully guarded recipes of the most popular meals at restaurants across the country. With his easy-to-follow steps, families can now enjoy the meals they love most at a price they can actually afford.
KFC’s Famous Fried Chicken, Chili’s Southwest Chicken Chili, Olive Garden’s Breadsticks, and Cheesecake Factory’s Oreo Cheesecake are just a few of the many famous and delicious recipes included. And because each recipe has been tested by Ron’s incredible network of tens of thousands of testers, they are indistinguishable from the originals.
These best-kept secrets can save you thousands of dollars a year and will put delicious meals on the table that the whole family will enjoy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The latest in Douglas's bestselling series of reverse engineering popular dishes at chain restaurants (America's Most Wanted Recipes, etc) is dedicated to grill-centered fare, enabling followers to whip up pitch-perfect versions of In-N-Out Burger's iconic Double Double or A&W's Deluxe Grilled Chicken Sandwich in their own backyards. Organized alphabetically by restaurant, fans can simply flip to their restaurant of choice to view Douglas's take on a handful of the chains' signature dishes. In some cases, such as Red Lobster's grilled rack of shrimp, the instructions are painfully simple (skewer shrimp, brush with olive oil, grill), while in others, such as Chili's Southwestern Egg Rolls and, somewhat surprisingly, Qdoba's three-cheese burrito, they'll need to source a seemingly endless number of ingredients and go through multiple steps in order to achieve that unique flavor. Once readers realize how much effort it does or doesn't take to recreate their favorite item and ask themselves questions like, "Do you really need to make your own onion rings from scratch for an DIY Angry Whopper?" they may come to the conclusion that it's simply easier to hop in the car and go to the source. Just because you can doesn't always mean you should. But for those who dare, this will likely strike a chord.
