From Booklist
As restaurant chains proliferate, their food expresses a culinary Gresham’s law: bad food drives out good. Wilbur, building on the popularity of his books revealing McDonald’s Big Mac special sauce and Twinkies’ filling, continues to plumb the shallows of chain-restaurant cooking. Here he tells the home cook how to make favorite dishes from such popular chains as Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, and dozens more. What Wilbur cleverly uncovers are legal constructs more than culinary creations (witness the blizzard of trademark bullets appearing next to virtually every name). Wilbur’s blueprint diagrams of food add to a perception of these comestibles as food engineering. Nevertheless, this book will be eagerly sought by library patrons delving for just the sort of chain-restaurant secrets Wilbur unveils.
Top Secret Restaurant Recipes - Creating Kitchen Clones by Todd Wilbur Review
I found that the book was a great investment for people who might not have the funds or the patience to be at the restaurants all the time to have great food. Everything that I’ve made has been excellent, and though I’m sure that the author tried to find the closest ingredients that could be found with ease at your local market (and in comments to the people who gave a bad review that he couldn’t find the ingredients out of the country, we’re lucky someone has found a way for us to make the recipes at ALL! How’s he supposed to know you can’t get Mayo where you are and what substitution you could use in its place? ) Also to the person who made the comment about it not being “gourmet fare” the recipes that are in the book aren’t supposed to all be gourmet fare, they’re supposed to be recipes most people LOVE & it wasn’t like you couldn’t look over the book and judge if it was for you before you bought it! I LOVE this book, and it looks like everyone else does too! Great Job Todd! THANKS!
