    About Top Secret Restaurant Recipes

    #1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series with more than 4 million books sold! 

    Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars gobbling up meals at full-service restaurant chains, inspiring Todd Wilbur to change his focus from cracking the recipes for convenience store foods to cloning the popular dishes served at these sit-down stand-bys. Wilbur’s knock-offs, absolutely indiscernible from the originals, are selected from national and regional chains, many drawn from a list of the top ten full-service restaurant chains, including Houlihan’s, Red Lobster, and Pizza Hut. Also included in this savory cookbook is a special section devoted to dishes from hot theme restaurants such as Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, and Dive! Recipes include: Applebee’s Quesadillas; Denny’s Moons Over My Hammy; Bennigan’s Cookie Mountain Sundae; The Olive Garden Toscana Soup; The Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta; T.G.I.Friday’s Nine-Layer Dip; Pizza Hut Original Stuffed Crust Pizza; Chi-Chi’s Nachos Grande, and many more!

    Praise

    Praise for Todd Wilbur’s #1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series

    “[Wilbur’s] problem isn’t that the recipes he’s devised aren’t good enough, it’s that they’re too good.”—Entertainment Weekly
     
    “There is something magically compelling about the idea of making such foods at home…The allure is undeniable, and [the books are] stuffed with tidbits and lore you’re unlikely to find anywhere else. These probably come as close as you can get to the original recipes.”—Boston Herald
     
    “This is the cookbook to satisfy all your cravings.”—Juli Huss, author of The Faux Gourmet
     
    “The recipes are easy to follow and… by preparing your own versions of restaurant meals you will almost always save money.”—Arizona Daily Star
     
    “[Wilbur’s] recipes use everyday supermarket ingredients to bring brand-name foods to the home kitchen. Perhaps not surprisingly, his recipes are not complex. If anything, they reflect how easy home cooking can be.”—Star Tribune (Minneapolis–St. Paul)
     
    “The assignment: Find out how to make the tasty Jack Daniels Grill Sauce used by T.G.I. Friday’s restaurants. The client: Oprah Winfrey. The gumshoe: Todd Wilbur. Mission Impossible for even the most savvy food expert. But not so for Todd Wilbur, a crackerjack culinary sleuth.”—Pocono Record
      
    “Many of [Wilbur’s] dishy imitations come, like a box of Cracker Jacks, with a surprise inside.”—Mademoiselle
