I’m on the other end of the country in Baltimore. This post is, of course, getting me hungry. It’s making my head swim with all the restaurants I am going to now have to investigate to find their secret menus. It’s exciting and tiring all at the same time!

I love your book BTW, though I have a serious bone to pick with HChamp in Idea #1 (inward-facing toilet paper, BAH!). Funny book you have there!

I love this! After searching around a bit I noticed that city search has a secret menu listed on the their site for Los Angeles. Not sure if they have it for other cities but might be worth exploring.

I love this idea. I think I might start sleuthing around to see if some of my favorite Seattle restaurants have a “secret menu”. Very fun!

There are few things I enjoy more than being let in on a secret. Thanks, Maggie! Jules House of Jules

One large part about being Chinese is that we like to eat and have long drawn out family dinners either at home or out. One perk about being my father’s daughter is his nack of befriending Chinese restaurant chefs. He is always able to order delicious dishes that are not anywhere on the menu. However, the disadvantage is I never know how to order when I eat at Chinese restaurants without him! Pooh!

The Dirty Dozen at the PSC is to freaking die for. We were told the secret after flirting with our waitress.

Flirting always, always pays off. Always.

(Note: Flirting as used here to describe harmless flirting that one does with near strangers to imply we’re all friends here, not sexual predator-type flirting that makes everyone uncomfortable.)

When I was just 14 or so, I used to go to a secret bar, and I would be given very small secret drinks. It’s funny, because Zeitgeist reminds me a lot of that bar.

What? For reals, secret menus?

Wait. Are there SECRET COCKTAIL MENUS?

Because that would be like a dream.
