Secret Menus at Restaurants

Posted on 3/3/2010 by grubgirl

You might have heard of the secret menu at In-n-Out, but did you know that many other fast food chains also have secret menu items to order?

The folks over at Coupon Sherpa have compiled a comprehensive overview of 24 secret restaurant menus, often with photos, so you, too, can order off-menu the next time you’re at any of these places.

Some of my favorites?

  • Chipotle’s Quesorito – A quesadilla with any of the fillings used in a burrito, rolled together and baked in the tortilla warmer. This is a crispier version of a quesadilla.

CurryUpNow – Mobile Indian Street Food

Posted on 2/8/2010 by grubgirl

CurryUpNow Indian Street FoodWho: Curry Up Now, a mobile lunch and dinner truck (I’ve nicknamed it Curry Cart for short) serving hungry customers in San Mateo, Burlingame, and Redwood Shores.

That means you get legit Indian dishes often wrapped up in corn or flour tortillas for a lunchtime fix, or a traditional boxed lunch with a side or rice, veggies, and the entree. Lunch and dinner options are available, though I think they are open either one meal or the other (not a lunch and dinner on the same day).
