Suicide on a bun.
In a town that elevates VIP treatment to a level that, at the very least, approaches absurdity, it makes sense that the rest of us would want a taste of it too. The easiest, and cheapest, way to be special and in-the-know? Ordering secret (and not-so-secret) off-menu stuff at fast-food joints. Full disclosure: the off-menu items contained herein cannot all be personally attested to by this author, so when you sidle up to the counter, casually ask for a "Suicide" at Burger King, and are met with a blank stare, you're on your own. (4 meat patties, 4 slices of cheese, bacon and sauce on a sesame seed bun.)

carey jones- serious eats animal fries.jpg
Serious Eats-Corey Jones
You animal!
In-N-Out

  • Animal-style burgers & fries:
  • But they don't say, for instance, that fries too, can be ordered "Animal-style," which is to say, with pickles, sauce and grilled onions.
  • Grilled Cheese:
  • You can order a "grilled cheese" (cheeseburger, hold the meat) and cheese fries too.
  • Flying Dutchman:
  • Two beef patties and two slices of cheese on a bun.
  • Neopolitan Shake:
  • They'll also make a Neapolitan shake (as will Wendy's, Fatburger, and McDonald's).
  • Lemon-Up:
  • You can wash everything down with a "Lemon-up," a mixture of Lemonade and 7-Up. So evidently, there are still ins and outs to uncover.

The Fat Fatburger

Fatburger
Fatburger has a few secrets in its bag of burgers too.

  • Spanish-style burgers & fries:
  • "Spanish-style" means a fried egg on top, and though who knows why you'd want to, you can order a burger or fries this way.
  • Hypocrite:
  • If you like your hypocrisy straight up, go ahead and order a "Hypocrite," or a Veggie burger, topped with Bacon. For bonus points, hold the mayo, order a diet coke and dump some sugar in.
  • Chili-Cheese Onion Rings:
  • For the real non-conformists among you, chili-cheese onion rings... Because chili cheese fries are so 2005. They'll also add more artery-clogging goodness to any burger in the form of a layer of fries, fat or skinny, sandwiched between the buns.

My personal favorite is a dirty chai at starbucks which has a shot of espresso added to a chai tea latte, tasting like a ginger snap. I have made filthy chais too which is two shots in a chai tea latte. Theyre rather popular.

I work at Starbucks, and a small hack for the "Iced Ghetto Latte", or "Old School" Americano is just ordering a Quad Espresso in a Grande Cup.
An Americano is 10 cents more expensive, and if you're asking for no water, might as well not pay for it. :)

McDonalds lets you get a double cheeseburger for $0.99, and add Mac sauce for free. Therefore you can make yourself a ghetto Big Mac for a fraction of the cost.

Every 3 months or so some idiot blog writer reads a random blog entry about "secret" menu items and decides to make their own list.

This list is hogwash, fake, nonsense. Go and try and order almost any of these by name alone and the minimum wage employee will cock their head to the side, and look at you as if you are speaking french.

Sure some of these items maybe real. But i bet most are either made up or taken from really questionable sources.

When I worked at starbucks, we'd make a drink called the Frog Killer.

Over ice, 12 shots of espresso, 12 pumps of creme de menthe, fill to the top with half and half. Not recommended for people with heart issues.

JPark says:

at in-n-out you can also get:
neopolitan milkshake- strawberry, vanilla and chocolate in one cup

fries cooked three ways: regular, light (tastes more like a potato), and well done (extra crispy like a potato chip).

extra meat and cheese: a double-double is two meat, two cheese. so if you add numbers in different ways, you get different combos of meat and cheese. (ex. four by two = four meat, two cheese).

"extra toast" on burger: the bun is toasted longer on the grill (my favorite secret menu item).

It's hardly original but I'm a big fan of the McSurf and Turf. Quarter pounder with cheese with a Filet-o-Fish patty and tartar sauce on top. Word of caution though the price depends heavily on the crew member (some of them seem to ring it well; others not so well.) yummy junk food

Missed the best for in-n-out, the three by three, four by four, etc. Like a double double just extra meat and extra cheese. Best part is it can be ordered to any size, my record is 23 by 23 as we had a record in my frat of who could eat the largest while also finishing animal fries and a large shake.

My mother-in-law wanted to order an "animal style" burger at In-and-Out, but she couldn't remember the lingo and asked for it "doggie style" instead. The clerk asked her to repeat it, and then announced it in the PA system, after which the entire restaurant took a 5 minute laugh break.

Grant says:

With the exception of In-N-Out (whose secret menu is well-known) and Kogi (I've never had their food), I think it'd be hit and miss asking for those items. For instance, I used to work at Jamba Juice, and no one at my branch would've knew how to make those drinks. I think a more common term for the shot of espresso in a cup of drip coffee is "depth charge". I've asked for this at Starbucks and other cafes, and they usually understand what I mean.

before 2002 when they switched to the infamous automatic espresso machines at Starbucks you could order a Doppio Longo. It was 2 Shots of espresso and then another run of hot water through the used grinds. Kind of like a weak Quattro Espresso or a very short Americano.

Magda says:

At Starbucks we actually tend to get annoyed when people order "secret" drinks. A red eye is really just a single [size] brewed coffee, a black eye is a double [size] brewed coffee, and it's much more efficient and way less annoying to order it that way, since slang terms tend to change from place to place. Half the time when people ask for a red eye, they actually want two or more shots. Best just to ask for what you actually want.

As for the ghetto lattes, yeah, we know how to make them, we just hate you when you order them and pretend we don't know what you mean. That's why when you order an iced triple venti espresso the barista packs that cup full of ice, pulls the shots over them to melt the ice as much as possible, and then packs the cup full to the top with more ice. Enjoy your watery ghetto latte, you cheap bastard.

For those McDonald's fans - here in Australia theres also the "Mighty McMuffin" which is 1 sausage patty, bacon, egg, double cheese.

Pretty much just a bacon & egg mcmuffin and a sausage & egg mcmuffin combined.

A few Maccas around Perth have a button preconfigured on their registers for this meal

Blake says:

Unfortunately... at In-N-Out we are only allowed to go up to 4x4 now because people would order a 15x15 then complain that we had no way to package it properly.

As a someone noted above... the flying dutchman definitely does not come with a bun... or that would just be a double double plain.

Animal style also includes adding fried mustard, in addition to the mentioned adding of pickles, grilled onions, and increasing the amount of spread.

We also have veggie burgers (grilled cheese-the cheese), and few people know that you can request chilies to be sliced up and put onto the burger.

Chris says:

I work at Subway, and while there are no "secret sandwiches," if you happen to be helped by someone who has worked at the restaurant for a little while, in many cases you still have the option of ordering promotional sandwiches that have since disappeared from the menu. In most cases, the promo limited time subs just use things we have already. Chicken Pizziola, Steak & Bacon Melt, Chicken Marinara Melt... Don't complain if your pizziola isn't rang up as a $5 footlong though. In the case of our store, I just try to match it to the closest menu item, which would be the price of a chicken bacon (just subbing pepperoni for bacon).

Other things are actually limited time and ingredients do disappear.

Order a spicy Italian with more pepperoni instead of salami and get marinara on it instead of paying more for a pizza sub.

brianfromoregon says:

an iced americano with no water isn't an americano, it's just shots of espresso with ice. the name "ghetto iced latte" doesn't make any sense either since there's no 2% added to it. i am with magda on this one, although i don't work at a starbucks, but at a rival coffee shop. nothing is more annoying than condescending customers who think it makes them sophisticated when they have pointlessly convoluted drink orders. magda is also right about the slang terms being different from place to place. so when some jackass orders something not on the menu trying to be sauve, i always have to ask them to break it down because 4 times out of 5 they're ordering something completely different than what they actually want.

just be aware that if the person you're ordering from isn't sure about your swanky "secret menu order" chances are they'll make whatever they think it may be. why would someone working in food services for minimum wage give a rats ass if your order isn't right?

Taco Bell: Ask for the "Dirty Sanchez".
Wendy's: Ask for the "Angry Pirate".
Weinerschnizel: Ask for the "Cleveland Steamer" or the "Hot Carl".

jojojenkins says:

brianfromoregon they should care for one reason. they have a job, the customer is always right. nothing pisses a customer off more than being lied to, talked down to, ignored, and many other things. another one that gets me is when the employees expect you to give them a friggin tip. they made you a coffee woopie friggin doo. or maybe grabbed you a donut or sandwich. look at real wait staff in my area of the usa they get paid 2.63/hr plus tips. at a coffee shop or fast food shop they get paid min wage. that is a lot more than a regular wait staff. if you dont like your jobs people then quit. you have no right to complain. if i were your bosses and saw these comments you would be fired with a black mark on your employment history for no one to hire you with direct access to the public.

just remember "THE CUSTOMER IS "ALWAYS" RIGHT"

If you walk up to a BK and order a Suicide, but are met with a blank face, that's probably because a Suicide isn't a burger, it's a mixture of all of the sodas from the fountain.

There may be a BK "secret" menu item called that, but Suicide drinks have been around since the old-timey soda shops, so you're more likely to get someone who knows that one. /shrug

it is so annoying when people feel like they can cheat the system by ordering things like a double espresso over ice in a large cup so they can make their own ice latte using the milk at the counter. those are the people that usually don't tip. i've gotten pretty good at spotting those people and charging them for what they are really getting and not what they are saying. and people should remember that people in the service industry always remember people who do shitty things like that. ALWAYS.

Nobody has mentioned it yet, so I will:

In N' Out also offers a secret item called 'Whole Grilled Onion'. If you order it, instead of chopped grilled onions, you get a solid slice of onion, grilled. I like it more than normal grilled onion; it's such a rare secret item that it's almost always hot off the grill, whereas the grilled onions often sit for quite a while.

Also, Fries well done. They were mentioned before, but I just want to reiterate: they're awesome.

At McDonald's, you can order an "All-American Meal" which is about the size of a kids meal, if not, a little bigger. It comes with a burger, fries, and a drink--all for cheaper than a kids meal.

People don't order "Ghetto Iced Lattes", the barista's call them that. People will order ~3 shots of espresso in a large iced cup then walk over to the condiment bar to fill it to save some money so the barista will think "what a douche, can't afford a real latte so he gets a ghetto ass iced latte". Nobody would order it that way.

Marinara too. now they have the pineapple cream pie out but be careful because they freeze it til it sells and when i worked there it didnt sell very well so sometimes it would sit there for a few years.

Any burger will do. As long as it serves very well and can really make me get a big bite.
