Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2: More Amazing Clones of Famous Dishes from America's Favorite Restaurant Chains
by Todd Wilbur
Wilbur, who's made a small cookbook empire deconstructing chain restaurant favorites, here introduces 150 new recipes from such well-loved eateries as The Cheesecake Factory, Chili's, Outback Steakhouse and Waffle House.
 

Restaurants

All phone numbers are in the 408 area code.

On selected restaurant link descriptions I have added Weight Watcher point value links from Dottie's Weight Loss Zone.

If you're hungry for a taste of the real thing, food that hasn't been filtered and watered down for the masses, to the edge you must go. Some of the region's most exciting eating is found on the periphery in places like Fremont, Newark and Milpitas.

Especially Milpitas.

~ Stett Holbrook, Metro
