Red Robin Restaurant Recipes Revealed – How to Copycat Your Favorite Red Robin Menu Item!

Ok, I am going to admit it. I have a few guilty pleasures that I don’t like the world to know, but I am pretty sure that I’m not the only one, and I would like to be able to help others. Every once in a blue moon I get the craving for Red Robin. Not the fries so much as the burgers. But their burgers are so expensive. But with a few little changes, I can make my favorite burger at home.

The first thing you need to do is find out what ingredients go on your burger. You can find out that information on the internet. If they claim that something in their recipe is a secret, chances are, with a little digging you are going to find it. Most of the time the big secret is you can buy it on any grocery shelf. Once you know what it is you need, it’s just a matter of figuring out how they put the darn thing together.

Hit up Red Robin and before you enjoy it, open it up. What goes where, write it down, take a picture with your cell phone, whatever you need to do so you will remember and have a reference point when you make it yourself. Most of the time, it is fairly obvious, but if you want it to be just right, it is worth this step.

If you aren’t sure about something, don’t be afraid to ask. A lot of the time the staff will spill trade secrets, not because they are trying to hurt the business, but most of the time they are young, and may not understand fully the whole concept of trade secrets.

Once you know what you need and how it goes together, head to the grocery store and pick up the ingredients. If you are concerned about calories, you can change things up. Use a veggie burger patty instead of a meat patty. Or use a low calorie option for sauces. Most importantly, when you cook it, you can cut out a lot of the grease and fat. Not only will you satisfy the Red Robin craving, you may have even shaved off a few calories.

And to help get you started, here is the recipe for Red Robin’s famous seasoning.

Ingredients:

- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon instant tomato soup mix
- 2 teaspoons chili powder (don’t over do it with this spice)
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (try to use fresh pepper corns)

Good luck copying your favorite Red Robin recipes!

Must- Try Subway Cookie Recipe

For those who have given Subway a try, two things that customers will always remember about the place are the healthy sandwiches and the delicious cookies. While it is quite easy to duplicate the recipe for the Subway sandwiches as you can see the preparation processes as you order, the Subway cookie recipe can be a big mystery. As a result of its addictive taste, people have gone home, trying to replicate the recipe based on its taste. While we outsiders would not know the recipe, here is one recipe that is almost similar to the Subway cookie recipe’s taste.

For this soft chocolate chip cookie, there are several things that you will need. What you will need is 2 cups of self-raising flour, 170g melted butter, 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar, half a cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 cups of dark chocolate chips. Do note that you can alter the recipe or ingredients like macadamia nuts to suit your own personal preference. This recipe will come up to 18 servings. The preparation process will take about 10 minutes, while the cooking process will take about 15 minutes.

Begin the preparation process by preheating the oven to 165 degrees Celsius. Then, line two cookie trays with baking paper, and then sift the flour before setting it aside. Next, you can add the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar together into a medium sized bowl until it mixes well and becomes a creamy texture. Then, with the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk, beat them until the mixture becomes light and creamy, and then mix them with the previous mixture. Add the flour that was set aside earlier, mixing them well. Once that is done, you may finally add in the chocolate chips, or whatever ingredients you would like, stirring them using a wooden spoon. You can then use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and drop them on the cookie trays with plenty of space for the dough to spread. After that, you may bake them for approximately 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until you see the edges become lightly toasted. Leave to cool on the baking sheets before you transfer them over to the wire racks so they may proceed to cool. You can serve them while they are still hot, or you can keep them in an air tight container or plastic bag so that they will stay soft and moist, even later on.

Outback Recipes

Decorated with an Australian Outback theme, Outback Steakhouse is a great place for the whole family to eat.

Although beef and steak items make up a good portion of the menu, the concept offers a variety of chicken, ribs, seafood, and pasta dishes. Restaurants display Aboriginal art, boomerangs, Australian maps, and other Aussie themed decor.

The menu continues the Outback theme with items like Kookaburra Wings, Walkabout Soup, and Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie, among many others.

Every day they start out fresh, making every one of their Aussie soups, salad dressings and sauces from scratch.

As part of Operation Feeding Freedom, Outback Steakhouse has been involved in feeding our military troops stationed in Afghanistan. Over a number of trips, they have fed our brave American, Canadian and British soldiers involved in combat operations over there.

The Operation Feeding Freedom menu featured signature dishes such as the Outback Bloomin’ Onion, Bonefish Bang Bang Shrimp, and Fleming’s Calamari. Also served were thick and juicy steaks, potatoes, Carrabba’s signature pastas, Bonefish Longfin Tilapia with Lobster Thermidor Sauce and Roy’s Beef Short Ribs.

 

>>> And now here is their most popular meal of all – OUTBACK MARINATED STEAK WITH SAUTEED MUSHROOMS & AUSSIE FRIES…

 

–Outback Steakhouse Steak Marinade–

1-2 pounds of steak – Sirloin, T-bone or rib steak

c. beer or ale

2 t. brown sugar

1/2 t. seasoned salt

1/4 t. each- black pepper and MSG

Let the steak marinate in the beer for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Mix the dry ingredients together well.

After marinating, sprinkle the dry mix over the steak. Rub it all over the steak. Let the steak sit in the refrigerator another thirty minutes.

Put a pat of butter on the grill. When it’s very hot, add the steak. Cook to desired doneness.

Grilling tip: When grilling steaks, they will be much better if you let them come to room temperature first before grilling.

 

–Outback Steakhouse Sauteed Mushrooms–

1/2 c. chopped onions

3 T. butter or olive oil

1 can beef broth

32 oz jar button whole mushrooms, or fresh mushrooms

1/3 cup red wine.

Saute onions in butter or olive oil until translucent.

Add beef broth and onions ito a saucepan. Simmer on low about 15 minutes.

Add mushrooms with juice from jar and wine. Simmer additional 15 minutes.

 

–Outback Steakhouse Aussie Fries–

1 lb. bag of Frozen French Fries

1 Cup shredded Colby Jack cheese

6 pieces of Bacon, cooked

24 Fl. Oz. Peanut Oil

Heat oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermostat, make sure the oil is hot enough, so that when you set a french fry in there it will cook immediately. If the french fry sinks to the bottom, and barely bubbles, it is not hot enough.

Fry the potatoes in small batches, they are done when they are golden brown, and float to the top of the skillet. Be sure to drain the potatoes on paper towels. You can keep them warm in the oven while the other fries are done.

When all french fries are done cooking, and drained place them onto a platter.

Salt the french fries if you like, and sprinkle on cheese and cooked bacon. Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese begins to melt.

>>Dipping Sauce:

1/2 C. Sour Cream

1 Tbsp. Prepared Horseraddish

dash Cayenne Pepper

dash Salt

dash black pepper

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

 

Or try…

–Outback Steakhouse Queensland Chicken and Shrimp–

1/2 C. milk

2 Tbsp butter

1/2 pint cream

1/4 tsp poultry seasoning

1/8 – 1/4 tsp cayenne (adjust to taste)

1/8 tsp white pepper

1/8 tsp onion powder

1/2 C. white wine

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1 lb. linguine

4 chicken breasts

8 oz shrimp

1 Tbsp olive oil

Mortar spices well. Put cream and milk in pan with butter and 1/2 spice mixture. Thicken and reduce, and set aside.

Cook linguine to the al dente stage. Sauté chicken breasts with wine and remaining spices until done. Remove and set aside. Sauté shrimp in pan, adding wine if necessary.

Serve each breast on a bed of linguine with shrimp. Cover with sauce.

 

–Outback Kookaburra Wings–

1/4 C. butter

1/3 C. Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce

1 to 1 1/2 tsp. taco seasoning (Old El Paso is great)

1 to 1 1/2 tsp. Good Seasons Italian Salad Dressing Mix

Oil for frying

20 wings

Heat butter, sauce, and seasons over medium heat until all flavors are well blended. Fry wings for 10 minutes or until done. Toss wings and sauce together while wings are still hot.

 

Dig In and Enjoy, Mate!

Chipotle Restaurant Recipes Revealed

If you want to know how to copycat Chipotle restaurant recipes, this article will show you how!

Any of the mouth-watering meals that you pay a decent amount for can easily be made in your own home for a fraction of thecost. Here are some tips that can help you recreate your favorite dish:

1. In some cases, the restaurant will have the recipe available for purchase, whether it be online or in the restaurant itself. Simply asking a waitress can get you the recipe, maybe even for free.

2. You can also play a guessing game and try to figure out, for yourself, what the meal consists of. Get takeout and invite some friends over who know their food. Then eat and throw some ideas around about what goes into each dish.

A lot of the time, the menu tells you the main ingredients that go into the dish. Write down everything that is on the menu and take it home with you. You can even take a picture of the food so you know what it is supposed to look like when you are done preparing it. This is a good technique because often times we will forget main ingredients and this will show you everything that is in the meal.

If you are a regular at the restaurant, you can always make friends with the waitress and ask her what goes into the meal.

3. If you find it hard to get the recipe, try asking your friends or other people at the restaurant how they think the food is made. Complimenting the chef on his cooking might also allow you to obtain a recipe.

4. A lot of the time, chefs will have cooking classes that you can take for a price. During the class you will be able to see how the chef cooks the food; you will also be able to taste it at the end. Make sure that you take notes as to what spices and ingredients go into the dish as they will not be written down and handed to you.

And to get you started, here is a recipe for Chipotle’s Red Hot Salsa:

Ingredients:

10 to 20 grams dry Arbol chiles (choose based on desired heat)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 cloves
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, toasted
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon Mexican organo
pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients, except for the oil in a blender. Blend on low speed
for around ten seconds.

2. Very slowly drizzle the olive oil into blender while still on low speed.

3. Chill salsa for at least one hour before serving.

Fabulous Chili’s Restaurant Recipes

CHILI’S GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS
4 racks of baby-back pork ribs
SAUCE
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon hickory flavoring liquid smoke
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Make the barbecue sauce by combining all of the ingredients for the sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
When it comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer sauce, stirring often, for 45 to 60 minutes or until sauce is thick.
When you’re ready to make the ribs, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Brush sauce over the entire surface of each rack of ribs.
Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and arrange the packets on a baking sheet with the seam of the foil facing up.
Bake for 2 to 2½ hours or until the meat on the ribs has pulled back from the cut ends of the bones by about ½ inch.
When the ribs are just about done, preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.
Remove the ribs from the foil (careful not to burn yourself- the liquid inside will be hot!) and grill them on the barbecue for 4 to 8 minutes per side or until the surface of the ribs is beginning to char.
Brush sauce on both sides of the ribs a few minutes before you remove them from the grill.
Just be sure not to brush on the sauce too soon or it could burn.
Serve the ribs with extra sauce on the side and lots of napkins.

CHILI’S BONELESS BUFFALO WINGS
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 chicken breast fillets
4-6 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup hot sauce (Crystal or Frank’s Louisiana)
1 tablespoon margarine
On the side
bleu cheese salad dressing (for dipping)
celery rib

1. Combine flour, salt, peppers and paprika in a medium bowl.
2. In another small bowl, whisk together egg and milk.
3. Slice each chicken breast into 6 pieces.
4. Preheat 4-6 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
5. One or two at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend; then repeat the process so that each piece of chicken is double-coated.
6. When all chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes.
7. When the chicken is done resting, drop each piece into the hot oil and fry for 5-6 minutes or until each piece is browned.
8. As chicken fries, combine the hot sauce and margarine in a small bowl.
9. Microwave sauce for 20-30 seconds or just until the margarine is melted, then stir to combine.
10. You can also use a small saucepan for this step.
11. Just combine the hot sauce and margarine in the saucepan over low heat and stir until margarine is melted and ingredients are blended.
12. When chicken pieces are done frying, remove them to a plate lined with a couple paper towels.
13. Place the chicken pieces into a covered container such as a large jar with a lid.
14. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the container, cover, and then shake gently until each piece of chicken is coated with sauce.
15. Pour the chicken onto a plate and serve the dish with bleu cheese dressing and sliced celery on the side.

CHILI’S SOUTHWESTERN EGGROLLS
1 chicken breast fillet
1 Tbs vegetable oil
2 Tbs minced red bell pepper
2 Tbs minced green onion
1/3 cup frozen corn
¼ cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 Tbs frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 Tbs diced canned jalapeño peppers
½ Tbs minced fresh parsley
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
¾ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
5 x 7″ flour tortillas
For avocado-ranch dipping sauce
¼ cup mashed fresh avocado
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 Tbs buttermilk
1 ½ tsp white vinegar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp dried parsley
1/8 tsp onion powder
1 dash dried dill weed
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash freshly-ground black pepper
For garnish :
2 Tbs chopped tomato
1 Tbs chopped onion

1. Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.
2. Rub the chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill it on the barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done. Lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken while it cooks. Set chicken aside until it cools down enough to handle.
3. Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper and onion to the pan and sauté for a couple minutes until tender.
4. Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan. Add the corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeño peppers, parsley, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Cook for another 4 minutes. Stir well so that the spinach separates and is incorporated into the mixture.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.
6. Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1½ minutes or until hot.
7. Spoon approximately one-fifth of the mixture into the center of a tortilla. Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over the mixture. Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a toothpick to hold together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have five eggrolls.
8. Arrange the eggrolls on a plate, cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best.
9. While the eggrolls freeze prepare the Avocado-Ranch Dipping Sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
10. Preheat 4 to 6 cups of oil to 375°F. Deep-fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 12 to 15 minutes and remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.
11. Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a small bowl of the dipping sauce. Garnish the dipping sauce with the chopped tomato and onion.

KFC Recipe In Your Own Kitchen

 So how many childhood memories do you have from chowing down on those crispy drumsticks? Alot, I bet. I can’t count how many picnics, family reunions, backyard campouts, and baseball games just wouldn’t have been the same without a bucket of KFC. And how many times did you order chicken from other restaurants, wondering why it tasted nothing like your favourite chicken? I mean, how hard can it be to make all fried chicken taste equally good? What can it possibly be that they use in their recipe that the others don’t? And this special secret ingredient - how come the other restaurants don’t simply add it to their chicken so that we can all enjoy the same great flavour from any restaurant we go to? Really, how difficult can this be?

Well, difficult it has been. Colonel Sanders knew how to keep a secret. Otherwise known as Harland David Sanders (1890 – 1980) went travelling at the age of 66 to promote his chicken franchise. His baggage included 25 white suits, a collection of seasonings, and a pressure cooker. His second wife, Claudia, stayed at home and sent the secret seasonings, already mixed, to the franchises so that nobody could find out the ingredients or measurements. He lived until the age of 90 in 1980.
Since then, various labs have been analyzing the batter and cooking process. Here is what some of them found:
It was necessary to start the cooking at 400 degrees F. This provides a high enough temperature that browns the coating quickly. Chickens weighing around 2 1/4 and 2 1/2 lbs are best. They can be cut into 8 or 10 pieces. About eight quarts of oil at 400 degrees F is needed for a regular 5 lb batch.
A pressure cooker was used because this technique would combine steam from the moisture in the coating, thus cooling the cooking temperature to 250 F. If the temperature remained at 400, the chicken would just burn. After a couple of minutes the heat is turned down to 250 F for the duration of cooking. This style of cooking with the steam and pressure prevents the normal moisture loss in the chicken. It takes about 10 minutes total cooking time. At this point the pressure was released and the chicken was drained and placed in a warming oven at 160 F until purchased.
It was believed that the original recipe contained many herbs and spices, but by the 1980′s, the recipe was much simpler. The chicken pieces were dipped in a mixture of skim milk and eggs, then rolled into flour with only salt, pepper, and msg (for flavour)

Here is a copy cat recipe for the seasoning from the original recipe before 1980 that is so close that nobody can tell the difference:

Combine 1 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp of dried basil, 1 tsp of oregano powder, 1 tsp of powdered sage and mix together in a bowl. Add 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp dried marjoram, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and finally, 2 tbsp Accent (msg-based seasoning). Add this seasoning mixture to 2 cups of flour. Dip the 8-10 chicken pieces in the milk-egg mixture and then roll them in the seasoned flour mixture. Deep fry in pressure cooker for 10 minutes at 400 F.
