Shhh…Secret Menu Items
Not content ordering from the menu? Need to have that extra little bit of class that comes from “knowing the chef”? Secret menus refer to items you can special order at restaurants that aren’t mentioned on standard menus. Some places, like Chipotle Mexican Grills, have a whole secret menu that’s limited only by your imagination. On the other hand, In-N-Out Burger’s secret menu” is so not a secret it’s posted on their Web site. Kind of takes the cool factor out of having the inside scoop, doesn’t it? Remember, not all may participate in the hidden menu. However, if you try to order something and the server looks at you with a blank look, don’t give up. Describe the dish and usually they’ll make it for you anyway.
Chipotle
Chipotle will make you any combination of ingredients they have available to them. Listed below are some of the favorites.
- Nachos – Made with tortilla chips, your choice of salsa and meat, beans, and topped with a layer of cheese.
- Quesadilla – These come in two sizes, the children’s size which is made with two soft taco shells layered with your choice of fillings, or the full size which is a normal burrito tortilla folded in half with your choice of fillings. You can get a side of salsa or sour cream for no additional charge with these.
- 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.
Dairy Queen

- Jack and Jill Sundae – A classic sundae with marshmallow and hot fudge.

In–N–Out Burger

- Monster Mac – A big Mac composed of 8 meat patties.
- 2 Cheese Burger Meal Mac – Two cheese burgers, fries and a drink.
Starbucks – With the large variety of different Starbucks franchises it is important to know what’s in any hidden menu drink you order. Many should know these options however, since they are not all the same just remember the ingredients in case they do not know and they will be happy to make the drink for you.
- Biscotti Frapuccino – This is a typical frapuccino but it has a biscotti blended inside. You will have to purchase the biscotti separate when you are checking out, but you can have it in any flavor frap.

- Black Eye – This drink has 2 shots of espresso in regular drip coffee.
- Green Eye – This drink includes 3 shots of espresso in regular drip coffee.
- Poor Mans Latte – We recommend you do not tell your Barista you are planning on creating this drink when you order. Order an iced Americano with no water and half ice, then use the free milk on the side to mix it up to your standards.
- Poor Mans Chai Latte – Same recommendation as above applies here. Order a Chai Tea Misto with extra foam, two tea bags, and half cinnamon and half vanilla syrup.

Summer Reading Fun
Long Summer days getting you a little restless? Tired of the summer reruns on the television? Long before computers, ipads, and televisions the primary form of entertainment came about through books! So this summer, when you find yourself lounging around, why don’t you pick up one of these suggestions from your local library or bookstore. Here is our team’s list for top 5 summer readings…
Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens – This novel combines a rollicking, biting sense of humor with nuanced psychological insights that feel surprisingly modern in their attitudes toward women. The title itself is an ironic joke: Successful businessman Paul Dombey neglects and mistreats his daughter, Florence, the true “son” of the title, until both his business and their relationship are nearly ruined.
East of Eden by John Steinbeck – The novel highlights the conflicts of two generations of brothers; the first being the kind, gentle Adam Trask and his wild brother Charles. Adam eventually marries Cathy Ames, an evil, manipulative, and beautiful prostitute; she betrays him, joining Charles on the very night of their wedding. Later, after giving birth to twin boys, she shoots Adam and leaves him to return to her former profession. In the shadow of this heritage Adam raises their sons.
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien – The novel begins in the shire, as Frodo Baggins inherits the Ring from Bilbo. Both are unaware of its origin, but Gandalf the Grey, a wizard, learns of the Ring’s history and advises Frodo to take it away from the Shire. Frodo leaves, taking his gardener and friend, Samwise Gamgee, and two cousins, Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, as companions. After leaving the Forest, they stop in the town of Bree, where they meet Aragorn, Isildur’s heir, who joins them as guide and protector.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho –Details the journey of a young Spanish shepherd named Santiago. Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he’s off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream. Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman.
Kings of the Earth by Jon Clinch – Three elderly, semiliterate brothers live in squalor on a ramshackle dairy farm in central New York. They barely wash, their coveralls are splattered in cow manure, and their tiny house is a fetid mess. Strangest of all, they share a bed—and on a summer night one dies from what the local medical examiner calls strangulation.
We would love to hear from you, please send in your reviews! Also, submit suggestions for other summer reading books to marketing@ernstandhaas.com, if we use your review or summer reading suggestion, you might receive a small gift!
