Off-the-Menu Items at Fast-Food Chains
Wired hips us to a few "cheat codes" for chains, like In-N-Out Burger's Flying Dutchman (two beef patties, two cheese slices, no bun) and Starbucks' Red Eye (drip coffee with a shot of espresso).

I was a (very poor) barista about 12 years ago. The locals in our small Wyoming outpost of drip snobbery liked a cup of brewed coffee with a shot of espresso. They called it a "Shot in the Dark". So, probably not the most hippest thing to come out of wired.

Starbucks will make a puppuccino for your dog (a cup of whipped cream).

Burger King will make a "rodeo burger" topped with an onion ring and barbecue sauce. At least I think those are the ingredients - my boyfriend is a big fan but I've never tried it.

The link they provide to the "badmouth" site with all the In-n-Out secret menu stuff describes the patties x cheese ordering format then go on to specially include 3x0 and 2x0 additionally? Why?
Isn't the Burger King "rodeo burger" you describe there a Carl's Jr/Hardees regular menu burger?

My fav not-on-the-menu drink (Starbucks and many cafes) is the Dirty Chai - Chai latte with a shot of espresso. Cuts the sweetness and adds the jolt of caffeine.
