Successful recreation of restaurant food at home

[LimestoneOutcropping]

Pretty sure I just nailed the BK chicken sammie with heavy mustard and onions.

Anyone else pulled this type of accomplishment off?  Feel free to post your recipe.

Anything over 5 ingred had better be mind blowing.

I make this a lot.  Pretty simple.  Tastes the same as the restaurant.

If someone can make an exact recreation of a barbacoa burrito, I'll pay you to be my personal chef.

It's a fine chicken sam.   Don't be such a plaza snob.

Red Lobsters Cheddar Biscuits. Don't look quite the same, but taste is pretty close.

It's usually cheaper to just go get it at the place that makes it.  Quicker too. 

[jeffy]

I have a recipe for Chipotle rice, but I haven't tried it yet.

I think I figured out the mexi ranch sauce from Applebees. Hard to get the proportions right though.

[ThreeHolePunch]

I finally made the Raspberry Black Bean dip from So Long, it was so good I brushed my teeth with it. Tons of $hit recipes on the internet, so you have to play around with the ingredients and proportions but well worth the effort.

Tried to make the Resist Temptation one time, it was a disaster. I cried myself to sleep thinking I had ruined my taste buds for that burger.

I got nothing.

Can make the sausage, egg and cheese panini breakfast sandwich from Panera. Also, can make an improved version of Carabba's sangria.

Wish I could make the firecracker chicken wraps from longhorn and the tiramisu from whole foods (can make preeeetty good tiramisu, but not whole foods good).

[MOKSUAZ]

Resist Temptation - love my homemade ones, it's really not that hard to fry an egg in bacon grease.
Campfire Sauce from Red Robin - simple but yet amazing
Jack Stack Cheesy Corn - lots of ingredients, but the recipe makes a lot of food so it's worth it.

Want to try - Buffalo Blasts from cheesecake factory, spicy honey mustard wings from the native new yorker (loved this place when i lived in AZ), any deep dish from Paxti's in San Fran, this chocolate mousse thing i got at a restuarant in Santa Cruz  .

Houston's Spinach Artichoke Dip

http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/1730/Houstons-Spinach-and-Artichok86208.shtml

Some Key points to make it taste kick ass:

1. You can't skimp on the quality cheese. Monterey Jack. Not the cheap Kraft crap. Go to the deli.

2. Heavy Cream and Real Butter

3. just the right amount of garlic

[nicname]

Not restaurant recreations but I have two suggestions.

1. The "world's gretest sandwich" from spanglish.

2.  The "cochinitas de pibil" from once upon a time in Mexico.

So good, so easy ... given the right ingredients. What brand of cheddar do you use?

Sargento Vermont Sharp White Cheddar is what I reach for in this situation. Nice taste, nice price.

Spot on, brother. Once you figure out the sausage patty (I recommend starting with the Italian seasoned pork sausage), the hardest part is slow cooking the egg.
