Sounds kind of like Torchy's Tacos, which is a popular and tasty taco chain here in Austin

"Most dishes will be prepared in-house, in glass-enclosed kitchens that allow guests to see meat grilling or tacos in the works — though a few ingredients will come from outside suppliers, like the Texas smoked brisket or Southern pulled pork," NRN reports.
Nice work.

Just learned that Mountain Dew Baja Blast, until now available only at a Taco Bell near you, is now to be available at retail outlets!
I look forward to putting this even more oddly-colored liquid into my body in the comfortable confines of home and office.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_Chef
Burger Chef was popular and spread across both the West Coast and the East Coast, eventually becoming second only to McDonald's in terms of number of locations. They offered a signature double-burger called the Big Shef, and later the quarter-pound hamburger Super Shef. Subsequently, they pioneered the "Works Bar", where customers could dress their hamburgers with condiments and vegetables exactly as they wanted. The "Works Bar" required that customers now order their hamburgers "with" or "without". "With" hamburgers were dressed by the kitchen staff and "without" were dressed by the customer.

Wait, the place is called 'Burger Chef', but their burgers are called '<something> Shef'. Do they think their clientelle is that unworldly that they can't pronounce "chef"? Do they pronounce their business name with a hard 'ch' sound?

There's one older lady in my office who brings in the flatizzas. We comment on it in the lunchroom every time. She insists they're a great deal.

The seasonings: Garlic Parmesan, Zesty Ranch and Spicy Buffalo. But here's the rub: You don't buy the fries pre-seasoned. Instead, they come with special packets of seasoning that consumers are advised to open, pour and shake into a specially made mixing bag. Imprinted on the bags: "Seasoned fries. Shake your taste buds."
^^^ I could imagine this making them have better taste/texture but man does that sound like a pain (plus extra wasteful packaging - a mixing bag?).

Is it really a "secret menu" item if you're just ordering a bunch of shit off the regular menu and swapping the meat patties around?

yes, you ordered your fries with all of the condiments mixed together + some onions slapped on top. you are a true patron of the secret good restaurant in-n-out burger.

How is buying a bunch of different shit and assembling it yourself a 'secret' menu item? Like, I've thought about putting a quarter pounder inside a whopper, is that a secret McD's/HJ's(BK's) menu item that?
Anyway, more interested in some of the things here. Apparently the "iconic" restaurants of each state.
