How come super chefs are not aware of the secret recipes of famous restaurants?
How come famous chefs like Racheal Ray, Giada, Nigella and others can’t figure out the secret recipe of Mcdonald’s or KFC by tasting only??
It’s the Chef Code of Honor that they don’t reveal recipes. I’ve had to sign contracts stating that I would and could not give out any recipe for the Company/ Corporation that I was employed by. This is how they make their money by spending years of testing and research trying to figure out their best recipe to sell to the public. It’s the same for Beer,Wine, Pizza’s,Etc. You might have a chance at getting close to the recipe by looking at the ingrediants, but its trial and error from there on out. It come down to the kind of person you are. If your best friend told you to keep a secret and not to tell anyone, would you?

Why would they WANT their food to taste like McDonald’s or KFC??? I’m not sure that those qualify as a famous restaurant – lol……

Because they are human! I would think they would be able to give some of the ingredients included, but wouldn’t be able to be specific. Their taste buds will be more sensitive than the ordinary joe on the street, but even so!

They can. Actually, almost anyone can.
BTW, RayRay, Giada and Nigella are NOT chefs. A chef has had charge of a professional kitchen. These women are television coks.
