===Secret menu===
Another phenomenon is the so-called [[Menu hack|secret menu]] where some fast food restaurants are known for having unofficial and unadvertised selections that customers learn by [[word of mouth]],<ref>{{cite news |last=Goodale |first=Gloria |title=At fast-food joints, try the secret menu |journal=Christian Science Monitor (Boston) |publisher=Christian Science Monitor |date=October 19, 2007 |url=http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1019/p13s01-lifo.html |location=Boston |issn=0882-7729 |access-date=May 29, 2009 |archive-date=February 16, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090216142713/http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1019/p13s01-lifo.html |url-status=live }}</ref> or by looking them up online. [[Fast food restaurant]]s will often prepare variations on items already available, but to have them all on the menu would create clutter. This can also occur in high-end restaurants, which may be willing to prepare certain items which are not listed on the menu (e.g., dishes that have long been favorites of regular clientele). Sometimes restaurants may name foods often ordered by regular clientele after them, for either convenience or prestige.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}} At some fast food restaurants, "secret menu" items exist which were once part of the regular menu but are no longer advertised. These items may still be rung up as a regular menu item, and are assembled from ingredients that are still in use in other menu items.
