L.A.'s Best Off-Menu Items According to Local Diners

As evidenced by the obsession with the crazy off-menu items at In-N-Out, Angelenos love a secret menu. But billionaire Lynsi Torres isn't the only one with some tricks up her sleeve. Other restaurants in L.A. have insider-only items on their menus, and they've just been outed.
EaterLA asked some of their readers for their favorites in a recent poll, and a few in-the-know foodies responded.
Some of the off-menu highlights include M Cafe's loaded burger -- which comes with fake bacon, cheese, special sauce, and avocados, and comes with chili cheese fries. Then there's Huckleberry's secret Egg Huck McMuffin, made with a maple bacon biscuit, eggs, bacon, and maple syrup.
Another secret that was revealed was Bottega Louie's secret concierge phone number (213-802-1490), which'll help you skirt the long waits both on the phone with the reservationist and at the restaurant. They also talk about the "the delicious (and off-menu) tiramisu at Cecconi's."

Some of our personal favorite off-menu items are the black forest custard shake at Short Order and the Thai burger at Jitlada. Any items that you don't mind outing?
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
