Menu Description: "Grilled chicken breast with Portobello mushrooms, smoked mozzarella and demi glace, with a spinach orzo pasta."
Fire up the grill for this take on one of Romano's most popular entrees. After you grill a couple portobello caps, slice them thinly at an extreme angle to make wide slices that fit perfectly on top of grilled chicken breasts that have been rubbed with stone ground mustard (the kind with the whole mustard seeds in it). Romano's delicious demi glace is made from reduced veal stock, but a nice substitute can be made from a combination of canned beef broth and chicken broth. With plenty of garlic, rosemary and thyme in there, the aroma of sauce simmering on the stove will make everyone in the house drool.

Update 1/25/17: If your demi glace is too thin add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken.

I'm looking forward to making this again really soon. The kitchen smelled great while it was cooking and the flavor was just as amazing.

This is one of the most difficult dishes I have made but the result is worth it! This dish is absolutely beautiful with the red peppers and spinach to color the orzo. And since Macaroni Grill no longer offers this dish in my area I will be making it again. Great job Todd it looks and tastes just like the original.

Romano's Macaroni Grill Chicken Scaloppine
Menu Description: "Chicken breast, mushrooms, artichokes, capers & smoked prosciutto in lemon butter with pasta."
Mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and prosciutto in a creamy lemon butter sauce surround sauteed chicken breasts and angel hair pasta for this unique and satisfying take on a traditional dish. This clone ranks in the top three most requested recipes on my hit list from the 227-unit Romano's Macaroni Grill. The successful Italian chain is part of the Brinker group of restaurants that controls several other high-profile casual eateries including Border Mexican Grill, Maggiano's, and Chili's.
Carrabba's Chicken Marsala
Menu Description: "Fire-roasted chicken breast topped with mushrooms, prosciutto and our Florio Marsala wine sauce."
To reverse-engineer this big-time favorite entree, I ordered the dish to go, with the sauce on the side, so that I could separately analyze each component. After some trial and error in the underground lab, I found that recreating the secret sauce from scratch is easy enough with a couple small cans of sliced mushrooms, a bit of prosciutto, some Marsala wine, shallots, garlic and a few other good things. Cooking the chicken requires a very hot grill. The restaurant chain grills chicken breasts over a blazing real wood fire, so crank your grill up high enough to get the flames nipping at your cluckers (not a euphemism) for this Carrabba's chicken marsala recipe. If your grill has a lid, keep it open so you can watch for nasty flare-ups.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Order an entree from America's largest seafood restaurant chain and you'll get a basket of some of the planet's tastiest garlic-cheese biscuits served up on the side. For many years this recipe has been the most-searched-for clone recipe on the Internet, according to Red Lobster. As a result, several versions are floating around, including one that was at one time printed right on the box of Bisquick baking mix.
The problem with making biscuits using Bisquick is that if you follow the directions from the box you don't end up with a very fluffy or flakey finished product, since most of the fat in the recipe comes from the shortening that's included in the mix. On its own, room temperature shortening does a poor job creating the light, airy texture you want from good biscuits, and it contributes little in the way of flavor. So, we'll invite some cold butter along on the trip -- with grated Cheddar cheese and a little garlic powder. Now you'll be well on your way to delicious Cheddar Bay. Wherever that is.
Benihana Japanese Fried Rice
The talented chefs at Benihana cook food on hibachi grills with flair and charisma, treating the preparation like a tiny stage show. They juggle salt and pepper shakers, trim food with lightening speed, and flip the shrimp and mushrooms perfectly onto serving plates or into their tall chef's hat.
One of the side dishes that everyone seems to love is the fried rice. At Benihana this dish is prepared by chefs with precooked rice on open hibachi grills, and is ordered a la cart to complement any Benihana entree, including Hibachi Steak and Chicken. I like when the rice is thrown onto the hot hibachi grill and seems to come alive as it sizzles and dances around like a bunch of little jumping beans. Okay, so I'm easily amused.
This Benihana Japanese fried rice recipe will go well with just about any Japanese entree and can be partially prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until the rest of the meal is close to done.

Olive Garden Chicken Scampi
Menu Description: "Chicken breast tenderloins sauteed with bell peppers, roasted garlic and onions in a garlic cream sauce over angel hair."
This dish is a big favorite of Olive Garden regulars. Chicken tenderloins are lightly breaded and sauteed along with colorful bell peppers and chopped red onion. Angel hair pasta is tossed into the pan along with a healthy dose of fresh scampi sauce. If you're cooking for two, you can prepare this dish for the table in one large skillet, saving the remaining ingredients for another meal. If you're making all four servings at once, you need two skillets. If you can't find fresh chicken tenderloins (the tender part of the chicken breast), you can usually find bags of them in the freezer section.
Panera Bread Spinach Artichoke Baked Egg Souffle
Panera Bread's Baked Spinach and Artichoke Egg Souffle reminds me of a breakfast Hot Pocket, if a Hot Pocket tasted really good. With eggs, cheese, spinach, and artichoke hearts baked into a buttery crust, this super-cool presentation will earn you big bonus points from your crew in the a.m. And the best part about this copycat Panera spinach souffle recipe is you won't stress out over making the dough from scratch since you use premade Pillsbury Crescent Dough that comes in a tube. Just be sure when you unroll the dough that you don't separate it into triangles. Instead, pinch the dough together along the diagonal perforations to make four squares. After the dough is rolled out, line four buttered ramekins with each square, fill each ramekin with the secret egg mixture, and bake.

P.F. Chang's Mongolian Beef
Menu Description: "Quickly-cooked steak with scallions and garlic."
Beef lovers go crazy over this one at the restaurant. Flank steak is cut into bite-sized chunks against the grain, then it's lightly dusted with potato starch (in our case we'll use cornstarch), flash-fried in oil, and doused with an amazing sweet soy garlic sauce. The beef comes out tender as can be, and the simple sauce sings to your taste buds. I designed this recipe to use a wok, but if you don't have one a saute pan will suffice (you may need to add more oil to the pan to cover the beef in the flash-frying step). P. F. Chang's secret sauce is what makes this dish so good, and it's versatile. If you don't dig beef, you can substitute with chicken. Or you can brush it on grilled salmon.
P.F. Chang's Chang's Spicy Chicken
Menu Description: "Lightly-dusted, stir fried in a sweet Szechwan sauce."
The delicious sweet-and-spicy secret sauce is what makes this dish one of P. F. Chang's top picks. Once the sauce is finished all you have to do is saute your chicken and combine. You'll may want to cook up some white or brown rice, like at the restaurant. If you can't find straight chili sauce for this recipe, the more common chili sauce with garlic in it will work just as well.
Olive Garden Sicilian Scampi
Menu Description: "Large shrimp sauteed in extra-virgin olive oil with white wine, garlic and lemon."
Once you have the onion, garlic and parsley all chopped up, this clone of a top appetizer pick at the Olive Garden takes only a few minutes to assemble. Cooks at Olive Garden speed up the process by using what they call "scampi butter"—chilled blocks of butter with all the spices, garlic, and onions already in it—so that each serving is prepared quickly and consistently without any tedious measuring. When the shrimp is done, each one is placed on the inside end of five toasted Italian bread slices (you can also use a French baguette) and a delicious sauce is poured over the top. I've included diced roma tomato here as an optional garnish, since one Olive Garden used it, but another location on the other side of town did not. As for the shrimp, use medium-size (they're called 31/40) that are already peeled, but with the tails left on. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing almost all the way through the middle. As the shrimp cooks, they will curl and spread open.
Scampi lovers will also enjoy my clone recipe for Olive Garden Chicken Scampi. You can snag that recipe here.
Sabra Classic Hummus
Every brand of hummus I've tried over the years has been just so-so in taste and texture, until I discovered Sabra. Now this ultra-smooth hummus—which has been rated number one in a blind taste test—is the only hummus in my fridge, unless I've made this clone. Hummus is an awesome snack as a dip for vegetables or pita chips, since it's rich in protein, soluble fiber, potassium, and Vitamin E. The secret to duplicating Sabra's smooth and creamy quality is to let your food processor work the stuff over for a solid 10 minutes. Also, don't use all of the liquid from the can of garbanzo beans or the hummus will end up too runny. Strain off the liquid first, then measure only 1/2 cup back into the food processor. Sabra uses canola and/or soybean oil, but you may think olive oil tastes better. Look for a jar of sesame tahini in the aisle where all the international foods are parked, and while you're there find the citric acid, which may also go by the name "sour salt." The clone below will not have the proper acidic bite without this secret ingredient, and citric acid also works as a preservative to help the leftover hummus stay fresh and tasty.
Panera Bread Broccoli Cheddar Soup
The easy-melting, individually-wrapped Kraft Cheddar Singles are a perfect secret ingredient for this Panera Bread broccoli cheddar soup recipe that's served at this top soup stop. In this clone, fresh broccoli is first steamed, then diced into little bits before you combine it with chicken broth, half-and-half, shredded carrot, and onion. Now you're just 30 minutes away from soup spoon go-time.

Carnegie Deli Classic New York Cheesecake
Carnegie Deli's huge pastrami sandwiches were selected as the best in New York by New York Magazine in 1975, but it's the cheesecakes, which can be shipped anywhere in the country, that really put this famous deli on the map. The secret to accurately cloning a traditional New York cheesecake is in creating the perfect not-too-sweet sugar cookie crust and varying the baking temperature so that you get a nicely browned top before cooking the cheesecake through. Get ready for the best deli-style cheesecake to ever come out of your oven.

Panda Express Mandarin Chicken
This dish from the rapidly growing Chinese food chain satisfies anyone who loves the famous marinated bourbon chicken found in food courts across America. The sauce is the secret, and it's quick to make right on your own stovetop. Fire up the barbecue or indoor grill for the chicken and cook up a little white rice to serve on the side. Panda Express—now over 700 restaurants strong—is the fastest-growing Asian food chain in the world.
Update: Recently, Panda Express took this item off their menu and replaced it with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken. The only way to enjoy this now Dead Food is to clone it.

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Fillet Sandwich
When sales of this once limited-offering sandwich exceeded expectations, Wendy's made it a permanent menu item. Now you can re-create the spicy kick of the original with a secret blend of spices in the chicken's crispy coating. Follow the same stacking order as the original, and you will make four sandwich clones here at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.
Long John Silver's Batter-Dipped Fish
Jerrico, Inc., the parent company for Long John Silver's Seafood Shoppes, got its start in 1929 as a six-stool hamburger stand called the White Tavern Shoppe. Jerrico was started by a man named Jerome Lederer, who watched Long John Silver's thirteen units dwindle in the shadow of World War II to just three units. Then, with determination, he began rebuilding. In 1946 Jerome launched a new restaurant called Jerry's and it was a booming success, with growth across the country. Then he took a chance on what would be his most successful venture in 1969, with the opening of the first Long John Silver's Fish 'n' Chips. The name was inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. In 1991 there were 1,450 Long John Silver Seafood Shoppes in thirty-seven states, Canada, and Singapore, with annual sales of more than $781 million. That means the company holds about 65 percent of the $1.2 billion quick-service seafood business.

Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken
Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken and Biscuits has become the third largest quick-service chicken chain in the world in the twenty-two years since its first store opened in New Orleans in 1972. (KFC has the number-one slot, followed by Church's Chicken). Since then, the chain has grown to 813 units, with many of them overseas in Germany, Japan, Jamaica, Honduras, Guam, and Korea.
Cayenne pepper and white pepper bring the heat to this crispy fried chicken hack.

HoneyBaked Ham Glaze
By sneaking around to the back of a HoneyBaked Ham store I witnessed the glazing process through an open door. The hams are delivered to each of the 300 HoneyBaked outlets already smoked, but without the glaze. It is only when the ham gets to your local HoneyBaked store that a special machine thin-slices the tender meat in a spiral fashion around the bone. Then, one at a time, each ham is then coated with the glaze—a blend that is similar to what might be used to make pumpkin pie. This sweet coating is then caramelized with a blowtorch by hand until the glaze bubbles and melts, turning golden brown. If needed, more of the coating is added, and the blowtorch is fired up until the glaze is just right. It's this careful process that turns the same size ham that costs 20 dollars in a supermarket into one that customers gladly shell out 3 to 4 times as much to share during the holiday season.
For this HoneyBaked Ham glaze copycat recipe, we will re-create the glaze that you can apply to a smoked/cooked bone-in ham of your choice. Look for a ham that is pre-sliced. Otherwise you'll have to slice it yourself with a sharp knife, then the glaze will be applied. To get the coating just right you must use a blowtorch. Get the kind that is used for creme brulee from almost any kitchen supply store. They're usually pretty cheap. And don't worry—I didn't leave out an ingredient. No honey is necessary to re-create this flavorful glaze.
Now, what's for dessert?
Hard Rock Cafe Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Give this simple soup clone a shot and you'll never again want to eat chicken soup from a can. I designed this recipe to be easy, requiring chicken fillets rather than a whole chicken, and you won't need to create a stock from scratch.
Auntie Anne's Pretzels
The first Auntie Anne's pretzel store opened in 1988 in the heart of pretzel country—a Pennsylvanian Amish farmers' market. Over 500 stores later, Auntie Anne's is one of the most requested secret clone recipes around, especially on the internet. Many of the recipes passed around the Web require bread flour, and some use honey as a sweetener. But by studying the Auntie Anne's home pretzel-making kit in the secret underground laboratory, I've discovered a better solution for re-creating the delicious mall treats than any clone recipe out there. For the best quality dough, you just need all-purpose flour. And powdered sugar works great to perfectly sweeten the dough. Now you just have to decide if you want to make the more traditional salted pretzels, or the sweet cinnamon sugar-coated kind. Decisions, decisions.
Panda Express Orange Flavored Chicken
This delicious crispy chicken in a citrusy sweet-and-sour chicken is the most popular dish at the huge Chinese take-out chain. Panda Express cooks all of its food in woks. If you don't have one of those, you can use a heavy skillet or a large saute pan.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Barbacoa Burrito
Menu Description: "Spicy, shredded beef, braised with our own chipotle adobo, cumin, cloves, garlic and oregano."
The original Mexican dish barbacoa was traditionally prepared by cooking almost any kind of meat goat, fish, chicken, or cow cheek meat, to name just a few, in a pit covered with leaves over low heat for many hours, until tender. When the dish made its way into the United States via Texas the word transformed into "barbecue" and the preparation changed to incorporate above-ground techniques such as smoking and grilling. The good news is that we can recreate the beef barbacoa that Chipotle has made popular on its ginormous burritos without digging any holes in our backyard or tracking down a local source for fresh cow faces. After braising about 30 pounds of chuck roasts, I finally discovered the perfect Chipotle Mexican Grill barbacoa burrito copycat recipe with a taste-alike adobo sauce that fills your roast with flavor as it slowly cooks to a fork-tender delicacy on your stovetop over 5 to 6 hours. Part of the secret for great adobo sauce is toasting whole cumin seeds and cloves and then grinding them in a coffee grinder (measure the spices after grinding them). Since the braising process takes so long, start early in the day and get ready for a big dinner, because I've also included clones here for Chipotle's pico de gallo, pinto beans, and delicious cilantro-lime rice to make your burritos complete. You can add your choice of cheese, plus guacamole and sour cream for a super-deluxe clone version. If you prefer chicken burritos, head on over to my clone recipe for Qdoba Grilled Adobo Chicken.
Cheesecake Factory Chicken Madeira
Menu Description: "Our most popular chicken dish! Sauteed chicken breast topped with fresh asparagus and melted mozzarella cheese, covered with fresh mushroom madeira sauce. Served with mashed potatoes."
What makes this Cheesecake Factory's "most popular chicken dish" is the sweet madeira wine reduction sauce spooned over the top. Man, I could slurp that stuff straight from a glass. It's that good. And—get this—it's easy. Even though the real stuff appears to include veal stock, we can concoct a great knockoff using canned beef stock. Get sliced mozzarella cheese from your deli section and be sure to pound the chicken breasts very thin using plastic wrap to cover each one before you get medieval on it. Also, in typical Cheesecake Factory style, their entree is huge, including two chicken fillets and a giant pile of mashed potatoes on the side. This Cheesecake Factory Chicken Madeira recipe makes a total of four chicken fillets, which divides into two servings if you're at the restaurant. At home though, this is probably the perfect amount for a tribe of four.
Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup
This soup happens to be one of Chili's most raved-about items, and the subject of many a recipe search here on the site. Part of the secret in crafting your clone is the addition of masa harina—a corn flour that you'll find in your supermarket near the other flours, or where all the Mexican foodstuffs are stocked.
Benihana Japanese Onion Soup
Menu Description: "It takes half a day to make this perfect combination of onion, celery, carrot and garlic."
Before a skilled chef appears tableside to perform his culinary prestidigitation on the hot hibachi grill at Benihana, you're treated to a tasty bowl of chicken broth-based soup with fried onions, sliced mushrooms and green onions floating cheerfully on top. The restaurant menu claims this soup takes a half a day to make, but we can clone it in a fraction of that time using canned chicken broth (I use Swanson brand). This soup works great as a prelude to your favorite Asian dishes or other Benihana clones since it's so light and won't fill up anyone before the main course. I've included a simple technique here for making the breaded fried onions from scratch (for the most accurate clone), but you can skip that step by substituting French's canned French Fried Onions that are sold in most markets.
BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast
Menu Description: "Our marinated chicken breast coated with Parmesan cheese and crunchy panko breadcrumbs, lightly pounded and pan fried to a golden brown. Served with white cheddar mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli and topped with a lemon Chardonnay butter sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil and Parmesan cheese."
This re-creation lays out a great way to prepare that 4-pack of chicken breasts you dropped into your shopping cart. While you're at the market, head down the aisle where the Asian foods are parked and pick up some Japanese breadcrumbs, also called "panko" breadcrumbs. Combining these coarse breadcrumbs with shredded Parmesan cheese makes a crispy breading for the chicken that doesn't even need a sauce to taste good. Still, the lemony Chardonnay butter sauce used at the restaurant is cloned here too, so you'll have the complete flavor experience. You'll want to plan ahead a bit for this dish since the chicken fillets will need to marinate in the brine solution for 2 to 3 hours. This dish goes great with the clone recipe for BJ's White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes.
Bonefish Grill Bang Bang Shrimp
Menu Description: "Tender, crispy wild gulf shrimp tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce."
Bonefish Grill proudly refers to this appetizer as the "house specialty." And why not, it's an attractive dish with bang-up flavor, especially if you like your food on the spicy side. The heat in this Bang Bang Shrimp recipe comes from the secret sauce blend that's flavored with chili garlic sauce, also known as sambal. You can find this bright red sauce where the Asian foods in your market—and while you're there, pick up some rice vinegar. Once the sauce is made, you coat the shrimp in a simple seasoned breading, fry them to a nice golden brown, toss them gently in the sauce, and then serve them up on a bed of mixed greens to hungry folks who, hopefully, have a cool drink nearby to mellow the sting.
Boston Market Meatloaf
In the early 90's Boston Chicken was rockin' it. The home meal replacement chain's stock was soaring and the lines were filled with hungry customers waiting to sink their teeth into a serving of the chain's delicious rotisserie chicken. So successful was the chain with chicken, that the company quickly decided it was time to introduce other entree selections, the first of which was a delicious barbecue sauce-covered ground sirloin meatloaf. But offering the other entrees presented the company with a dilemma: what to do about the name. The bigwigs decided it was time to change the name to Boston Market, to reflect a wider menu. That meant replacing signs on hundreds of units and retooling the marketing campaigns. That name change, plus rapid expansion of the chain and growth of other similar home-style meal concepts sent the company into a tailspin. By 1988, Boston Market's goose was cooked, and the company filed for bankruptcy. Soon McDonald's stepped in to purchase the company, with the idea of closing many of the stores for good, and slapping Golden Arches on the rest. But that plan was scrapped when, after selling many of the under-performing Boston Markets, the chain began to fly once again. Within a year of the acquisition Boston Market was profitable, and those meals with the home-cooked taste are still being served at over 700 Boston Market restaurants across the country.
El Pollo Loco Flame-Broiled Chicken
El Pollo Loco, or "The Crazy Chicken," has been growing like mad since it crossed over the border into the United States from Mexico. Francisco Ochoa unknowingly started a food phenomenon internacional in 1975 when he took a family recipe for chicken marinade and opened a small roadside restaurante in Gusave, Mexico. He soon had 90 stores in 20 cities throughout Mexico. The first El Pollo Loco in the United States opened in Los Angeles in December of 1980 and was an immediate success. It was only three years later that Ochoa got the attention of bigwigs at Dennys, Inc., who offered him $11.3 million for his U.S. operations. Ochoa took the deal, and El Pollo Loco grew from 17 to more than 200 outlets over the following decade.
Roadhouse Grill Baby Back Ribs
Menu Description: "Our award-winning Baby Back Ribs are slow-roasted, then basted with Jim Beam Bourbon BBQ Sauce and finished on our Mesquite grill."
When your crew bites into these baby backs they'll savor meat so tender and juicy that it slides right off the bone. The slow braising cooks the ribs to perfection, while the quick grilling adds the finishing char and smoky flavor. But the most important component to any decent rack of ribs is a sauce that's filled with flavor, and this version of Roadhouse Grill's award-wining sauce is good stuff. I ordered the ribs naked (without sauce) so that I could see if there was any detectable rub added before cooking and I didn't find anything other than salt and a lot of coarse black pepper. So that's the way I designed the recipe, and it works.
Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili
In Zagat's 1995 New York City Restaurant Survey, Le Cirque 2000, one of the city's most upscale restaurants, received a 25 rating out of a possible 30. In the same guide, Al "The Soup Nazi" Yeganeh's Soup Kitchen International scored an impressive 27. That put the Soup Nazi's eatery in 14th place among the city's best restaurants for that year.
It was common to see lines stretching around the corner and down the block as hungry patrons waited for their cup of one of five daily hot soup selections. Most of the selections changed every day, but of the three days that I was there, the Mexican Chicken Chili was always on the menu. The first two days it was sold out before I got to the front of the line. But on the last day I got lucky: "One extra-large Mexican Chicken Chili, please." Hand over money, move to the extreme left.
Here is a hack for what has become one of the Soup Nazi's most popular culinary masterpieces. If you like, you can substitute turkey breast for the chicken to make turkey chili, which was the soup George Costanza ordered on the show.
Update 1/9/17: Replace the 10 cups of water with 8 cups of chicken broth for a shorter simmer time and better flavor. I also like using El Pato tomato sauce (recipe calls for 1/2 cup) for a bit more heat.
Outback Steakhouse Honey Wheat Bushman Bread
Along with your meal at this huge national steakhouse chain, comes a freshly baked loaf of dark, sweet bread, served on its own cutting board with soft whipped butter. One distinctive feature of the bread is its color. How does the bread get so dark? Even though this recipe includes molasses and cocoa, these ingredients alone will not give the bread its dark chocolate brown color. Commercially produced breads that are this dark—such as pumpernickel or dark bran muffins–often contain caramel color, an ingredient used to darken foods. Since your local supermarket will not likely have this mostly commercial ingredient, we'll create the brown coloring from a mixture of three easy-to-find food colorings—red, yellow and blue. If you decide to leave the color out, just add an additional 1 tablespoon of warm water to the recipe. If you have a bread machine, you can use it for kneading the bread (you'll find the order in which to add the ingredients to your machine in "Tidbits"). Then, to finish the bread, divide and roll the dough in cornmeal, and bake.
Wendy's Hot Chili Seasoning
The little red packets of viscous hot sauce at the fast food giant have a cult following of rabid fans who will do whatever it takes to get their hands on large quantities. One such fan of the sauce commented online, "Are there any Wendy's employees or managers out there that will mail me an entire case of Hot Chili Seasoning? I swear this is not a joke. I love the stuff. I tip extra cash to Wendy's workers to get big handfuls of the stuff." Well, there's no need to tip any Wendy's employees since now you can make as much as you want of the spicy sauce in your own kitchen.
The ingredients listed on the real Hot Chili Seasoning are water, corn syrup, salt, distilled vinegar, natural flavors, xanthan gum, and extractives of paprika. We'll use many of those same ingredients for our clone, but we'll substitute gelatin for the xanthan gum (a thickener) to get the slightly gooey consistency right, and for the natural flavor and color we'll use cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika and garlic powder, then filter the particles out with a fine wire mesh strainer after they've contributed just what the sauce needs.
This recipe makes 5 ounces of sauce—that costs just pennies to make—and it's just the right amount to fit nicely into a used hot sauce shaker bottle.
Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup
For two years after the first Olive Garden restaurant opened in 1982, operators were still tweaking the restaurant's physical appearance and the food that was served. Even the tomato sauce was changed as many as 25 times. It's that sort of dedication that creates fabulous dishes like this popular soup. It blends the flavors of potatoes, kale, and Italian sausage in a slightly spicy chicken and cream broth.
You've got the soup recipe, how about creating your own bottomless Olive Garden House Salad and Breadsticks? Find more of my Olive Garden clone recipes here!
Waffle House Waffles
Two friendly Atlanta, Georgia neighbors built the first Waffle House in 1955. With the dimpled breakfast hotcake as a signature item, the privately held chain grew into 20 Southern U.S. states. Today tasty food at rock-bottom prices, plus 24-hours-a-day service, makes Waffle House a regular stop for devoted customers any time of the day or night. And don't even think about referring to your server as a waitress—they're called "associates."
For the best clone of the 50-year-old secret waffle recipe you should chill the batter overnight in the fridge, just as they do in each of the restaurants. But sometimes you can't wait. If you need instant gratification, the recipe still works if you make the waffles the same day. Wait for at least 15 to 20 minutes before using the batter so that it can thicken a bit. That'll give you time to dust off the waffle iron and heat it up.
How about some homemade Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage to go with those waffles? Check out all of my famous breakfast copycat recipes here.
There's no chocolate in it. Or coffee. Or Coca-Cola. The ingredient rumors for the Skyline Chili secret recipe are plentiful on the Internet, but anyone can purchase cans of Skyline chili from the company and find the ingredients listed right on the label: beef, water, tomato paste, dried torula yeast, salt, spices, cornstarch, and natural flavors. You can trust that if chocolate were included in the secret recipe, the label would reflect it—important information for people with a chocolate allergy. All it takes to recreate the unique flavor of Skyline is a special blend of easy-to-find spices plus beef broth and a few other not-so-unusual ingredients. Let the chili simmer for an hour or so, then serve it up on its own or in one of the traditional Cincinnati-style serving suggestions (the "ways" they call 'em) with the chili poured over spaghetti noodles, topped with grated Cheddar cheese and other good stuff:
3-Way: Pour chili over cooked spaghetti noodles and top with grated Cheddar cheese.
4-Way: Add a couple teaspoons of grated onion before adding the cheese.
5-Way: Add cooked red beans over the onions before adding the cheese.

Cheesecake Factory Mini Crabcakes
The secret to great crab cakes starts with great crab. Freshly cooked blue crab is the crab of choice for these crustacean cakes, but you can often find high quality canned backfin blue crab in some stores. One such brand comes in 16-ounce cans from Phillips Seafood and is sold at Costco, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart and Vons stores. Once you've got the crab grabbed you need to pick up some panko. Panko is Japanese-style bread crumbs usually found near the other Asian foods in your market. The Factory uses a little bit of panko to coat each of these small crab cakes for a great, lightly crunchy texture. One order of this appetizer at the restaurant gets you 3 crab cakes; this recipe makes 6 cakes from 1/2-pound of crab. If you have a 1-pound can of crabmeat, you can save the leftover 1/2-pound for another recipe or double-up on this one. Any surplus crab cakes will keep for 24 hours in the fridge before you need to get them in a pan. Oh, and one other thing to remember when making crab cakes: be gentle. Don't stir the crab too much into the other ingredients. Rather, fold the mixture gingerly with a spatula to combine. You want any big chunks of tasty crab to stay as big chunks of tasty crab in the finished product.
I've duplicated many popular dishes from Cheesecake Factory. See if I cloned your favorites here.
Applebee's Bourbon Street Steak
Menu Description: "This succulent 10 oz. steak is jazzed up with Cajun spices and served with sauteed onions, mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes and garlic toast."
This Cajun-style dish is named after the famous street in the French Quarter in New Orleans, so you won't need any booze for this recipe unless it's for you to drink while you're making it. Plan to make this dish 12 to 24 hours in advance, so the steaks have time to soak up the goodness. This marinating time will also give the meat tenderizer a chance to do its thing, but don't go longer than 24 hours or the protein fibers may become so tender that they turn mushy. I used McCormick brand tenderizer, which uses bromelian, a pineapple extract, to tenderize the meat. Lawry's (Adolph's) meat tenderizer, uses papain from papayas, to tenderize the proteins, but this brand also brings other spices into the mix and will alter the flavor of your finished product. Both of these tenderizers contain a lot of salt so we won't need to include salt in the marinade formula.
Olive Garden Stuffed Chicken Marsala
Menu Description: "Creamy marsala wine sauce with mushrooms over grilled chicken breasts, stuffed with Italian cheeses and sundried tomatoes. Served with garlic mashed potatoes."
This recipe includes a marsala sauce that even marsala sauce haters will like. My wife is one of those haters, but when she tried this sauce, her eyes lit up, and she begged for more. Great, now I won't have to eat it alone.
Not only is Olive Garden's delicious marsala sauce hacked here (and it's easy to make), you'll also get the copycat hack for the chain's awesome Italian cheese stuffing that goes between the two pan-cooked chicken filets. Build it, sauce it, serve it. The presentation is awesome, and the flavor will knock their socks off.
Try this dish paired with my recent free clone of Olive Garden's Garlic Mashed Potatoes for the complete O.G. Stuffed Chicken Marsala experience.
Tootsie Roll Midgees
Even though this clone recipe duplicates the tiny bite-size versions of the candy, you're free to make yours any size you like. The technique here is a tweaking of the previous secret formula that was featured in Low-Fat Top Secret Recipes, and it includes several upgrades. I found that more cocoa, plus the addition of salt and butter to the mix improved the flavor. I also found that bringing your sweet bubbling mixture to the firm ball stage 250 degrees F (you do have a candy thermometer, right?), and then stretching and pulling the candy like taffy (fun!) as it cools, will give you a finished product more like the real deal.
Newman's Own Creamy Caesar Dressing
With over 100 million dollars given to charity since 1982, Newman's Own products have become an American favorite. One variety of the brand's dressings that really stands out is this exceptional Caesar salad dressing, probably the best commercial Caesar dressing on the market. Part of the secret for this special recipe is the inclusion of Worcestershire sauce. Not only does Worcestershire give your dressing the perfect flavor and color of the original, but the sauce is made with a fishy ingredient that's crucial for a good Caesar dressing: anchovies.
Red Lobster Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp
It's shrimp, it's bacon, it's cheese; what's not to like about this Red Lobster bacon wrapped shrimp recipe? It's one of the groovy appetizers on the Red Lobster menu, and now you can re-create it at your crib. Find some large shrimp, a wooden skewer or toothpicks, and cook the bacon about halfway to done before you begin. Mix up clones of Red Lobster's top secret seasoning and cilantro-ranch dipping sauce, and you're minutes away from a great appetizer or party finger food dish.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette
The original Mexican dish barbacoa was traditionally prepared by cooking almost any kind of meat goat, fish, chicken, or cow cheek meat, to name just a few, in a pit covered with leaves over low heat for many hours, until tender. When the dish made its way into the United States via Texas the word transformed into "barbecue" and the preparation changed to incorporate above-ground techniques such as smoking and grilling. The good news is that we can recreate the beef barbacoa that Chipotle has made popular on its ginormous burritos without digging any holes in our backyard or tracking down a local source for fresh cow faces. After braising about 30 pounds of chuck roasts, I finally discovered the perfect clone with a taste-alike adobo sauce that fills your roast with flavor as it slowly cooks to a fork-tender delicacy on your stovetop over 5 to 6 hours. Part of the secret for great adobo sauce is toasting whole cumin seeds and cloves and then grinding them in a coffee grinder (measure the spices after grinding them). Since the braising process takes so long, start early in the day and get ready for a big dinner, because I've also included clones here for Chipotle's pico de gallo, pinto beans, and delicious cilantro-lime rice to make your burritos complete. You can add your choice of cheese, plus guacamole and sour cream for a super-deluxe clone version.
P.F. Chang's Spicy Green Beans
Menu Description: "Stir-fried with Sichuan preserves, fiery chili sauce and garlic."
Here's an easy side dish that you can start a day or two before you plan to serve it. Planning ahead like this will allow the spicy Sichuan mixture some time to pickle in the salt and acids. When you're ready to cook, a high-heat saute is put on the beans, and in less than five minutes you've got yourself an impressive, flavorful side that goes great with a slew of entrees—Asian-style or not.
Cheesecake Factory Bang-Bang Chicken and Shrimp
Menu Description: "A spicy Thai dish with the flavors of curry, peanut, chili, and coconut. Sauteed with vegetables and served over rice."
This dish ranks very high among the most frequent entree clone requests from this growing chain's huge menu, and anyone who is a fan of Thai dishes falls in love with it. I dig recipes that include scratch sauces that can be used with other dishes. The curry and peanut sauces here are good like that. They can, for example, be used to sauce up grilled skewers of chicken or other meats, or as a flavorful drizzle onto lettuce wraps. But even though I've included the peanut sauce recipe from scratch here, you can take the quick route and save a little prep time by picking up a pre-made sauce found near the other Asian foods in the market. Since the sauce is used sparingly in a drizzle over the top of this dish it won't make a big difference which way you go. This recipe produces two Cheesecake Factory-size servings—which is another way of saying "huge." If your diners aren't prepared to process the gargantuan gastronomy and you're all out of doggie bags, you can easily split this recipe into four more sensible portions.
Carrabba's House Salad Dressing (Creamy Parmesan)
When Johnny Carrabba and his uncle Damian Mandola opened the first Carrabba's restaurant in 1986, they used a collection of their own traditional family recipes to craft a terrific Italian menu. You'll even find the names of friends and family in several of those dishes including Pollo Rosa Maria, Chicken Bryan, Scampi Damian and Insalata Johnny Rocco. Now you can easily recreate the taste of the delicious dressing that's tossed into the salad that's served before each Carrabba's entree. And you need only six ingredients. For the grated Parmesan cheese, go ahead and use the stuff made by Kraft that comes in the green shaker canisters. And if you don't have any buttermilk, you can substitute regular milk. Since it's so thick, this dressing is best when tossed into your salad before serving it, just like the real thing.
Cheesecake Factory White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake
Menu Description: "Our creamy cheesecake with chunks of white chocolate and swirls of imported seedless raspberries throughout. Baked in a chocolate crust and finished with white chocolate shavings and whipped cream."
Heres how to recreate a home version of the cheesecake that many claim is the best they've ever had. Raspberry preserves are the secret ingredient that is swirled into the cream cheese that's poured into a crumbled chocolate cookie crust. Yum. No wonder this cheesecake is the number one pick from the chain's massive list of cheesecake choices.
Cheesecake Factory Thai Lettuce Wraps
Menu Description: "Create your own Thai lettuce rolls! Satay chicken strips, carrots, bean sprouts, coconut curry noodles and lettuce leaves with three delicious spicy Thai sauces—peanut, sweet red chili and tamarind-cashew."
Cheesecake Factory's #1 appetizer is finally fauxed, and I've got every secret component for an impressive knockoff here in one recipe: delicious duplicates of the three amazing dipping sauces, perfect sweet-and-sour cucumber slices, and an easy coconut curry marinade clone for the chicken that also doubles as a sauce for the noodles. Get ready to blow everyone away when you unveil this build-it-yourself Thai-inspired lettuce wrap kit at the table. The final dish will serve twice as many people as the restaurant version, and you'll most likely have enough leftover sauces to serve it again if you want to get more chicken.
Popeyes Buttermilk Biscuits
In 2007 America's number one Cajun-style restaurant celebrated its 35th birthday with 1,583 stores worldwide. But Popeyes didn't start out with the name that most people associate with a certain spinach-eating cartoon character. When Al Copeland opened his first Southern-fried chicken stand in New Orleans in 1972, it was called Chicken On The Run. The name was later changed to Popeyes after Gene Hackman's character in the movie The French Connection. In addition to great spicy fried chicken, Popeyes serves up wonderful Southern-style buttermilk biscuits that we can now easily duplicate to serve with a variety of home cooked meals. The secret is to cut cold butter into the mix with a pastry knife so that the biscuits turn out flaky and tender just like the originals.

Commentaries on BSB's Public Bus Transport System
Date: July 19, 2016Author: Abdul Malik Omar 0 Comments
(pic courtesy of BT.com.bn)
BSBs public bus transport system is a key component of a city's development that requires attention by policy-makers and decision-makers in the country to enhance our nation's capacity to innovate and compete in the 21st century. The 'City in the Garden' concept set out by the BSB Development Master Plan team years ago serve as a timely reminder of the key commitments made by the government in improving the livelihoods of the Bruneian people in line with the national vision of 2035.
With the pressure on our economy to divest ourselves from Oil and Gas, the need to launch a public transport platform that would reduce the dependency of our people on using private transport seems pertinent as ever. Although the urgency is not felt by wider society today, it will be felt one day nonetheless. This article shall write about the latest initiatives by the government, observations on the bus transport system, recommendations in realising the 'City in the Garden Concept', a case as why the fund allocation to this area should be increased in the years to come, and general recommendations in improving the system.
Firstly, the latest initiatives by the government highlighted in the media nowadays should be commended and applauded. These initiatives born partly out of the "Land Transport Master Plan and Land Transport White Paper" include having the bus design competition, the free bus transport for Lumapas residents, an increase in bus connectivity to key points within and outside the city, the opening up of contracts for the private sectors to operate new buses and new routes, and the increased investments in improving the standard quality of buses are reflective to the key commitments made by the public sector in ensuing the people in the city would enjoy better standards of transport.
Based on the personal observations made, the writer found positive review given especially by our elderly citizens on these improvements. The air-conditioned buses with improved seatings and friendly bus staffs has made our elderly citizens' journey to the city to and from their Kampongs a lot more positive. They appreciate and thank the government for the improvements. As why the elderly are using these buses – to those who may be wondering – one has to consider that some of them are too old to drive themselves. Some of them also live on their own, meaning there is no one to drive for them. And with BSB considered their 'Gadong' or their place to hang out, socialise, and buy their groceries, these buses serve as their primary transport. The improvements made so far has made our local elderlies a lot happier and they appreciate such efforts.
Other major users of these buses include migrant workers who usually go to the city in the weekends to chill and hang out with their friends and/or family. Thus there is no surprise why in the weekends there is a lot of people gathered in the city's central bus station. As for weekdays, some of these migrant workers use the buses to go to their workplace. Some of them even have the bus drivers' mobile contacts to call them up to know as to when the drivers' bus would arrive. They call them not just within the city sometimes, but on other bus stops outside the city, such as in Kampong Rimba or in Kampong Lumapas, where information of when the next bus are lacking. There is nothing wrong with this system. In fact it is a good idea.
According to the "Land Transport Master Plan and Land Transport White Paper", the bus system in Brunei is formerly known as the 'Purple Bus'. The buses are are now multi-coloured. The system consists of six routes around the Brunei-Muara district and is run by five private operators using a fleet of 105 buses (there are other buses operating in Beliat) as of 2014. The cost per journey within the city is $1. There are twenty to twenty-five seats per bus, and usually journey in rounds of 7 to 10 depending on the location it is allocated to. Each bus could potentially transport around 200 to 250 people maximum per day. And based on this writer's interview with the bus attendant, a seven round journey for bus number 23 which travels from BSB to Lambak Kiri would only cost the bus $17 worth of diesel to fuel for the entire day's travel journey.
Contrast this to the average car in Brunei which would cost around $5 (a rough estimate) per day, which means the bus could save up to hundreds of dollars if not thousands in transportation or fuel costs daily if the seat capacity is fully utilised by the Bruneian public. Notwithstanding the hundreds of millions that could been saved by the public sector every year in fuel subsidies if people choose to use public transportation instead of using private transport. According to a government report, it cost the government $470 Million per year for fuel subsidy in 2011 alone. Then there is also potential to reduce traffic jam in the city.
Given the cost-saving and efficiency potential, as well as the government's initiatives in improving the bus transportation system, it would make sense that more of the Bruneian public would be using the transportation system. Unfortunately no. Speak to any youths today if take the public transport regularly, nine out of ten would say no. Based on my journey using the bus, I rarely find any youths in the buses – except few ones from Kampong Ayer going to Gadong who are already used to the system.
Most youths prefer using their own cars. I find this a major weakness in the system. For it is the youths themselves who would be using this transport in the next thirty years down the road, when Brunei's fortune would be totally different than it is today. This is the area that needs to be addressed. The questions that need to be asked are as follows: How can we change the youths' mindset to take the pubic bus system more often? How can we make it as if it is daily routine for them?
On another note, based on the reflections of my travels on many cities around the world, one of the drawbacks of the urban & city planning in Brunei is everything is too far away from each other. The major government agencies, schools, commercial areas, residential units, & postal departments are almost always not in walkable or cycling distance from each other. Everything is 'spread out' making not just bus transport but walking and cycling quite unattractive. In the effort to conserve our pristine green forestry and to reduce our carbon footprint in line with the 'City in the Garden' concept, may I suggest 'concentrating' every urban or city planning together into one or few areas of walking and cycling distance from each other?
In Paris, within a thirty to forty minutes walk radius from the Eiffel Tower this writer can already go to the major governmental departments, universities, major public parks, museums, and commercial complexes. In London, it is the same. Everything is in walkable and cycling distance. And if transport is needed, the bus and train transportation system is there in place to help the public to move around to point A to point B. The point is every major key governmental departments, commercial complexes, or famous or iconic tourist hotspots are concentrated together within a good radius. Every square mile is also utilised and maximised in the name of sustainable city development.
Next this article shall now give recommendations in the way forward in improving the general bus transportation system. First, it is about time for the government to create a new central bus station. The one in BSB is old and dark making it unattractive to our youths to use the public transportation system. Building a new central bus station would be best.
Next, may I suggest an increase in funds allocated to improving the public transportation system by 10% to 15% or more for next year. An increase in a few million dollars to improve the bus transportation system is nothing compared to $470 million already being spent on car subsidies in 2011 alone. This investment in improving transportation system which would ultimately reduce our dependency on Oil and Gas usage would thus be in the long-term interest of our nation and people. An investment in the form of securing new quality buses from the 105 figure to more than 200 buses would be a good example.
Next there should be an increase in awareness for our people to use the transportation system. First and foremost there is nothing to be embarrassed about using the bus. Even the Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan use the public transportation system to go to work. So experiment on using the bus. This goes out especially to the youths. Try it once. Then slowly you will build the confidence in using the bus and hopefully make it routine. The government can also hold public competitions which would involve participants to use buses or any of the other transport systems so as to build awareness on the usage of public transport.
Finally, there has to be an increase in knowledge or expertise exchange between Bruneian BSB officials with other officials from other major cities. Remember the advise from Sultan Bolkiah the 5th, go outside the nation to learn from the best and then come back with what you learn and bring those improvements into the nation. This advise applies to the youths, civil workers, and anyone who is interested in realising the 'City in the Garden' concept. We have the existing ASEAN networks we can tap into after all. Just go hold an appointment with the team in Jakarta or KL or Davao or any major cities we can learn from, send your delegation there, sign an MOU to exchange ideas or technologies, and bring that ideas or technologies back to improving the state of BSB city. There is nothing wrong to learn from one another. Any existing efforts in these areas should be intensified.
To conclude, there has been massive improvements made into the heart of the public transport system of BSB recently that should be commended and applauded. The effort should be intensified especially by involving and engaging the youths to utilise the public transport system. There is also the need to create a new central bus station to make it attractive and appealing for the youths and general people to utilise it. Brunei Darussalam has the finance to do it. Better to invest with the money we have today rather than thirty years down the road when things will be vastly different. Better to increase the allocation of funds to improve the bus transport system in the city. It will not hurt to shift the hundreds and millions of dollars spent on Oil and Gas subsidy into something like this system which will ultimately reduce our nation's dependency on Oil and Gas, as well as to increase the competitiveness of the city and nation.

What does It Take to Write Good Speeches?
Being a student you have probably run into the necessity of writing a speech. Almost every student has got to do it at least several times during the studies. However, if you have ever tried to write good speeches, you probably could notice that it is not an easy task. It's not like writing an essay. It is much more complex. It is not a secret that even very good speakers, well-known public speakers often have their speeches written by professional speech writers.
So, even if you are lucky enough and have received one of the good speech topics to prepare a speech on, you still need to be ready for a lot of work. This work is not limited to the research you need to make in order to be able to compose your speech. Good speeches need to be written according to certain standards. After you are done working on the materials and preparing arguments and facts for your speech, you need to know that it's just the beginning of the process. There is a lot to be done yet.
Now you need to find out everything there is to know about the types of speeches. It would be good if you could get a hold of a sample of speech to look through. It is even better for you to have several samples. Now, you can start writing. Never forget about the structure.
How nice it really would be if you were able to get rid of this work. However, it is compulsory to have your persuasive speech oncertain subject written by the deadline, and the deadline is approaching. To be quite honest, this speech writing process all together is pure waste of time. It's useless for you. Yes, you will gain the skills of speech writing, but, firstly, those skills will be far from being professional. Secondly, you will never need those skills in your life. So, why waste your precious time on something you will never need? The answer is obvious, but not to your professor. Well, the whole curriculum is such that it's nearly impossible to avoid useless activities. Your professor needs to teach you how to write speeches just in case you need it in your life.
However, you don't have to do it in case you are sure that speech writing is not something you will need in your future. In order to make your life easier and save your time and effort, Prime-Essay.com has come up with an excellent service.

The Texas native is hardly alone—his fierce independence has won him countless fans and critical acclaim over the course of 20 years, 24 albums and a dozen different record labels. Watson's latest album, Call Me Insane, includes 13 original tunes that find a common bond in what Watson has coined Ameripolitan—a genre that encompasses honky-tonk, Western swing, rockabilly and outlaw influences.
As one of four boys growing up in a poor but musically rich family in Pasadena, Texas, Watson began writing songs at 12. A few years later he was sneaking into local honky-tonks to see his brother's band. Watson got his first taste of performing when the band's singer unexpectedly walked off stage mid-set, and he was instantly drafted as a substitute. At 26, Watson moved to L.A. and landed a gig in the house band for the famed Palomino Club before relocating again to Nashville to write for a publishing company. Even his first album, 1995's Cheatin' Heart Attack—which included the industry dig, "Nashville Rash"—couldn't hide his disdain for commercial country music, and he later moved to Austin where he found the creative freedom he craved.
"I've always been inspired by my surroundings and what's happening to me," says Watson, 52. "Life is always throwing something new at you. That's why real country music never got old, because it was always talking about things that were going on at the time. It's always fresh.

Late Night with Seth Myers features Jonathan's 1984 Forbes interview with "John Barron"
This Segment first appeared on May 8th, 2019 on the Late Show with Seth Meyers.
Late Night with Seth Myers featured Jonathan's 1984 Forbes interview with Donald Trump. Trump, as his fictitious persona "John Barron" proceeded to tell Jonathan a series of lies on topics ranging from his wealth to his relationship with his father, Fred Trump. These lies helped Trump secure a spot on the first Forbes 400.
Seth Meyers: Now we already knew Trump was a liar and that Trump was a cheat, who had a series of spectacular business failures, but these returns are from earlier in his life in the 80's and 90's when he was touting himself as a business genius and one of the most successful men in America. I mean in 1987, while he was losing all of this money, he literally wrote The Art of the Deal. Based on how bad he is a deals I'm surprised the cost of that book wasn't I Pay You $20 if You Take One.During this ten year period Trump was actively building the myth that he was a self-made success, while in reality he was a massive failure who lost more money than any other American taxpayer.
For example, you might remember that in the 80's and 90's Trump pretended to be a spokesperson for himself, named Jon Barron, who would call various media outlets and brag about Trump's success. For Example, here is Donald Trump calling a reporter at Forbes pretending to be John Barron. Specifically he was trying to convince the reporter that assets that belonged to his father, Fred Trump, were actually his now. And while he was at it he also bragged about how close he was with his father.
Recording of John Baron interview plays
Donald Trump: John Barron. Let me tell you what the deal is just so you understand. Mr. Trump, first of all, most of the assets have been consolidated to Mr. Trump, you know, because you have down Fred Trump. But ut I think you can really use Donald Trump now and you can just consolidate it.
Seth Meyers: He used a fake name to call up a reporter and brag about how much his father loves him. Man I would say the dude needs therapy, but I don't think he can afford it. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe he can just use a fake name and be his own therapist. In Trump voice: "And how does that make you feel, Donald.?" "I feel smart Dr. Barron." "You are smart, Donald. That'll be $200. "Uh…. Can I owe you?"

Marco 625 Souwester Review | Peninsula Marine Ltd.
The Marco 625 Sou'wester was added to the already extensive Marco range to fill a much needed gap in the line up. Barry Thompson checks out the second boat built.
One of the real neat things about this job is I get to go to a lot of interesting places to carry out boat reviews and some are surprisingly very close to home. So when I headed to Thames recently to meet Alan Thompson of Peninsula Marine to take the new Marco 625 Souwester for a run, I assumed I would be boating in the muddy waters at the bottom of the Firth of Thames. Not so, as Alan took us back inland to the very small village of Turua, on the banks of the vast flowing and equally as brown Waihou river. It was one of those calm mid-winter days with an almost cloudless sky, with very little wind, but a cold chill in the air. Being in a hardtop boat was perfect.
The Waihou River was formerly named, Thames River, by Captain James Cook, but later changed to Waihou river. The river flows north for 150 kilometres from the Mamaku Ranges past the towns of Putaruru, Te Aroha, and Paeroa, before reaching the Firth of Thames at the south end of the Hauraki Gulf near the town of Thames. Near the entrance is the famed Kopu Bridge that until the new one was opened a few years ago, was the scene of massive traffic holdups every summer. The old bridge remains alongside the new one and as yet no one has decided what to do with it. In its lower reaches, the river and the nearby Piako River form the wide alluvial Hauraki Plains. It is navigable for small boats as far as Paeroa, 20 miles from the coast.
While Marco Boats have been building the Souwester 600 (LOH 6.00m) and the Souwester 650 (LOH 6.50m) for some time, there has until now being nothing to fit the gap between. However, while the Marco 625 Souwester is pitched in the middle, it's more aligned to the 600, being similar in design, albeit a little longer, wider and with a marginally shallower vee.
Put the two side by side and the only noticeable difference is the cockpit of the Marco 625 Souwester, which is 250mm longer than the 600. Both boats retain the same flat sheerline, hardtop and internal layout. They are also able to be transported on single-axle unbraked trailers and require no more than 115hp to achieve good performance. The 650, on the other hand, is overall a much bigger boat, requires a larger horsepower outboard and needs a tandem trailer and a bigger tow vehicle. Consequently is into a whole different budget bracket.
You are paying around an extra $NZ???? for the added cockpit space. Personally I think it is well worth it and that extra length gave the Marco 625 Souwester a more balanced look.
The 650, on the other hand, is overall a much bigger boat and needs a tandem trailer and a bigger tow vehicle. Like the 600, the hull bottom 5mm and the sides 4mm, with everything CAD designed, precut by a Hamilton based company and then pressed and assembled by Marco Boats at their Morrinsville factory.
On the water, the performance is very similar between both boats, with our test boat, only the second 625 built, powered by a Mercury 115 Optimax. The Marco 625 Souwester does carry a slightly wider beam – 2.29m, compared to 2.28m for the 600 Souwester and the deadrise is 15 deg, whereas the 600 is 16 deg. Hardly anything that is going to make a difference to the performance and handling. The extra waterline length certainly provides the Marco 625 Souwester with a longer surface to slip easily onto the plane and extra underwater surfaces always help when the water's roughen up.
We had less than an hour till high tide so the river was running very fast, which meant for the speed runs it was necessary to take an average both ways. The difference was quite noticeable with around 2.5mph difference.
Average top end with the Mercury 115 Optimax, running a 19" 3bld Vengeance prop, was 40.5mph. I found a nice cruise speed around 4000 rpm @ around 26.5 mph, when the Mercury Smartcraft guage indicated we were using 17 lph. At our peak of 5600 rpm we burned around 38 lph. This dropped back very quickly to 28 lph @ 5000 rpm and 36 mph.
While testing a boat this size on calm water didn't give me much of a chance to comment on its rough water handling, I did like the positive response to the helm in the calm and the lack of excess heel in full turns. Hardtops are susceptible to wind and the Marco 625 Souwester is no different. With no tabs fitted I opted for the 'poor man tabs'; I got my passengers to move to the other side of the cockpit. Worked perfectly and cost nothing!
From the rear of the helm and passenger seats forward, the layout of the 525 is identical to the 600, with the same Sandbrook curved glass screen and alloy hardtop. This is a boat you can drive standing or seated, although I would like to have seen a sliding seat base to locate the best driving position. Controls and instruments are readily to hand and bracket, or flush mounted screens have good spaces for easy viewing while driving. I was impressed with the exceptional clarity through the curved tempered glass screen. You have the option of a fixed wiper, or I find giving the screen a good coating of Rainex does a great job. Sliding side 2windows are an option.
Finding something unique in a boat this size and style is always hard, but Marco have got a little winner in the 625 with their fold down bunks. If you are pitching the Marco 625 Souwester boat as an overnighter, but the cabin berths are only 1.5m long, what do you do. Simple, hinge the bottom half of the cabin's rear bulkheads and extend that to 2m. The backrest acts as the extended squab cushion and the helm and passenger seat footrests double up as support brackets. Very cool, very simple and makes perfect sense on a small boat.
Another interesting feature of the Marco 625 Souwester, was the way in which the sub frame for the vee berths is all pre cut and folded and then tack welded to the chequered plate flooring, which extends right through to the bow.
There is limited storage under squabs and in side trays, with a larger access hatch to the foredeck area for anchoring. A portable or plumbed head can be fitted under the forward squab and if you like your privacy, a curtain or more solid door arrangement can be added to the aft bulkhead. There is provision made for an auto capstan, with plenty of fall in the anchor locker for a rope chain combo.
One of the main reasons to extend the 600 Souwester was to increase the fishing space in the cockpit and this certainly noticeable. Yourself and three mates will not feel crowded. While the standard boat comes with a full transom, you do have the option of a wide walkthrough. Our boat had a port side walkthrough with drop in sliding rear splash panel and a couple of extra large So Pac hatches covering storage and battery areas.

Burnley to sell former Bristol City and Leeds United target Matej Vydra - reports
The Robins are known to be on the hunt for a new striker
Matej Vydra of Derby County celebrates scoring a goal to make it
Bristol City and every other ambitious Championship club will have been put on high alert today following the news former golden boot winner Matej Vydra will become available again this summer.
The Robins and Leeds United were heavily linked with Vydra last summer as the former looked to find a replacement for Bobby Reid who joined Cardiff City.
In the end the Czech Republic international, now 27, made a big-money move from Derby County to Premier League Burnley with Lee Johnson's City side signing Andreas Weimann from the Rams and Mo Eisa from League Two Cheltenham Town instead.

Eisa, 24, did not work out at Ashton Gate and made just six appearances without scoring and City cut their loses this summer, selling him for a profit to League One side Peterborough United who have been long-term fans of the forward.
City head coach Johnson has previously stated he is looking for an additional forward to support record signing Famara Diedhiou up front. The Senegalese striker finished with just 13 goals last season.
The Sun on Sunday reports Burnley will sell Vydra and Nahki Wells to raise funds for new strikers at Turf Moor next season.
Vydra will certainly attract plenty of interest. In 2017/18 he was the Rams' player of the year and Championship golden boot winner, just ahead of Reid at City.

But the Czech international forward has struggled at Turf Moor, making just three Premier League starts and only hitting two goals in 17 outings in all competitions.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche is said to be keen on Birmingham City's Che Adams and West Bromwich Albion's Jay Rodriguez as potential upgrades.

Mt. Ashland Ski Area to open one lift Friday
By Thomas Moriarty Mail Tribune
ASHLAND — Thanks to recent snowfall, Mt. Ashland will open for the season on Friday, Dec. 19, beginning at 9 a.m. on a limited basis.
The ski area will offer beginner terrain on the Sonnet chairlift with $7 lift tickets. Lesson and rentals will be available and the Sonnet terrain park will have a few features set up, officials said. With more snow in the forecast, additional terrain on the ski area's 222 acres will be opened as conditions permit.
"We have received enough snow to safely operate the beginner area," Mt. Ashland General Manager Hiram Towle said in a news release. "We invite everyone to come on up, take a few runs and watch SOU's first appearance in the college National Championship, which will be on the flat screens in the bar."
As of Wednesday morning, Mt. Ashland reported a 10-inch base, with a 20-inch depth at the top. A decision about next week's operations will be made over the weekend. The ski area typically needs a base of 18-24 inches to open the whole mountain.
"We know we have the Sonnet going, and the crews are trying to move some snow around to see if we can get another opened up," said Sales and Marketing Director Jamie Schectman. "We're cautiously optimistic — there's an infectious enthusiasm in the air."
Mike Petrucelli, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Medford, said the mountain could see more snow this weekend.
"Don't expect anything really significant up that way in terms of snow amounts until we get into Thursday night," he said. "The snow level at that point should be around 6,000 feet, but it should be coming down to around 5,000 feet Friday morning."
Petrucelli said it's hard to say exactly how much snowfall to expect, but said a ballpark figure would be 3-6 inches at the base.
"We'll have another storm coming in Saturday, and at that point I think the snow accumulation will start to creep up," he said.
Hopes were high Wednesday afternoon at Rogue Ski Shop in Medford, where more than a dozen customers were packed around the counter with skis, snowboards and outerwear in hand. Shop owner Bob Matthews described the ski area as vital to the Rogue Valley's winter ambience.
"There are a lot of families in the valley that can't afford to pay $800 to take the whole family to Mt. Bachelor," he said, ringing up a pair of skis for a customer. "They're not going to give up on their local mountain."
Mt. Ashland will broadcast the Southern Oregon University Raiders' first national championship game, against the Marian, Ind., Knights, starting at noon. The eighth-ranked SOU will face the seventh-ranked Marian in Daytona Beach, Fla., for the 59th NAIA championship.
