Anonymous McDonald's Manager Confirms Existence Of 'Secret Menu'

After years of speculation and experimentation, the secret is finally out. Secret Menu, that is.

An anonymous McDonald's manager hosted a Reddit chat over the weekend where curious minds inquired all sorts of strange things about the world's most famous fast food chain. One thing that inevitably was brought up was the existence (or non-existence) of the fabled "Secret Menu."

The insider obliged, spilling that the unofficial menu is, in fact, real and that people order off it quite frequently.

"You can order from the 'Secret Menu'. Just like with any of our sandwiches, you can add, remove or change ingredients by special request. These are called 'grill orders' (i.e. Big Mac no pickle)

The items on the 'secret menu' weren't invented by anyone officially at McDonald's, it's just a random persons guide to burgers you could potentially 'hack' at McDonald's.

Order one and the workers might not know it by name (i.e. Land, Air and Sea burger) but if you explain what it is, and are willing to pay for all the ingredients, it's just another 'grill order' that we can make up."

So what's on the Secret Menu? There's a handy breakdown over on hackthemenu.com that outlines everything from the Poor Man's Big Mac to the more famous Land, Air and Sea Burger.

Several calls to Metro Detroit-area locations were placed, with no one willing to comment on the topic.

Have you ever tried to order anything off of this not-so-secret menu? Let us know in the comment section below.
