Although I have travelled a great deal over the years, in my little corner of the world we are not blessed with such restaurants as the Hard Rock Cafe, the Olive Garden, etc. and this book is the next best thing to being there. Many "clone recipes" can be found on the internet, and some in other knock-off cookbooks, but none come so close to the real thing as the recipes in this book. Red Robin's Mountain High Mud Pie is sinfully delicious, calories and all, and the Watermelon Ribs from the Hard Rock Cafe are absolutely mouth-watering. If you are looking for the next best thing to being there, this book is certainly it! Not all the recipes are quick and easy but they certainly are worth the time and effort.
