Question

If you ask for a recipe from a restaurant, will it charge you for it?

Answer 1

i doubt it,

there are web sites that list popular recipes from restaurants, even mcdonalds

good luckl

Answer 2

Most likely not, but if this is a Top Notch restaurant with a Food star or mission star, or has had a food critic rating, you are probably not going to get it.

Also if it's  a regular restaurant you might be surprised to know that it was a boxed or ready made item.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Depends on the restaurant and on the recipe. Ask all they can say is yes there is a charge, then don't ask for the recipe...or no and they will give you the recipe.  Nothing lost by asking.

Answer 5

Well. This depends. If the recipe is like a restaurant special, you could be asked to pay or they would not give it to you.

I mean, they want you to come to them not you making their food at your place.

The chances depend man.

Good luck

Answer 6

More than likely the chef will not want to give his recipe out or will suggest that you buy his cookbook.

Answer 7

I did this in Kansas and yes they did charge me. So it must just be up to management.

Answer 8

They probably won't give it to you.  But you can look on-line under specific meals -- like type in  "Bennegan's......(the food name)" and sometimes you'll get a hit.

Answer 9

Everywhere I traveled,if I liked the food,I asked for the recipe.I never paid but sometimes the chef would leave out a key ingredient!

Answer 10

They should not but it would depend on whether or not they had a cook book for sell out in their waiting area

Answer 11

Probs not , Depends if its something they created or something that is world renowned.

Answer 12

No they don't charge you, but they might not be willing to give out their secrets. Usually if you but the dish ans then ask for the recipe they would probably give it to you.

Answer 13

it shouldnt it has no right to charge you for something like that they should gladly give it up and take it as a complement

Answer 14

No, but depending on the resturaunt, chances are they will not give it to you lol.

Depending on what it is, you may be able to find a copy cat recipe online. Just google search copy cate recipe and put whatever resturaunt and whatever food it is.

I use the copy cat recipes for Chili's Enchilada Soup, Chili's Honey Mustard dressing, and Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and they are awesome.

Goodluck!
