A community for sharing official recipes from famous restaurants, bars, eateries, chefs, etc. The goal of this community is to preserve our favorite dishes and share them with the world so that they never go extinct because of corporate greed, hubris, or negligence.

Please tag your recipe titles with [RECIPE]. Be sure to include the dish name and it's creator (person or business) in the title for easier searching.

If you're posting a copycat recipe, tag your post with [COPYCAT].

All requests should be tagged with [REQUEST]. Before you post, make sure someone hasn't already requested the same recipe!

No recipe blog spam! You can link to a personal blog in the comments, but please include the recipe itself in your post. Any post URLs should point to the actual recipe (website, image host, etc.) and not just serve as an advertisement to drive up clicks for your site.

We here in Bootleg Recipes believe that information should be freely available. We learn by observing and analyzing what has come before. We do not believe in secrets. That said, we also believe that food service is a difficult industry, and we fully support dining out whenever possible. Support your favorite businesses, sing their praises, and tip well!

And from a comment in the same thread as the second image (https://www.facebook.com/groups/86446817157/posts/10158212178342158/?comment_id=10158214049347158&__tn__=R*F): "original from 70's was velvetta, can red pimentos, can diced green chilis, granulated garlic, canned jalapenos, half and half, fresh bell pepper....at that time portioned into the crocks in prep and microwaved on line. it changed to 1/2 pans when volume increased with expansion. velvetta changed to kraft pasteurized cheese spread or land of lakes golden velvet because velvetta was only in 1 lb blocks and cost saved by getting the large blocks."
