My friend insisted the 'secret menu' burger at that one chain was amazing

So my buddy Jake kept going on about this 'animal style' burger he got from a place in Riverside, saying it was the best thing ever. He gave me the exact order to say, like a whole paragraph of modifications. I finally tried it yesterday, and it was a total disaster. The patty was burnt on the edges but somehow still cold in the middle, and they drowned it in so much sauce the bun turned to mush before I even got to my car. I paid over $14 for a soggy, lukewarm mess. Jake swore by it, but honestly, it tasted like regret. Has anyone else had a 'secret menu' recommendation completely backfire on them?

Secret menus are such a gamble... my cousin talked me into some crazy coffee order with extra shots and cold foam. Tasted like bitter melted ice cream and cost a fortune. Couldn't even finish it.

My friend's secret menu burger was raw inside, @charles_baker28.

Ever wonder if these secret menu items are just kitchen mistakes that got popular? Like someone's order got messed up, they posted it online, and now we're all asking for a "burger with extra pickles but also no pickles and add mustard between the patties." It feels like we're just ordering chaos and calling it a hack.
