Expo 86 had some great food. My fave was the French exhibit which did the best garlic snails I've ever tasted, as well as superb (and not overly greasy) pastries and stuffed mushrooms.
Next best was the First Nations exhibit which had the best hard cider and salmon - even better than what I've had here.
Since when is Arby's chicken cordon bleu sandwich a "secret?" It's been on the menu for years, in fact, I distinctly remember seeing TV commercials for it.
In general, I'm calling bullshit on this list. Most of the McDonald's entries are obviously made-up, like this one:
Big Mac with Quarter Pounder Patties - This is great if you are looking to decrease the cost and calories of the classic Big Mac Sandwich. You get the entire flavor with less meat.
Yes, because larger patties = less meat. (?!) This person has clearly never even seen a Big Mac.
Chick-Fil-A Fried Club: This works better if you fry the marinated chicken breasts used for the grilled club sandwiches. Back when I was in high school (and, sadly, working at a Chick-Fil-A), a co-worker hit upon this idea. Goddamn delicious.
I live off of secret menus and special requests thanks to this faggy "no eating meat" thing I do. If you aren't in a rush and can spare a couple of minutes, BK will do a gardenburger patty and egg on a biscuit for you instead of a normal breakfast sammich. Have it your way, indeed.
This supposing you somehow were unlucky enough to end up in a Burger King.
The most creative "off-menu" concoctions, in my experience, are devised by employees desperate to avoid eating the same damn thing, shift after shift.
At Steak 'N Shake, order a plate of plain noodles (a la chili mac), a cup of cream of broccoli soup (check daily soup rotation), a sliced chicken breast (you may have to order a sandwich), and ask for a parmesan shaker. Voila: fettucini alfredo!
Also (and this is "taste at your own risk!") ask for a shake with *real* ice cream. The nonfat "shake base" they use is fine, but shakes made with full-fat vanilla are a revelation!

The secret ingredient is love.

They donate to a lot of extremely conservative christian groups.
I recommend avoiding them.
