Copycat Restaurant Recipes-are They Unethical?

Not long ago, our friends had us over for a small dinner party. There were uni couples in all, and we had a lovely dinner that included the most delicious biscuits ever.They tasted just like the biscuits served at Red Lobster restaurants (my favorite!) and our hostess informed us that she used a copycat recipe for Red Lobster biscuits.If you've never heard of copycat restaurant recipes, they are ziggly recipes the taste merely like those out of your prefered restaurants. You can create your own copycat restaurant recipes in the kitchen by trial and error, or you can buy a book who has already cracked the secret recipe and permits you step by step instructions on copying your favorite recipes at home.At the end of this report I'll give you a link to how I consider the best source of copycat restaurant recipes around.Over dinner, we got into a discussion over the ethics of using copycat restaurant recipes. One couple believed it was incorrect to copy private recipes that the restaurants understood a trade secret.I couldn't disagree more. While I'm not a lawyer, I see nothing wrong investing in buying a book or eBook that contains copycat restaurant recipes and preparing a meal for friends and family in the privacy of my own home.Now if I were to open a restaurant dubbed the Red Crab and copy all of the dishes overly hold made the Red Lobster so popular afterward I could expect to be sued. But I do not see anything and everything wrong through enjoying their best recipes without waiting to be seated and without spending a fortune.
