Great link of the week - Copykat.com

Created by Stephanie Manley, Copykat.com features recipes to "copy" irresistible restaurant favorites! From Outback Steakhouse's Caesar Salad dressing to Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Ice cream... it never ends! (Well... the chocolate ice cream never lasts really long around here! ..but you get what I'm saying!)

The site is really well built and very user friendly. There is a "search" box and all recipes are also tagged and categorized. It even features and handy dandy RRS feed to which I subscribed immediately!

One of the "cons" about this website is that a lot of the CopyKat recipes are from restaurants found most commonly in the US. I looked everywhere to find our faves from The Keg but they didn't have anything! :(

On the "pro" side though, it gives you a chance to try some recipes from restaurants you've never been to! Sometimes we'll see a commercial or hear about a restaurant we'd like to try and when we rush to find the nearest one, it's a bazillion miles away! So disappointing! Now, I will FINALLY be able to try Bubba Gump's Spicy Shrimps in the comfort of my own home.

I give the website a good 4/5! It's got everything it needs to be easy to navigate and it's a great original idea!
