About Me:

Meet Leo Bennett

I'm Leo, and I have a confession: I love chain restaurants. There's something comforting about those specific flavors we all know and crave. But I don't love the prices or the wait times. That's why I started reverse-engineering my favorite menu items. I treat every recipe like a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Why Copycats?

The "Exact Match" Challenge: I don't stop until my homemade version tastes identical to—or better than—the original.
Ingredient Sleuthing: I love hunting down that one secret spice or technique that makes a dish taste authentic.
Comfort at Home: There's nothing better than making a "Dad Bod" cookie or a restaurant-style slice of cake in your pajamas.

My Background

My culinary journey started in college when I couldn't afford to eat out but craved those specific tastes. I spent years experimenting with doughs and batters to replicate everything from fast-food favorites to high-end desserts. Now, I share those secrets so you can be the hero of your next dinner party.
