Can you keep a secret? Via the Monterey County Weekly by Raul Nava

Crema has a new secret menu of favorite off-the-menu combinations. Inspired by In-N-Out’s famous word-of-mouth menu, the secret’s out for locals to try favorite off-the-menu dishes. Try the Bene fries with poached eggs, ham and avocado ($14), the Wet & Wild chile verde breakfast burrito stuffed with pork, hash browns and a fried egg then smothered in salsa ($14), chicken ‘n biscuits with Crema’s famous fried fowl over bacon-cheddar biscuits with owner Tamie Aceves’ signature “slightly spicy” sausage gravy ($12). Also look for new takes on the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich, like the Roll It Up breakfast sandwich wrap ($14) and a croissant breakfast sandwich ($14). Wash things down with a Bantam Bloody Mary that takes Crema’s signature bloody (voted Best Bloody in the Weekly’s Best Of readers’ poll) and adds crispy chicken strips and jalapeño-pickled veggies ($19) or the Russian Roulette with Verve cold brew coffee, vodka and Kahlua ($14).
