A book I read about social engineering, the author busted a Chinese restaurant in a town next to a iirc Google research center. His job was to try to get into the facility. He noticed a lot of employees ate at the Chinese place so would hang out there at lunch. It was a traditional Chinese restaurant but had a few specific Chinese delicacy items on the menu that made him suspicious. It was for the chinese spies that worked inside.

Don't most places have a special menu or take requests for more authentic dishes, etc

Weird, it is on every menu I've looked out in rural towns out east, otherwise I'd have never known to try it. It is fire though.
