About this site
An unofficial fan guide to board prices, trays, and locations — published by the site, not a fictional editor.
Cook Out Menu (thecooksoutmenu.us) is a fan-built reference for people who want a dated price band before they reach the speaker. We are not the restaurant. We do not take orders, issue coupons, or speak for franchisees.
The chain started in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1989. This website exists because posted prices are local and official nutrition paperwork is not always easy to find online. We collect what we can verify, date it, and say when we cannot cite a source.
Who writes this
Pages are published at the organization level. We do not invent a named “fast food analyst” or attach LinkedIn profiles we cannot prove. Editorial rules live on the editorial policy page.
How prices are handled
Last price pass: , Southeast markets. Method and franchise caveats: price methodology. If your board differs, tell us.
