I'm going to the Outback..fuck it

Last time I was there it was more like Brokeback. I was chilling at the bar but in the booth just to the side of me, there was a table full of fat chicks tee heeing and hanging with a couple of queers who were sucking on umbrella drink straws until the insides of their cheeks touched. FmyL, I felt like skinning a deer.

HAHAH.
 


The second coming of Jesus, AKA, the blooming onion:

That looks like a heart attack just about to happen.

Needless to say, I want one.

::emp::
 
Oh yeah bro, now you're cookin' with gas. That's exactly what I order as soon as I sit. the 22 oz Sam Adams.. so by the time the food arrives you're relaxed and ready to chow down.

I usually get the Prime Rib or NY Strip depending on my mood. Did they bring out the little piece of pumpernickle bread with the Rambo carving knife? ;-)

BTW don't ever be taken there for your birthday, 2 people had bdays when I was there a week or so ago and the entire staff all gather around the table and clap and shout, it's pretty embarrasing for all involved.

Hell yes. I got the New York, and I could eat about 15 of those little loafs of bread. You almost don't need to even order a meal there between the bread, beer and bloomin onion. Good tip on the birthday. The one we go to always has a bunch of cute waitresses...needless to say, I always get the one male server in the whole fucking place.
 
1 bloomin' onion = 3000+ calories.

In your case - enjoy. New baby = no going out for a long LONG time. I've got a nearly 3 year old and I remember that first week well.
 
O_O
Isn't 2000 calories the recommended daily intake for an adult male?

And yeah, no one in Australia eats that shit.
I haven't eaten there, but after seeing the menu at Outbacks, I'm kinda saddened. There's lots of genuine Aussie food that's awesome and just doesn't make it on the menu there for some stupid reason.
Desserts like jam Lammingtons, or old regulars like Roo pie or Emu burger... Hell, even a Pollywaffle (wafer tube filled with marshmallow and coated in chocolate).
Admittedly, the Gold Coast Shrimp (we call them prawns) exists, but it's usually something you get at a good Chinese restaurant here.

Also, if you're drinking beer, get a Coopers or a Boags. Those are the kinds of beers Aussies actually drink.
 
I think I was at outback once in my life and thought it stunk, the food and service was horrible in my opinion.

I agree with you Harvey. There's nothing really native here to Australia. What they do is just use Oz terms to typical things. It's like a group of suits got together and said "Hey, let's take a Steakhouse menu and add all cool Australian expressions and cliches and we'll fool everybody"
