The bloomin onion. It’s in no way Aussie. We don’t do that here. But man it’s good. I wish we did do it here & not just in Outback Steakhouses in the US.
OMG! Yes! That’s exactly what it is! How did I not see that? We tried something similar here for a while called Outback Jacks but it didn’t survive covid. There was even a 20ft fibreglass crocodile 🐊 on the ceiling.
As an American, this makes me oddly happy to hear, after being confused for decades about why the bloomin onion is a thing. Guess we don't have to be totally embarrassed by Outback lol
The steak is actually not terrible either at outback for what it is. It’s not a fancy steakhouse, it’s what we would consider a pub meal here & for a pub meal it’s pretty good. Plus, they know what a blue steak is, which makes me happy.
There are outback steakhouses here too! I drove past one somewhere in western Sydney not long ago and it had a sign outside about bloomin onions. I remember thinking “who is going to an Outback Steakhouse here” but maybe the answer is you
