/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I hate Outback Steakhouse so fucking much. Every time I visit family they insist on going here as if it's a special occasion kind of joint, and I suppose many people seem to think that way because there never fails to be a 45 minute wait with dozens of people spilling out into the street wearing their Sunday finest as if this it's an upscale establishment because it has the word "Steakhouse" in the title. And you'd think a place that builds their menu around steak and lobster would be hard to fuck up, but they found a way. I quickly learned never to order steak here. If they ask you how you'd like it cooked understand that the server is apparently just trying to make small talk because the only option is "medium well". And it wouldn't actually matter if they got it right because they have a "secret proprietary house rub" that is composed of 17 spices to insure that whatever you order is going to taste like a bloomin' onion. I've tried everything. Tried ordering steak, it was shit. Tried ordering ribs, they were microwaved and tasted like seafood (if you have a shell fish allergy, go to Chili's. I can assure you this place wants you dead). Tried ordering a burger, it fell apart. Tried the "alice springs" chicken (which is basically chicken covered in melted cheese, bacon and mushrooms) and it contained a literal fistful of cumin which caused it to taste like BO. I have no idea why so many people like this place. It's like the restaurant's theme is disappointment

Hey Bros I'm taking a girl out tonight and we are going to Outback. What is the most Australian thing on the menu beside Fosters Australian Fore-bear. I want to prove I'm a man by eating Aussie cuisine not just some shrimp on the barbie meme foods. What should I order mate? Lol
