The only things i've ever enjoyed is the bread and the ribs. Going here for steak is like going to Red Lobster for seafood or Olive Garden for Italian.

I've never understood the connection they try to make between steak and Australia. Do Australians do it somehow different or are they famous for it in some way?

This was classic! Hilarious that the creators have never been to Australia! That's just too good.
I've never found anything Australian about it, beyond the kitsch on the walls and the silly commercials.
I actually liked the bloomin' onion the first time I had it. These days I make it myself, and I think it's way better than going to outback. Beyond that one item, I've never thought anything I've eaten there was better than average, and often much worse....ribs included.

Meh. It isn't a great steak but it isn't Ruth Chris or Morton's prices either.

Haven't been to one in a decade but seemed ok for what it was.

Uh, it's just a cheesy gimmick. I don't think Outback even claims that their food is Australian, any more than the Rainforest Cafe claims their food is Amazonian.

Yeah, duhhh, of course it's not going to be authentically Australian. Like the tasters said, their shrimps would be tiny and eaten plain with tomato sauce.

There's very little foreign authenticity in American restaurants, and if there is an authentic representation of another country's restaurant, it's more than likely targeted at immigrants who need that authenticity because Americans don't like Vegemite.

Not only chains, but even locally-owned restaurants change their recipes to appeal to as many Americans as possible. Everything else is just marketing.

In any case, I like these videos. Just would've been better if it wasn't all completely one-sided with no surprises. Can't wait to see Panda Express and Taco Bell next.

you always know what to expect from a corporate themed eatery,a whole big helping of "meh",but at least you know what you are getting.

so enjoy your downward spiral into mediocrity america!

Oh my god, the best place to get authentic cuisine from a specific country isn't a completely different country?! Holy shit. They should have just been happy that they weren't getting schnitzel and deep-fried knödel.

The most poignant comment is asking why everything in america is so sweet.

It's because they put chemically altered sugar in *everything* and most people are completely and hopelessly addicted to it.

The funny thing is, with those increases sugars we've lost a lot of the taste of food. But then again you don't go out to a nation-wide food chain for 'flavor' do you?

What do you mean? Schnitzel and Knödel are genuine Australian cuisine
