Menu Description: "An Outback Ab-original from Russell's Marina Bay"
If you go to an Outback Steakhouse expecting exotic Aussie prairie food that someone like Crocodile Dundee would have enjoyed, you're gonna be a bit disappointed, mate. Except for a little Australia- themed paraphernalia on the walls, like boomerangs and pictures of kangaroos, the restaurant chain is about as "down under" as McDonald's is Irish. The three founders, Tim Gannon, Chris Sullivan, and Bob Basham, are all U.S. boys. And the menu, which is about 60 per- cent beef, contains mainly American fare with cute Australian names like The Melbourne, Jackeroo Chops, and Chicken on the Barbie.
The founders say they chose the Aussie theme because "Most Australians are fun-loving and gregarious people and very casual people. We thought that's exactly the kind of friendliness and atmosphere we want to have in our restaurants."
In only six years, Outback Steakhouse has become our number one steakhouse chain-in part because of the Bloomin' Onion: a large, deep-fried onion sliced to look like a flower in bloom that was created by one of the restaurant's founders. What makes this appetizer so appealing besides its flowery appearance is the onion's crispy spiced coating, along with the delicious dipping sauce, cleverly presented in the center of the onion.
Although the restaurant uses a special device to make the slicing process easier, you can make the incisions with a sharp knife. It just takes a steady hand and a bit of care.

A Blooming onion is an onion that is kept whole but slices downward and the layers opened to resemble a flower. It is then coated in batter and deep fried.....Served with ranch dressing on the side.

Something completely non australian, most Aussies have never heard of a blooming onion unless they have had the pleasure of having one in the USA

It's a gigantic onion that is breaded and then deep fried. Then they serve it to you with some kind of a ranch dipping sauce.
I personally don't like it. Can't stand the overpowering onion flavor.

The blooming onion is a big onion that is deep fried and then served with this horseradish / spicy / kicky sauce. If you like onion rings...you will like this!
