I am sorry I forgot to put in my
to indicate I was joking.I was under the impression that Outback was to the States as the chain of American Restaurants (cant remember the name) was to Australia. To give a taste of some authentic food from that country.
Speaking from my experience, thats what Chinese, Indian, and Italian Restaurants are great for. Now, I have eaten in some authentic American Restaurants now and know that the chain in Australia has made modifications as well.
Why would I travel all this way to eat in an Australian Restaurant?

Or, puppy, maybe it is because this is the US, not Australia!!! Guess if we wanted everything like Australia, we'd all go there!! I have traveled to many countries and enjoyed the differences.
It seems that this conversation has gone in the direction of many and been blown out of proportion.
BJ - I have the Outback Menu open in front of me and yes Australia is mainly Beef country (well and Lamb) I dont actually see any steak combinations/variations that are popular in Australia. I find that amusing, but I am not about to get upset about a menu (unlike some).
We went and had Chinese last nite, it was Americanised too, much like ours in Australianised. I will location drop (seems the done thing) and say I have eaten the real thing in asian countries.
