Outback Steakhouse
First, let’s get one thing straight. Outback Steakhouse has really nothing to do with Australia, no matter the boomerangs on the walls or the crocodile-themed decor. It was founded in Tampa, Florida, and even if it were the largest steakhouse chain in the United States with almost 700 locations, there are zero in the land Down Under.
What’s even more important is that diners stated it has nothing to do with an actually good steak, either. Moreover, a 2021 Mashed poll discovered that 23% of voters called Outback’s steak the worst one in America.
That might have had something to do with the fact that the chain uses USDA Choice beef instead of the Prime one, which automatically means less marbling, less flavor, and a higher chance of ending up with a tough and dry cut. Somehow, people still go there, and we couldn’t help but think it’s most definitely for the Bloomin’ Onion.
