What Is a Bloomin’ Onion?
Outback Steakhouse burst onto the casual dining scene in the early 1990s with a flurry of advertising and entry into most large American markets.
Though Australian in theme, the chain has its roots in Tampa, Florida. Its menu features steaks, soups, salads, seafood and sandwiches. The Bloomin’ Onion, one of the restaurant’s most distinct appetizers, combines deep-fried onion petals arranged into a plate-sized bloom with the restaurant’s signature Bloom sauce.
If you’ve never added one to your Outback meal, Veterans Day may be the perfect time to try it.
