Outback Steakhouse

it gets annoying after about two times, lol.  

Yeah they come out sining too you but it is done with a special song across the entire resturant and they dim all the lights in the entire resturant.

oooh..... my bday is comin up next, maybe i should put in a pref of places to go, hehe. .... kids would love it i'm sure.  

They did that a few times at Chili's on Saturday!

You went to Chilis? without me? did they have the awesome blossoms this time?

By the way, I always thought the Outback was an Aussie chain! name definitely sounds more Australian than American.

I don't think there is one Outback in Australia.

In fact, I worked for Outback in the past and Australians who would come in to eat would sometimes be in hysterics over the menu. One example is the "Botany Bay Fish of Day". They said this bay was a toxic slum. Below is something I found on the internet:The pollutor
Orica (formerly ICI) began manufacturing chlorine at the Botany site in 1944, and continued to make a range of hazardous and toxic chlorinated chemicals there for the next 50 years, including:


     The pesticides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T (the primary components of Agent Orange) 
     Petrochemicals
     Polythene plastic and polypropylene, polyethylene, ethylene oxides and derivatives, polypropylene, sodium hydroxide, and sodium silicate
     Ethylene dichloride (EDC)
     PVC (poly vinyl chloride) plastic
     Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)
     Chlorinated solvent carbon tetrachloride (now banned)
 


I am happy to see that they are opening more stores here. I am surprised it has taken this long as there are so many strong ties between Britain and Australia--they were in love with the country way before we were. Our love affair fell on the back of "Crocodile Dundee", where as theirs goes way back in history.
