CONSUMIN’ THE BLOOMIN’
Feature,The Dish
You know, if somebody were to say “Name one thing EATERAZ has in common with Outback Steakhouse,” we might reply: “Fresh Tilapia with Pure Lump Crab Meat!” in an obvious attempt to avoid the question. But now we do have something in common—we’re both trying to provide financial support for Operation Homefront, a charity that makes life a little easier for the families of our troops overseas. Gotta move but Dad’s in Iraq? Homefront’s got you. Need a computer to Skype with your son in Fallujah? They got it.
Although we’re supporting the charity by throwing a giant barbecue festival on April 10 in the middle of downtown Scottsdale, complete with cooking demos, a farmer’s market, poker tournament, VIP tent, live music, and tons of barbecue, Outback’s taking the simpler, more sane approach—they’re rolling out a special menu. Their “Red, White, and Bloomin’ Menu” is good through March and portions of every order from it benefit Operation Homefront. They’re hopin’ to raise $1 million. (So are we, but truth is, we may fall $975,000 short.)
On their menu: the calorie-free bloomin’ onion, sirloin steak with shrimp, baby back ribs, ribeye, filet, carrot cake, and Fresh Tilapia with Pure Lump Crab Meat! No, we’re not trying to distract you, we’re just trying to get you loca-whores out to a big fat chain. Just once. And maybe twice, you know, for the troops.
