I love the idea that in Australia, a person could sit down in an over-the-top American-themed eatery. What I have always found interesting about the Outback Steakhouse is how easily we were all just accepted it. We have such positive associations with the country that of course they would have restaurants that serves massive portions of American style foods with Aussie names attached to them.
Something quite ironic is that I got a lot of my knowledge of the US as a kid from Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2. Those movies went both ways for both countries! I like to think they played a part in our close alliance.
Hahaha. The American themed restaurant here in Australia was named "Lone Star Steakhouse" with an emphasis on Texas based decor and menu. Our local has morphed into an "Outback Steakhouse" and in these post-covid times, the menu choices have shrunk considerably and of course the prices are eye-watering compared to 1997!

Now I could go for a Bloomin' Onion.
