Have you been to an "Outback" restaurant over there?

For those that dont know, they are an Australiana themed restaurant chain in the US.
Nothing about the cuisine was identifiably Aussie to me, but the way the place was decked out with Australiana all over the walls sure felt like home.

How far away from Newburgh, NY are you? (drive time on I-84)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. So funny. You thoughts of identifiable Aussie foods rung oh so true. Who the hell eats a "bloomin onion"?
The only thing truly Aussie was the "depth charger" Fosters can (yes it was the real steel ones too - 750ml) and the things on the walls.

If you check the can you will see that Fosters available in the US is actually brewed in Canada and tastes slightly different.

Looks like it is around an hour drive or so...

I have been to the "Outback" steakhouse before but not since our return to the USA...it does have an Aussie Feel (kind of) but the food is in no way representative...

Don't get me started on the Adult beverages...in spite of the advertising claim, I find little about Foster's Lager to be Australian...Give me some of the good stuff from Tassie any day (Boags or Cascade).
