Outback Steakhouse

I've just returned from one of the most surreal dining experiences I've ever had. Not that it wasn't enjoyable - just kinda freaky. Basically, it stemmed from deciding that we should splurge on at least one meal out while we're here, so we went to a nearby restaurant called "Outback Steakhouse." Nothing else on the door, just outback steakhouse.

Inside however...

Well, to give you an idea, let me tell you what was on the front of the menu.

G'day Mates! Bonzer times start with awesome Outback tucker! We've got awesome aussie-tizers, bonzer salads, grilled on the barbie land rover steaks and loads of down under favourites!

And it didn't stop there. Amongst the menu options were Kookaburra Wings, Prime Minister's Prime Rib, Rockhampton Rib Eye, Toowoomba Pasta, Sydney's Sinful Sunday and the showcase meal, the Bloomin' Onion, which was an "Outback Ab-original from Botany Bay!"

Oh, and did I mention the restaurant itself was covered in boomerangs, crocodile signs, outback paintings, attire nicked from the Crocodile Dundee films and god knows what else. The waitress actually seemed a bit embarassed when she found out we were actually Australians.

But anyway, it got me thinking. We could do a Captain America restaurant in Australia. Just load it up with American flags, assault rifles all over the walls, park an SUV out the front, make sure all the waiters weigh at least 300 pounds and serve all the meals on lard encrusted plates with extra sugar.

I'm looking for investment options. Perhaps Gerald Industries would be in a position to finance this venture into capitalism? I'm thinking there's a definite prospect of good returns. Call my broker.
