To differentiate themselves from other dining concepts, they decided an Australian theme fit the relaxed, friendly and fun image they wanted for their new restaurant. With a No Rules, Just Right mentality that takes food very seriously, but without taking themselves too seriously and operating under the premise that nothing stands in the way of pleasing the customer, they opened their first Outback Steakhouse restaurant in March 1988 in Tampa, Florida. Outback Steakhouse quickly became known as a place that served a great steak at a reasonable price by people who genuinely cared about the comfort, well-being and joy of their guests.
Since the first Outback Steakhouse opened, our family has expanded to include Carrabbas Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Flemings Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Roys. Together, these unique, Founder-inspired restaurants that deliver exceptional quality and welcoming hospitality make up Bloomin Brands, Inc.

Not only has Outback never been owned by Australians, it was selected as the theme for the restaurant as a cynical commercial ploy.
The most Australian thing about the restaurant chain is the really bad imitation Aussie accent the actor uses in their ads.

With 80-90% it eliminates the fence sitters who are simple gamblers.

I wonder how long it took for someone to notice the "Hate Section" table-tent I made and put there.
