It’s A New Bloggy Day – So How About A Giveaway?

by BooMama on 27 March 2008

in Bloggity Fun

Have I ever told y’all that I love me some cheese fries?

Well, I do. I love me some cheese fries.

And I especially love the cheese fries from Outback. Because they are some potato-y, bacon-y, cheese-y, dipped in Ranch dressing-y deliciousness.

And since I am a fan of irony, I like to order them with a side salad and a diet Coke.

Plus, I always split the cheese fries with my husband, so hello? PORTION CONTROL.

Well, as it turns out, Outback is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, and because of that, they have made a very special gift available for you, the internets.

So if you’d like to win a $25 gift card to Outback, leave a comment and tell me your favorite thing to order when you eat there. And if you need an Outback menu refresher course, click here to check it out.

I’ll leave this giveaway open until Monday, March 31 – at which point I’ll use random.org to select our lucky (PROVIDENTIAL!) winner.

G’day, y’all!

(Sorry. I couldn’t help it. The whole “G’day” thing was way too tempting. I do apologize.)

This giveaway is now closed.

The big, bad BLOOMIN’ onion is my favorite.

Jackie Sue March 27, 2008 at 7:09 am

I love the chesse fries for the very reason you mentioned. I also love their walkabout soup. My husband enjoys the outback special, but honestly, like you, I go for the cheese fries!!!

kelly March 27, 2008 at 7:09 am

Oh heavens, Outback….the glory of Outback.

I love their baked potatoes,and I love their bloomin onions.

Yes, the cheese fries are a staple at any outback visit. If we are with the right crowd – a bloomin’ onion. Hubby doesn’t like the onion – so I need others to help, lest I eat the whole thing myself!

Randall March 27, 2008 at 7:10 am

I do love their cheese fries but especially enjoy the bloomin’ onion with the spicy ranch dipping sauce. Yum!

Shannon March 27, 2008 at 7:10 am

CHEESECAKE! It is the best! EVER!
Although, those cheese fries sound mighty fine too!

Julia Mayhew March 27, 2008 at 7:12 am

Alice Springs Chicken is the favorite dish – cheesy fries the best appetizer… chocolate thunder from down under the best dessert… i LOVE their salads… and of course, drink it all with water so you dont gain too much weight from that ONE meal:)

Andrea March 27, 2008 at 7:12 am

The bloomin’ onion yummy, when I was pregnant I would reward myself at the end of the work week with one of these baby’s.

by the way I found your blog a few weeks back during yuor trip and have never left.

Amy March 27, 2008 at 7:13 am

I love their steak, The Victoria’s Filet to be exact and their salad with that creamy, chunky bleu cheese is divine! YUMMM!

chrissy March 27, 2008 at 7:13 am

Bloomin’ Onion. I made the mistake of reading the nutrition information once, and it was a sad, sad day.

Erin March 27, 2008 at 7:13 am

Hands down, a Bloomin’ Onion. They have great salads too, though.

Grace March 27, 2008 at 7:14 am

Mmmmmmm, I LOVE the bloomin’ onion!!!!! You’re making me hungry for a fried onion at 8:15 in the morning!!!

rebecca March 27, 2008 at 7:14 am

When we go with my parents we get what my dad calls “poo poos”. Basically, everything off the appetizer menu- CHEESE FRIES! BLOOMIN ONION! DIPS!
It’s awesome and figure friendly, because I am only eating a little bit…of everything…

Tara March 27, 2008 at 7:14 am

I like their bloomin’ onions, baked sweet potatoes, and some pasta thing with chicken and mushrooms (sorry, can’t remember what it’s called and it’s been so darn long since we’ve been there that they probably don’t even have it anymore!) Therefore, I must win because darn it, I need me a date with my hubby!

Jennie March 27, 2008 at 7:15 am

The Queensland salad with tangy tomato dressing!!!

Donna March 27, 2008 at 7:15 am

I guess I can’ say the entire menu can I? my favs are Cheese Fries & Buffalo Chicken Tenders!! for dessert – THE THUNDER DOWN UNDER!!!!

Happy Mommy March 27, 2008 at 7:16 am

oh my gosh it has to be the bloom’n onion! And I like to order really fattening things with Diet Coke too!
G’Day you crack me up!

Jill March 27, 2008 at 7:17 am

Ya, the Victoria Filet is my favorite, but I also just love their side salad with ranch, so crisp and so perfect!

Tina March 27, 2008 at 7:17 am

Love the bloomin’ onion. And a good steak. Which is why we don’t go too often. :-)

Cheri March 27, 2008 at 7:17 am

The bloomin onion. Haven’t been there in awhile, but I love that place.

Mary M. March 27, 2008 at 7:18 am

Baby Back Ribs Are To Die For!

Susie March 27, 2008 at 7:19 am

Their coconut shrimp is my fav! The bloomin’ onion is a close second, but that’s only because I haven’t tried their cheese fries. Oooh, I hope I win!

Emily March 27, 2008 at 7:19 am

Outback has great pork chops! And salmon! And a baked potato, please!

Moriah (Please Pass the Salt) March 27, 2008 at 7:20 am

You were laughing writing that rhyme scheme, now weren’t ya?!

Bloomin’ Onion. But there is a close first, a close second, a close third…

And, the “PROVIDENTIAL!” thing cracked me up. Agreed.

Fuzzytop March 27, 2008 at 7:20 am

I LOVE Outback creamy onion soup!! Yum

Heather March 27, 2008 at 7:21 am

During my pregnancies my favorite thing to do is cheese fries and wings! Oh maybe that’s why I gained 50 pounds during each pregnancy!

Shelley March 27, 2008 at 7:21 am

Oh, the onion. Absolutely the onion. And the sauce. So delicious.
And now that you brought up Outback, I’m thinking of that commercial I hear on the radio…”Let’s go Outback tonight”…and I’m going to be singing it in my head all day. Thank you. Thank you very much.

beckyray March 27, 2008 at 7:21 am

I don’t need a menu – I’ll have Alice Springs Chicken!

Mrs. Who March 27, 2008 at 7:22 am

We love their grilled mahi-mahi.

Cami March 27, 2008 at 7:22 am

I always laugh when the waiter asks, “So, have you ever been to Outback before?”

Muah ah ha ha!

Yes! Hello?

My dear friends cheese fries, grilled shrimp, and aside of green beans.

chaotic joy March 27, 2008 at 7:22 am

Oh Outback. My husband has trouble imaging Heaven as anything but one perpetual all-you-can-eat-for-free-Outback. We like the Grilled Shimp on the Barbee and I love the Bloomin Onion. And the Salmon.

Oh pick me, pick me, random # thingy. It would make my hubby’s day.

Lynne March 27, 2008 at 7:23 am

Steak and salad with blue cheese dressing, all the way!

Melanie March 27, 2008 at 7:23 am

Would you believe I’ve never been to Outback? I once had some of their chili fries that someone brought to me, though. I don’t even know if they still have that on the menu!

But please enter me anyway. Pretty please?!

Melene March 27, 2008 at 7:23 am

My 3 best girlfriends and I have had two of our birthday celebrations at Outback and Cheese Fries are M A N D A T O R Y. One of those girlfriends has moved and one will be moving in June. I sure I hope win this so the two of us left can drown our sorrows in the cheese fries.

The Bargain Shopper Lady March 27, 2008 at 7:24 am

I know this is going to sound “diety” but they have the best salads in the whole world. My grandma agrees!

Lone Butterfly March 27, 2008 at 7:24 am

I have to have a salad (lettuce, extra bacon bits, extra croutons w/lemons for dressing) and Chicken on the Barbie, with fries and extra BBQ sauce.

The kids eat the Mac-a-Roo and Cheese – with Spotted Dog Sundaes.

Now I’m going to have to drag my co-workers to Outback for lunch…

Molly March 27, 2008 at 7:25 am

Defintely the Macaroo!! Some of the best macaroni and cheese ever!

Rachel March 27, 2008 at 7:25 am

oh my, Outback…yum-o! My favorite is a toss-up between the Wallaby Darned and a regular old sirloin steak. I know – the Wallaby Darned is a drink. I don’t chose to have one or the other…but both of them are so delicious, they could each be chosen as my fave. Great contest, thank you!

Greta March 27, 2008 at 7:25 am

Mmmmm – I love the Bloomin’ Onion AND Alice Springs Chicken. In fact, I could eat either right now, thanks for making me think about greasy, cheesy food so early in the morning! :)

melissa March 27, 2008 at 7:26 am

Any kind of steak will do it for me! Plus you have to have dessert, so I will take the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under…that looks sinful!!

Priscilla March 27, 2008 at 7:27 am

I love the cheese fries!!! Oh they are good!

Charlotte March 27, 2008 at 7:28 am

Chicken on the Barbie… however, that Alice Springs Chicken is sounding quite yummy…. with a salad and Diet Coke also, please.

Jessie March 27, 2008 at 7:28 am

I love the bread. Is that pathetic?

Karen March 27, 2008 at 7:28 am

A Bloomin’ Onion and a ribeye. Mmmmm, Mmmmm!

Heather March 27, 2008 at 7:29 am

My husband and I always share the Outback Special – we each get our own salad and side, but we share the steak so we have room for dessert….which is always the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under!! Sin in a bowl! They make their whipped cream….homemade!!! It’s heavenly! We take my mom every year to Outback for her birthday…which is next week….so….pick me, pick me!!

Meg March 27, 2008 at 7:31 am

It’s a toss up between the spinach/artichoke dip and the Sydney Sundae!! Oh, both are scrumptious!

Judy March 27, 2008 at 7:32 am

Outback is our favorite! Love the fried shrimp but my all-time favorite is their steamed vegetables…..no kidding!

And, Jessie, We LOVE those little loaves of bread too!!!!

Jacqui March 27, 2008 at 7:33 am

Oh my goodness, so many choices! Alice Springs Chicken and Atlantic Salmon have to be my faves… with the mashed sweet potatoes. Fabulous!!!!
