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 Bloomin’ Onion is my favorite, because there is nothing greater than an onion dipped in batter and deep fried to perfection with their awesome dipping sauce.

Thanks for entering me into the contest!

Butterbean March 27, 2008 at 7:34 am

I LOVE the steak/chicken griller, the house salad, and the filet! Yum, yum! Pick me, mate!

Jacqueline March 27, 2008 at 7:34 am

Ah, the cheese fries! Pick me! :)

Have you ever tried the bloomin onion sauce with the fries? Best of both worlds…

Jamie Baker March 27, 2008 at 7:36 am

Chocolate Thunder from Down Under!! YUM!

Cristy March 27, 2008 at 7:36 am

Cheese fries!

kjh March 27, 2008 at 7:37 am

LOVE the coconut shrimp!! You do NOT even want to know the calories and fat in even 1/2 an order of the cheese fries! Really—You don’t!

Jenn C March 27, 2008 at 7:38 am

No need to look at a menu… Alice Springs chicken without the mushrooms!! YUMMYYYYY!!!!!

Nicole March 27, 2008 at 7:38 am

Oh boy…it’s a toss up between the Alice Springs Chicken, Gold Coast Shrimp, and Chocolate Thunder from Down Under.

I think I just gained 10 pounds.

Lora Lynn March 27, 2008 at 7:38 am

Oh, I’m with you on the fries. Outback and I have a history that goes way back. With my last pregnancy, I craved those cheese fries, but then paid dearly for it afterwards. My husband has refused to buy them for me ever since. But if I won a gift card…. He could hardly refuse me, right? I mean, if I want to make myself sick FOR FREE, who is he to argue?

amy March 27, 2008 at 7:38 am

Bloomin’ Onion I do love.

Ali March 27, 2008 at 7:40 am

I love the Chicken on the Barbie.

A few weeks ago my assistant’s five year old daughter informed him very loudly and often that she wanted the “chocolate bread” they had at Outback the night before.

Erin K. March 27, 2008 at 7:41 am

Mmmmmm – Bloomin’ Onion for sure!! And some grilled chicken. Or steak. Or shrimp.

Is it lunch time yet????

Amy E March 27, 2008 at 7:41 am

Well, like everyone else…love the Bloomin’ Onion but my favorite main meal is the Alice Springs Chicken. Fattening, but oh so good!

Jes March 27, 2008 at 7:42 am

hmm I have to pick just one thing?! Cheese fries? no bloomin’ onion? no STEAK. I especially love the bread they serve to everyone!

Jennifer March 27, 2008 at 7:43 am

I haven’t been to Outback in a long time because it is a little pricey and we don’t have one in town, but looking in the menu the Tilapia with the crab sauce on top looks divine.

Erica (A Yankee In Jawja) March 27, 2008 at 7:44 am

Ooh, I’d need to start with the seared Ahi Tuna, then Alice Springs Chicken and end it all with a Sydney’s sundae. *drool*

Staci at Writing and Living March 27, 2008 at 7:44 am

The Bloomin’ Onion is my favorite, hands down.

Susan March 27, 2008 at 7:46 am

the cheese fries and the steak salad :)

Lanisa Fitzgerald March 27, 2008 at 7:49 am

I LOVE the Alice Springs Chicken!

Whitney Ford March 27, 2008 at 7:49 am

Kookaburra Wings! Ooooooh it’s too delicious.

Mary March 27, 2008 at 7:49 am

bloomin onion and filet!

Lindsay March 27, 2008 at 7:49 am

I love the Queensland salad and the blooming onion yummy!!

Dona March 27, 2008 at 7:50 am

Love the Alice Springs Chicken! My 10yr old granddaughter is the steak eater!

Karen March 27, 2008 at 7:51 am

I’m with you on the cheese fries. However, I recently read a list of the most unhealthy restaurant foods–#1 on the list was Ouback’s cheese fries! Oh well!

Donna March 27, 2008 at 7:52 am

I love the bloomin onion.

Katrina (Callapidder Days) March 27, 2008 at 7:53 am

I am always completely stuffed when I leave Outback because I eat it all: the bloomin’ onion, the salad, the steak with cheese fries. Yum! Good thing I don’t get there too often or I would be too big to fit through the door. Please enter me — I think it’s time for me to visit Outback again!

Emily C March 27, 2008 at 7:53 am

Chocolate Thunder from Down Under is my favorite — not exactly a main dish, but a necessary one for sure.

Diane Meyer March 27, 2008 at 7:54 am

I can’t say no to the Bloomin’ Onion ever. Even for breakfast.

stephanie March 27, 2008 at 7:54 am

Hands down – the queensland salad. If I could recreate that at home, I would be one happy camper. Yum!

Cricket March 27, 2008 at 7:55 am

The bloomin’ onion was afavorite until I saw the nutrition info on TV! ACK! Their soups are great, especially the clam chowder. I also love the Alice Springs Chicken and grilled salmon.
YUM!

escapades unlimited March 27, 2008 at 7:56 am

Pick my number, pretty please. I’ll have the filet with steamed veggies, please. And thank you.

Tammy H March 27, 2008 at 7:56 am

Sadly, I did not need to look at the menu for a “refresher”. I’ll take a bloomin onion followed by Alice Spring Chicken – Aussie my fries please and………. make that thousand island on my salad.

Kelly Anne March 27, 2008 at 7:58 am

They have the BEST Ceasar Salad ever!! It’s peppery and yummy and I luv it! I order it every time we go, along with a steak and loaded baked potato just to round things (me) out!

Steph VG March 27, 2008 at 7:58 am

We don’t have an Outback near us, so I don’t need to be in the contest, but the cheese fries (yum!) thing reminded me – have you seen “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” on the Food network? Oh, Miss BooMama, you will LOVE it.

Lacey March 27, 2008 at 7:59 am

I love me some cheese fries too! :)

Jai March 27, 2008 at 7:59 am

Shrimp on the barbie, several servings .. and Toowoomba Pasta
With ice cold water, please …

Donna March 27, 2008 at 8:00 am

We’d start with some ‘Shrooms then go for the Victoria’s Filet with a sweet potato and side salad with blue cheese dressing!!! Mmmm…I think I just came up with our dinner plans for tonight.

Natalie March 27, 2008 at 8:00 am

My perfect outback meal:

1 diet coke (well, more than 1, but you know what I mean)

A little bit from each of these appetizers: Bloomin’ Onion and Cheese Fries

THEN the Alice Springs Chicken with a side salad with TONS of ranch.

Robin March 27, 2008 at 8:05 am

There’s nothing like a Bloomin’ Onion before a tasty plate of Alice Springs Chicken, mmmm…

marlise March 27, 2008 at 8:06 am

Without a doubt, my favorite is the blooming onion.

chocolatechic March 27, 2008 at 8:07 am

Sadly, I have never had the opportunity to eat at an Outback Steakhouse. Not because there isn’t one close, but just haven’t had the opportunity.

I would love to try the cheese fries, and oh…if they have steak, I want one of them too.

Jennie March 27, 2008 at 8:07 am

My favorite is just their regular ol’ sirloin steak. YUM. I love everything from the salad to the baked potato to the steak. I don’t always order cheese fries, but I will definitely sneak some if anyone has them at my table! I don’t like to dip them in ranch, though. I know; that probably just got me disqualified!!!

Eugene March 27, 2008 at 8:07 am

Steak Steak Steak oh and did i mention STEAAAAKKKKK!! YUM!

Piseco March 27, 2008 at 8:08 am

I love the blue cheese chop salad! Thanks for the contest.

beth March 27, 2008 at 8:09 am

alice springs chicken, but of course you HAVE to begin with the bloomin’ onion.

it would be unamerican.

especially at an australian restaurant!

Lena March 27, 2008 at 8:09 am

OOOO, those cheesy fries are TO. DIE. FOR. And you just can’t forget about that bloomin’ onion! Pick me! Pick me!

Bronie March 27, 2008 at 8:11 am

ok, the outback special cooked to a perfect medium with a loaded baked potato and caesar side salad…or toowoomba pasta? oh.my.goodness. yumm-o! did i mention i love, LOVE their bread? well, i do.

stephaniesmommybrain March 27, 2008 at 8:11 am

bloomin’ onion or cheese fries!! I am CRAVING a nice big steak these days, too!

sue.g March 27, 2008 at 8:11 am

My fav is the grilled salmon with steamed veggies. Eating healthy makes me feel better after I polish off the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under (ice cream rolled in coconut, of course!)

erin March 27, 2008 at 8:12 am

I’ve never been to Outback, so I should win so I can go try something there to have a favorite!
