      My wife and I ate at that Outback several times when we lived at MacDill 87-93. You should do a vlog on the original Hooters in Clearwater at 2800 Gulf to Bay Blvd in Clearwater, Florida.

    South Tampa Native here, fun fact that jay may have not known about Outback and how it actually came about. The founders were golfers and they would spend all day at the Palma Ceia golf course and back in the day when Outback first opened they didn’t open until 4pm for years it stayed that way because it was kinda outback’s thing. Anyways they wanted a good restaurant in Palma Ceia to go to after they spent all day golfing and wanted a big steak. Big portions and big utensils lol they used to have enormous forks and knife’s . They wanted the location to open after 4 and it only be a dinner restaurant except on the weekend when they would open at 11 and it stayed that way for decades! And the original is right around the block from the golf course! Also I could tell more about it and hearsay but I’ll only tell the facts that I know! lol anyways thanks Jay for this video because it was cool to see my old stomping grounds and brought back great memories! I don’t live there anymore I’m up north now in WV! I miss south Tampa!

    It's been reported time and again that one of the most unhealthiest items is the Bloomin' Onion. That tells me why it's so darn GOOD!!! Steak...gotta be medium rare. That way, if you don't finish it all, when you heat it up the next morning, it's not going to be overcooked. BTW, a Flemings warning, be prepared for sticker shock! But, it's a fairly good place; about on par with Ruth's Chris. If you ever go to the latter, and you love mushrooms...you have GOT to get the schrooms...and the baked potato! Again, not cheap but you will never regret it, I promise!

    It's a SIN to cook a good steak anymore than Medium Rare. Cheap cuts, and burgers(chop meat) I can see medium, never anymore. In fact in my families restaurants in NYC, you were not allowed to order the high end steaks above medium Rare, because the chef refused to ruin a high quality piece of meat. If you wanted medium + you had to order the cheaper steak options.
