Emus aren't an invasive species, they are native to Australia It's just that they were migrating and taking over farmland, consuming crops (during a time when farmers were struggling to make a living growing wheat during the Great Depression) and destroyed fences which allowed rabbits to further cause more problems. So the military stepped in...out of 20K emus, they only got 986
Uh...so basically, Outback Steakhouse has NOTHING to do with Australia. LOL!! Maybe some dummy went to Australia because they LOVED Outback Steakhouse 😂😂😂
@@shenlun That's not entirely true. The three founders of OS were inspired by Australian people being fun-loving, gregarious and laid back and they wanted that atmosphere for their restaurants. It was just a coincidence that the Crocodile Dundee II movie was out at the time. At first they wanted to call it Dundee's or Sydney's as homage to Aus but decided on Outback as all three men previously worked at another steakhouse called Steak and Ale during the 1970's that had an American Frontier desert theme so they compared it to the outback being the wild west of the Aussie frontier.
@@katemedcraft yeah never heard the mushroom song thing might be a local regional ad or something, otherwise just some more good ol trolling foreigners
@@Maddiemoo246 definitely not a troll, the mushroom ad is newer and not iconic but our ads are soo different. Think "bananananana nanana, make those bodies sing!" and "Have an ava" whereas when I was in America there were numerous ads for drugs like "Ask your doctor about Zoloft today"
As a Brit it’s the same for us when we see ‘British’ food in the US. Like at theme parks (Harry Potter etc etc). I presume it’s inspired by & not exact copies 🤷🏼♂️
Outback Steakhouse is as Australian as our nuclear missiles Yes, the chain was founded in Florida by people who have never even been to Australia. While the timing of the restaurant's founding was around the time Crocodile Dundee came out, they didn't carry on its success but rather based it off Australia's "fun-loving and gregarious people, and very casual people. We thought, `That's exactly the kind of friendliness and atmosphere we want to have in our restaurants.'" They went from doing an American West steakhouse...to an Aussie West one
By camera man do you mean just a couple tripods set up? Those were a majority of the shots mixed in with some handheld footage from the people sitting at the table probably.
Outback is based on 1990s US stereotypes of Australia cooked to American tastes. It's Australian the way General Tso's Chicken is Chinese. US culture is fusion, not authenticity.
It's not based on a stereotype, the three owners liked Australian people as we are laid back, fun loving and gregarious (at the time, probably not so much now!) and they wanted that atmosphere for their restaurants. Coincidentally Crocodile Dundee II was out at the same time, they had two other name choices, Sydney's or Dundee's but named it outback as all three had previous experience working at another steakhouse called Steak and Ale that had an American Frontier desert theme and the outback is the Aussie version.
I’m an Australian and when I highlighted under another post about this chain that really none of the food at Outback Steakhouse is stuff that we eat, I got shredded by Americans who told me NO ONE there thinks it’s Australian food. I mean, you can understand the confusion… given the whole chain is Australian themed. 😶
No kill it. It’s a business mocking another culture not just the food but the theme of Australia they mock because Americans aren’t capable to comprehend other cultures exist outside their own.
The food has to be made perfectly for the show. I went to Outback for my birthday and it was really bad. Overcooked over seasoned. I didn't even leave a review because there was nothing good to say!
I'm sad that she doesn't have true friends to do a small amount of research and cook some authentic food for her. Let me know if you're heading by Wisconsin. I'll hook you up properly.
Outback Steakhouse was created by three Americans without a lack of real knowledge about what is really Australian but it was made mostly in jest not stupidity. They based it on Aussie humour and our fun loving, laid back and gregarious natures (at the time, more of us aren't like that now cause of C) It's an American restaurant with a loose Aussie theming, not really genuine and its not meant to be genuine. Our Hog's Breath Cafes (actually a steakhouse) are more Australian themed then OS if you go to one! They have a huge collection of real Australiana from signs to posters to actual surfboards and stuff! It's real fun spotting things as each restaurant is designed differently. We eat only a few items on that menu, the baked potato (we have restaurants that only specialise in them!) and the deep fried mushrooms. I have seen those served for many decades at multiple Aus steakhouses and a chicken franchise called Chicken Express here. We have steaks but they aren't quite as large unless you pay big money for higher quality meat. The filet minon and lobster is called 'surf and turf' and you can choose prawns too. Jam donuts are a common Aussie bakery treat but its slightly different here, generally raspberry or strawberry jam depending on who makes them.
99% of Americans know absolutely nothing whatsoever about Australia other than Americans propaganda they feed each other. Hopefully one day America gets the internet so they can self educate seeing that very few of them have ever even owed a passport or had any interest in the world they take up space in. 😬🤡
@@rachkate76 They have the internet but don't use it properly! I read an article a while ago that nearly 45% of Americans have never left their small towns or state!

LOl. My American husband did this for me on year, and on Australia Day of all days. My reaction was much like hers. Also man I miss the dropbears, the sound of them thudding to the ground taking out their prey on a warm summers evening is just the sound of summer to me.
Grown up on jam doughnuts in Scotland and England, and it has never once occured to me to eat a hot one. Got a few in the kitchen, gonna try one now. Also loved the Drop Bear Conspiracy at the end 😂

@@vietster1141991 im not 100% sure but i think It is because we usually do the churrasco at home so when we go for a restaurant a lot of people like outback

Actually, they've already done a concept like that years ago... they didn't take them to the restaurants but rather they got Mexicans, Italian grandmas, and Chinese to come to BuzzFeed and have Taco Bell, Olive Garden, and Panda Express respectively

“We just say cheers.” LOL
