I don’t really care for the bloomin’ onion - however, my favorite bar food?
Big old steak fries. Whooooo what I won’t do to a big basket of ‘em!

Nothing better ever, ever than Waffle House hashbrowns scattered, smothered and covered!

Outback Steakhouse story — where the heck did this nutter get the idea he could sell the bloomin’ onion as an Australian dish? 42 years of being an Australian qualifies me to tell you — there is no such thing on the menu there! Nothing close. Lamb, yes, bloomin’ onion, no! What a joke O/S is. And as for fries smothered in bacon and cheese. Oh please…. They don’t even serve up good lamb there either — just some mashed up ‘matter.’ Lamb is the staple of the Australian meat diet. And not a lamb chop to be seen on the menu! And the steak at O/S is not that great either. Blackstone is much better.

Joe, I’m about to throw up… Seriously? You are pulling our collective legs, right? !!

I go to the Shoney’s Big Boy breakfast buffet and then pile as much bacon and eggs and grits as one plate can hold, and then I roll my scooter (I’m too fat to walk under my own power) over to the liquid cheese dispenser and cover the entire plate with the stuff. Eat it all, repeat at least twice. My doctors says this is bad for me, and was very upset when I told him that I get a large milkshake to go after this meal.

Hey Koala,
Just adding some stupidity to an already stupid question. No one should be suggesting options for people who are looking for a high fat meal. Head on over the nearest mall food court and see if people haven’t found ways to stuff themselves already.
I can’t claim that I made up the above suggestion though - a friend of mind witnessed such a display (nacho cheese on top of a plate of bacon and eggs). The scooter and milkshake were my poetically licensed embellishments.
