I've seen outback steakhouses everywhere but never been in one. If they actually try to speak in an australian accent then that explains this joke from The Good Place



For those who haven't seen it, it's an American themed restaurant in Australia and the hostess greets you with a really bad fake southern accent. The menu's funny as hell too. Also go watch the Good Place

Oh my god it's the brother of the Fake Guy Fieri Menu

Last time I went to Outback everything was badly overcooked and still somehow made it to the table cold. I don't know why people go to Outback or why this derail is happening, but I really hope this helps.

That's authentic Australian-style cuisine, we like it burnt & cold. :colbert:

I mean, if you've eaten at a violently American eatery, that menu is only, like, two steps above the actual menu. Like every item on there is just "Well, except for this one thing, I think I've seen that on a menu." And/or "Except for that one thing, I would eat that..."

3000 calories doesn't actually seem all that much to me. When I was younger and regularly punishing myself daily for months i topped over 2.5k daily calories multiple times a week and was still hungry. I was young and boxing though so :shrug:

This likely has no bearing though on the average american

Yeah, after all the average american probably eats twice that much and the only boxing they do is unboxing another big mac amirite?

You're right though, with some heavy physical poo poo 3000 calories can easily be a deficit.

Oh yeah? When I was a polar explorer, we ate eight thousand calories and snacked on sticks of butter.

I’m not a polar explorer, but the caloric demands and butter snacking is true of actual polar expeditions.

Yeah, a lot of people don't get just how not fun it is to actually have to eat that much, especially with a lot of the restrictions in place. Like cutting while tryin to keep muscle, it's 4000 calories of chicken breast and broccoli. Readin about the diets of the Mr Olympia contestants is soul crushing because it's just eating for calories not because it's enjoyable or tastes good.

No pain no gain. Regular frat Bros would just have two of them carry the keg up the stairs. And likely it would be a few beers lighter by the time it got to the top.

I remember hearing an interview with Rob McElheny talking about bulking up for Fat Mac and he started off trying to eat enough calories with relatively healthy food, but realized after like a week that he could either be getting the extra calories from eating like 6 extra meals of grilled chicken or whatever or he could just go to McDonalds like once.

I went to an Outback Steakhouse after they first opened in Japan, and the toilets were labelled "Sheilas" and "Joeys" in English, nothing else, and they needed staffers outside to explain which toilet was which. Went back a year or so later and they were labelled "Men" and "Women" in Japanese. I think that they've even dropped the Australian theming there now.

Yeah, it's biology that sucks. We can easily build a machine capable of throwing a keg through a third story window, but if you want to build it out of muscle specifically the only way to do it is having an insane diet and workout schedule for a long time.
