GIVEAWAY SATURDAY
*** I just realized that I never picked a winner for this giveaway! So sorry. Random.org just chose comment #134 - Deirdre. Bon Appetit Deirdre! ***As a blogger in the New York City area, I've been incredibly lucky to be invited to some fantastic events. This week I joined a small group of food bloggers to have dinner at Outback Steakhouse in New York City with Outback's head chef and co-founder, Tim Gannon. The occasion was the launch of Outback's new menu featuring 15 meals under $15.
Tim Gannon and his team began working on this new menu over a year ago when they realized that Outback had become a special occasion dining destination as their price points had gotten more expensive over time. They reinvented their menu to make Outback an "any night" restaurant again. They didn't skimp on quality or freshness to make Outback more affordable. They just changed the way some expensive ingredients are served. For instance, the pork chops have been replaced by a fantastic sweet glazed pork tenderloin, and the filet mignon steak is now served as a sliced tenderloin.
The new Outback menu features 15 meals under 15 dollars. I was relieved that the Bloomin' Onion is still on the menu in a position of honor. I tasted many of these new dishes, and they are incredible. I love that the sirloin is now served with a blue cheese iceberg wedge. Now I can have my steak and feel like I'm being healthy. I also really enjoyed the new roasted filet sandwich, served on a flavorful foccaccia with an exciting au jus for dipping. The crab stuffed shrimp were delicious and can be ordered as an appetizer or paired with the beef tenderloin.Outback has donated a $25 gift card for one of my readers to enjoy some of these new menu items. To enter to win, just leave a comment here with your Outback dish by Friday, March 6. I'll select the winner at random that night. As usual, you can get extra chances to win by linking to this contest on your blog, and subscribing to my feeds for Chefdruck Musings and Chefdruck Reviews. You can also Tweet about it for an extra entry.

like lots of others, i love the blooming onion.
and without being too general, i love any of their steaks. i think it is the seasonings or the way that they cook it!
I'm a simple kind of gal - I love their grilled chicken or pork chops (depending on my mood that day of course) and OF COURSE mashed potatoes...so yummy!

I have to say that I really love Outback for their commitment to Gluten Free. They even serve GF beer. I recently started a GF diet with my youngest & it's great to know it's safe, good food there.
For me - I like a rare prime & coconut shrimp. OK now i'm hungry!
Hello, I enjoy their No Rules Parmesan Pasta and the Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla! The Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie is sinful!
My husband and our two sons are the steak lovers. Please add my name to your fabulous drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
