Plot twist, the Outback Steakhouse in Aspley you went to ironically was a Lone Star Steakhouse previously many years ago, and was popular back then. Only scratched the surface of things. Sauce on the pies and sausage rolls is next level. And next time you must explore the pubs and their food, that's where the real outback steakhouses are.

[@ilovelimpfries]

This dude went 110% american tourist mode in australia. Legend.

[@philip4193]

Yes, a meat pie is usually eaten with a big dob of tomato sauce splashed on top. And as my father (who was an Irish immigrant) taught me as a kid, the measure of a true-blue Aussie was being able to eat a pie with sauce one-handed (and these were the old-school mass-produced square "footy pies" with a runny mince & gravy filling and a thin, soggy pastry base served in a shallow & fragile foil tray) without spilling the whole lot down the front of your shirt and into your lap; the reason why it was essential that you be able to achieve this one-handed was because you'd [naturally] be holding a frosty can of beer in the other hand.

As soon as this dude said he was flying into Brisbane I knew it had to be “that random Outback in Aspley”. Sure enough it was. How utterly random.

As a Queenslander on the Gold Coast I find your pronunciation of Queensland is acceptable either way. Australian food - kanga bangers (kangaroo meat sausages) , meat pies, and we fight New Zealand about the origins of lamingtons and pavlova. Other than that, yep our food is what you'd find in the US or UK. Our bread doesn't tend to be as sweet as bread in the US.That pie looked like about a 6 to me too but the best pies are from Yatala - just off the freeway half way from Gold Coast to Brisbane. The "koala" signs are really warnings about drop-bears, an aggressive and carnivorous variety of koalas that our tourism industry suppresses information about, to avoid scaring off tourists. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay and i'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos!

[@jennatandy6272]

I’m an American who luckily knows about the dangerous drop bear and i recently made a presentation to warn my friends about them. Sadly they didn’t take it seriously meaning that are more susceptible to an attack. Is it true that drop bears are more likely to attack those without Australian accents? Something about the comfort the drop bear gets from a non-foreign accent.

[@Respectable_Username]

@@jennatandy6272Nah nah, the misconception about the accent is just correlation, not causation. It's the Vegemite that actually keeps drop bears at bay, though I'n not sure if it's been conclusively proven if just eating it is enough or if you have to also rub some behind your ears!

My father took a trip to Perth a long time ago and learned that nobody drinks Fosters. In fact, the locals called it kangaroo piss. I guess that sums up how bad it is! Now on the other hand, I am overjoyed that my local supermarket stocks Tim Tams. I blame Natalie Imbruglia for getting me hooked on those (she was spotted at a restaurant munching on one and I had to find out why she loved those so much.).

@@darmou We did have Lowes here under the name "Masters" years ago which was badly managed by Woolworths group due to fast expansion. I was really excited because everyone shops at Bunnings and Lowes would've been a great competitor for prices. Bunnings just monopolizers everything. Other than that we have Miter10 which is a smaller store but I shop at them or the local timber yards.

A lot of people incorrectly think we just call ketchup tomato sauce but nope, they have totally different ingredients!

Tomato sauce is more vinegary and less sugar than ketchup but agreed - it’s essential for a good pie/sausage roll experience. I would gag trying to eat them without sauce - way too dry 😂

[@thefumexxl]

Outback was opened because a group of rich dudes wanted a spot to have drinks and a steak after a round of golf. It got it's theme becase Crocodile Dundee was SUPER popular while they were hatching their genius plan to eat and drink for free by building their own restaurant. I worked for one, and the brand is very proud of it's origin story, and it's a central part of the onboarding process when you're hired. Another fun detail that they're weirdly proud of-- an inventor local to their original location loved it and wanted to help them streamline the Bloomin Onion. He fabricated a customized potato cutter (like for fries). They didn't accept his invention because they didn't think it was worth paying for it (he offered it up VERY cheap). He spent so much time on it and had no other use for it, so he just gave it to them for free with 0 contract etc. Naturally they immediately got a patent and now it's a cornerstone part of their very dumb lore...

[@drillhex4471]

To be fair starting a restaurant so your mates and you can sit around drinking and eating steak for free is a very australian origin story.

Driving on the left-hand side of the road. Travellers were vulnerable to attacks and muggings. So they’d keep to the left of the road to pass oncoming people, with their swords ready in their right hands to defend themselves from assault if necessary. So it's the Romans 1620 years ago in what is now England that probably started it. 64 countries around the world drive on the left .

Yo, the outback steakhouse is around the corner from a place I used to lived in. Also, sauce on a meat pie or sausage roll is quite common. Typical sauces are tomato sauce (ketchup) or BBQ sauce. A snag also usually comes with caramelised onions, and most people would also add a sauce on top of it. Hope that helps.

I find it amazing that you thought that only the UK drove on the left. Most Americans think that it is the UK and the former colonies, which is still wrong, but shows a bit of thought. Japan, Thailand and Mozambique were never British, but they all drive on the left. So did about half of Europe as Austria-Hungary drove on the left and so did all her successor states until Germany took them over and then the USSR took them from Germany. Scandinavia mostly drove on the left, with Sweden being the last one to switch in the late 1960s.
