The Real Outback Steakhouse

We're a little peeved with the Outback Steakhouse right not, because Andrew Zimmern visited the Aussie Outback on the latest episode of Bizarre Foods, and there was not a bloomin' onion in sight. WTF?

In fact, we didn't even see any steaks at all on his journeys with Aboriginal people in the Outback, although we're not actually that surprised. He did find plenty of great eats, from the legs of poisonous toads, to the hearts of wallabies and even the dirt from termite mounds (apparently, they're great for digestion and taste fresher near the top – who knew?).

If you've still got an appetite, we actually thought the Mindil Beach Sunset Market looked pretty cool and is definitely going on any potential Aussie itinerary. After green ants and termite mounds, how bad can fried emu taste?
