Dan Lanning wtf

I have no doubt that some of you can make a better steak than outback. I'm calling bullshit on cooking a 20ish ounce ribeye and two/three random sides for under 30 bucks. Cooking has gotten expensive too.

Think someone threw out prime as well. That shit isn't cheap.

 

For the same price as <menu item at restaurant>, I can get <better ingredients> and cook it at home.

No duh.

 

yeah but you got a 32oz fosters on draft at home? Or that brown bread stuff ?

 

Wife and I mostly go for the rolls.

 

user a.tramp has this weird bit where he pretends their cinnamon butter sucks

 

I'm not a huge fan of steak tbh. My wife would eat it every day. But I stand by steak being no different than any other food. Having the top tier is great but eating an average steak is still a decent meal. Saying you're too good for an Outback steak is some bullshit. Like the best chicken sandwich I've had by a wide margin was a place in Asheville but I can still enjoy a Popeyes chicken sandwich too.

Bringing up cost and cooking at home is moving the goalposts. The original comment was once you've had elite, you can't go back. By your logic, once you've had a Peter Luger steak you can't eat steak anywhere else, even at home. That's bullshit.

 

You just fell out of the trust tree!

 

I’m cooking a kickass steak tomorrow night

 

So they tried to roast Lanning but he finished them right?

 

elaborate please.

 

I’ve never had steak from an Outback/Texas Roadhouse/etc tier restaurant

I’m sad I can’t participate

 

Outback was our HS football team dinner meal every week.

I'm far too good for it now and would never go.

 

Well, I’m going to put it on the heat and cook it. It’ll be great. From a butcher shop

 

In honesty, debating the grill with a sear and slow smoke or cast iron.

 

Not a huge steak fan

Very opinionated about steaks

 

Not very opinionated on steaks, just cringe at the "I'm too good for average _____" takes. If you don't like steak, cool. But "I've had elite ______, therefore I can't eat what peasants eat" is lame.

 

I'm tentatively planning on getting the sous vide and blow torch out for new years eve. Haven't used that stuff lately.

 

Smoking a butt that day

 

$24.99 a pound. Got two of them to cook for the wife and I since we are isolated with Covid.

 

If this board had superlatives, this thread would win “Typical TMB”. We’re checking all the boxes here, gentlemen.

 

I think we are on the same page here.

 

How's the butthole?

 

Good. Today has been much better thank you. Have not ate much but am able to keep liquids in.

 

we are all aware you hold the McRib as fine cuisine

 

Na it's quite meh but it's nostalgia is elite.

 

I could eat cooked onions like candy but then it's just violent farts afterwards

 

Do you know how many ounces are in a pound because this does not help your argument?

 

We need to have a rule against posting this

 

I've never eaten at an Outback before, I just realized

 

salad and bread fucks. Alice springs chicken is good

the rest sucks and might kill you

 

Ate at out back recently for the first time in a while. Had a fried shrimp appetizer that had the same breading as blooming onion. Pretty good. Also had solid bacon chees fries.

 

Outback isn’t the place to go for amazing entrées, but it hands down has the best cheese fries and ranch combo out there.

 

It should be treated as bar food and you won’t be disappointed

 

You don’t eat salad, damn liar

 

The conversations on chain restaurants are generally pretty stupid.

 

I'd do almost anything to go back to 2008 and eat at Outback

 

The prime rib sandwich was the greatest late night meal for my 25 year old self

Think they discontinued it, probably wasn’t very good but absolutely loved it

Can’t hate on cheese fries, if you wanna consume 2000 calories of fat

 

On the topic of shitty things I loved in college, TJI Fridays cheesy potatoes were fantastic. $12 sirloin with cheesy potatoes was fine dining

Last night I had a $50 filet and crab cake I hated. Wish I could get back to simpler times

 

It’s called Aussie cheese fries, please get it right

 

What's stopping you?

 

I’m legit jealous, the Outback here somehow fucks them up every damn time…burnt and undercooked simultaneously cooked in oil that probably should’ve been changed 2000 miles ago

 

This is a ridiculously bad opinion.

 

I feel this so much

 

not being broke and evolving my taste buds

 

aussie footy

 

Nothing wrong with liking cheesy potatoes.

 

Or that oversized knife that barely cuts the bread to spread that butter on and make the bread smushed?

 

It raises so many questions. Did he cook both of those pot roasts in the same crock pot? Or did he use two separate ones?

 

They actually served better meat back then. About 10 years ago they downgraded everything.
