"Outback Steakhouse is an Australian-themed American casual dining
restaurant chain, serving American cuisine, based in Tampa, Florida"
(wikipedia)

A confusing formula. I guess you're eating American beef, surrounded by
pictures of kangaroos and emus.

"with almost 1000 locations in 23 countries throughout North, South
America, Europe, Asia, and Australia" (wikipedia)

This reads as if there are multiple countries in Australia, but anyway.
Strange to start Australian themed restaurants where you don't serve
Australian food and then to open franchises in Australia.

Maybe that idea didn't work very well because www.outback.com, that
addresses me as 'mate' and has a special deal on "No Worries Wednesday",
only lists locations in the US.
