Those Outback restaurants probably appeal mostly to tourists. Its the
same in my area. I live near South Philadelphia where some of the
countries finest Italian restaurants are located, but an Olive Garden
opened up in that area a few years ago and it does a thriving business.
These theme restaurant chains tend to appeal appeal to business
travelers who want a known quantity when they dine out.
