It's your basic American fare - nothing Australian about it. The name Outback Steakhouse is just a marketing gimmick to help it stand out from identical American restaurants that all sell the same type/quality of food. They do have some Australian brews on tap though!
. yeah, Buffalo chicken dip (wth) & "Alice Springs" chicken quesadilla - aren't things one would typically find here, lol
Well accents vary there from what I have experienced; same as here or UK. But the key is to be understood easily in a commercial after all. Can't say much for the steaks there tho.

Nope !!
He is a guy named Snow from New South Wales !
I forgot his first name !
By the way, I did ask before what is actually Australian Outback Food ?
I think it is grubs and never shrimp but something called prawns ...
I have a cousin in Brisbane and he was appalled at what the US Outback Steakhouse serves ...
When he found out about *Bloomin Onion*, he mumbled ... WT *X* ???

What american's call shrimp, we call prawns - they are essentially the same animal, the well known Australian commercial about throwing shrimp on the BBQ, was made exclusively for a US audience, so was spoken in language they would understand.
As for what exactly is outback food, I suppose that depends on what you are thinking about. Yes some traditional aboriginal food consisted of grubs, however that was hardly universal, as the grubs consumed do not exist in vast areas of Australia. Aboriginals were primarily meat eaters, and ate Australian Animals such as Kangaroos, which you can find pretty much all over the country.
As for modern outback food, I suppose you could say most people would associate it with traditional British Food (like steaks, Fish and Chips etc), the outback does not have the other big cultural influences that the cities do, even that is changing however. Hence one poster talking about the great Pide she had in Alice springs.

The Bloomin Onion is damn good. Others have tried to copy it and failed.
It's good to see some Australians get their panties in a twist over our "Bloomin Onion".
The Australian names they use for the restaurant and dish names are just a marketing gimmick. You can find those dishes at any American restaurant. I'm not going to argue who invented the dish first, but obviously both countries have some British influence (at least in the Northeastern US) and share a lot of things in common.
