How to ruin simple food

by Agulhas at Citysearch

To start with I had to send the caesar salad back because of the pepper content - why put such an excessive amount of seasoning on a simple salad when people can add their own to taste??

Then the steak ... a perfectly good cut of meat, and cooked rare as ordered ... but under a thick excessive "seasoning" that just overpowered the flavor of the meat.

In short ... good, simple food ruined. Outback is to be avoided if you have taste buds.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Over-seasoned food

unedible salt laiden food

by tom yaz at Citysearch

I ordered the Sirloin Steak, steamed veggies and rice. sounds simple? Not at all! The steak was seared with some kind of pressed George Forman grill press process burnt and dried to the point of being tougher then shoe leather. The salt content in the meat and rice and veggie sides made my B pressusre raise til my face turned bright red. Back to the kitchen it went. I guess you would need a iron cast stomache to be able to digest this garbage. A single dinner roll was brought to the table on a cutting board. I just looked at it and said to the waitress... and we are supposed to split one dinner roll this 4 ways? UGhhhh never again.

• Pros: salty food if you like that
• Cons: salt msg and food additives galore
