Outback Steakhouse is celebrating its 20th birthday this month and with that comes the anniversary of the Bloomin’ Onion, Outback’s signature dish and the first item on the menu 20 years ago.

Here are some interesting facts on the Bloomin’ Onion:

  • Outback has sold more than 133.5 million Bloomin’ Onions.
  • 15 million Bloomin’ Onions are sold each year.
  • Before it is “bloomed,” each onion is specially grown to be 16 ounces big and 4 ½ inches wide!
  • The Bloomin Onion remains true to its original recipe: 17 different spices to flavor the onion and an additional 37 spices in the dipping sauce.

In honor of its birthday, Outback has also created a select number of special menu items that are only available through the end of April. For more information and to view the menu items, visit: http://www.outback.com/foodandmenus/featureditems.aspx

Now you know you want a Bloomin’ Onion, don’t you. Come on. Go get one. What better way to celebrate a birthday than to stuff your face with a Bloomin’ Onion? None, I tell ya!
