ddgonzal when you refer to Beers do you mean like in bent axel bobs signature?
If so Bob is basically saying he drinks beer but not just one beer, Bob drinks beers - meaning he drinks many beers in a row.

Outback's aren't in any way Outback.
Most of the menu is American stuff renamed to sound Aussie. Most of it isn't aussie food anyway.
I've been researching Outback steakhouses for awhile now as I'm trying to get back to U.S. for awhile and am trying to get work there so I thought this might be a place to look being an authentic aussie. i even have the Akubra
Oxnard in LA particularly as this is the closest one to my friends where I will be staying.

As far as Fosters....well its so crap we don't even drink it. Thats why we export it to you guys. When I was in U.S. year before last I only drank Heiny's. U.S. beer was like rooting in a canoe. (Fucking close to water)

end rant

You got it. I remember Bob saying Fosters wasn't very popular... I thought maybe (small chance) that "Beers" was a brand.

Anyways, aside from the cheesey menu and the advertisements, the Outback Steakhouse is good. The servers are ordinary and don't try to talk in phony accents -- only the patrons do . There are Oz things hanging on the wall (boomerangs, etc). I hear the one in Spokane, Washington has a genuine stuffed croc hanging on the wall ... of course that leads to stories about alligators living in the city water system and so forth. Not that I've ever seen an american alligator, let alone a croc. Australia is a big country ... I wouldn't expect all parts to be like in the movies, except the cars.

Oh, and next time your in the US kicking back a Foster's, read the label. It say "Brewed and bottled in Canada".

hey if any one wants one of the v.b mp3s or a v.b screen saver i have em if ya want em hahaha by the way i spent a whole day on a fork lift lifted the seat to find an a series in there GO THE DATTO hehe i think it might be a 1400 if it is there gunna find it missing

Yumm... Tex-Mex. I'll second that. I've only been to Texas once, but I can still remember the food.

I'd like to go to Australia and find out what the genuine article is like, sounds like a great country. Here in Seattle I'm getting tired of Starbucks and salmon

I'll have to take you up the offer sometime.

I plan to buy a Datto in California, so I can do a Death Valley run, up to Colorado and do Pikes Peak and drive down through Texas and then make a left turn to "Bourbon Country"!! Yeah!

Fosters is a nice beer to drink in the US. I'm a bit tired of all of the California/Nevada Pale Ale's...maybe I drink too many of them..too often

just because fosters and vb are the most popular beers in OZ, doesnt necessarily mean that they are the best. my favourite aussie beer is Toohey's Old , a great dark ale. It is the the beer I will recommend to my kids when the time comes , good thing too it is the price of standard beers.
