Outback Steakhouse with Jon Gabrus

"Outback Steakhouse with Jon Gabrus" is Episode 4 of *Doughboys*, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Outback Steakhouse with Jon Gabrus" was released on June 4th, 2015.

## Synopsis

The boys are joined by *Guy Code*’s Jon Gabrus to review the Aussie inspired steak chain.

## Nick's intro

In the late 1980s, nothing was bigger in America than Australia. The success of the films *Crocodile Dundee* and *Young Einstein* along with music acts like INXS and Midnight Oil put the former penal colony at the forefront of the American consciousness.

In 1988, a group of Florida-based restaurateurs saw an opportunity to capitalize on this trend, settling on an Australian theme for their new steakhouse concept.

On the back of its aggressively-seasoned meats, Aussie-accented marketing, and signature app, the Blooming Onion, this Down Under steakery now boasts nearly 1000 locations across five continents, including Australia.

This week on *Doughboys*, we're talking Outback Steakhouse.

## Wiger Challenge

In this challenge, Nick presents Mitch and the guest a mystery beverage, and they try to guess what it is. The closest guess is declared the winner and receives the remainder of the drink.

The drink was described as pink, smells like Bubble Tape, and tastes like "aged Hawaiian Punch." Mitch finds a flaw in Wiger's game when he points out that he can tell what brand it is due to the size of the can.

Despite knowing the brand, neither Mitch nor Gabrus are able to guess the correct flavor: AriZona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail.
