The first time I ever had a bloomin' onion from Outback Steakhouse, I had just had dental work done, and it was not the experience I was hoping for. When I went back, however, the flavor profile alone was exceptional and worth the wait, not to mention the dipping sauce that accompanies this fun appetizer.
