So let me tell you about my day yesterday … for the most part, it was pretty chill … no big problems … until I found out that Yahoo! mail has been effing up for the past month and, long story short, has been filtering out some very important emails out of my Gmail inbox. Essentially, they stopped forwarding my email even tho I pay for their email forwarding service. I mean, it’s not that big a deal but I missed out on a lot of important emails over the past month so I was a bit perturbed. I decided to go down my sorrows in a deep dish of Aussie Cheese Fries (pronounced Auzzie Chayze Froys) at the Outback Steak House in Burbank, CA last night and I was brutally rebuffed upon arrival. It turns out that the cast and crew of NBC‘s new series Kath & Kim had closed down the place for a private party. Not only was I really annoyed that I couldn’t get my cheese fries fix but the gentleman turning away paying customers at the door was very rude … needless to say, they are all on my shit list right about now:
I actually considered hanging around for a bit so that I could give Molly Shannon and Selma Blair a piece of my mind but … meh, I just went home instead. Grrr … I can forgive most things but if you eff with my cheese fries, you’re pretty much dead to me.
Tonight is Britney Night at Tiger Heat and Darion suggested that we venture out to check it out … I think I may take him up on the offer. I’ve not been out on the town in quite a while and I have a hard time saying no to anything Britney related … so we’ll see. I might have to sate my hunger at Outback before I go tho … we’ll see.
What are Aussie Cheese Fries? Im certain that they’re an american invention. We don’t even call them fries unless we have to when ordering them from a McDonalds or KFC, we call them ‘chips’. We certainly never put cheese on them. Also, “Chayze Froys” would be either a british or american person doing an australian accent…
O’Charley’s has an Irish name but American cuisine. They even promote themselves that way. It’s just a theme. The food doesn’t have to be Australian. Outback uses Australia has its theme. Australian names, accents in the commercials, boomerangs and such everywhere for decor. I honestly don’t think they’re trying to be an authentic Australian restaurant. Just a marketing ploy.
Well, Jenn, at least some “American’s” know that you don’t use an apostrophe to make a noun plural. And to write off an entire nation, especially one this large, as being ignorant of other cultures, is pretty damn ignorant. I personally have been to seven countries, including one I lived in for a few months, and I’m sure other people here have plenty more world travel experience than I do. [And I didn't just stick to touristy spots, either.] But thanks for that awesome dismissal of our entire country.
hehe, im glad all the other australians came here to say the same thing – WHAT THE EFF ARE CHEESE (yes, CHEESE not “CHAYZE”) FRIES?!?! we dont even call them “fries” we call them “chips” for crying out loud.
the outback restaurant has NO AUSTRALIAN food in it. if more australians knew about that place, they would be horrified and appalled.

seriously..
