I had the pleasure of attending a special steak tasting at Outback Steakhouse, celebrating their recent crowning by Zagat as 2009 Best Steak of National Service Restaurant Chains.  Once I began tasting the steaks, it was easy to see why.  Outback takes particular care in choosing the best ingredients and serving them in a way […]
