So I've eaten a few times at the Outback - as a the token Aussie visiting the US, the locals thought I might feel at home.

I'd never heard of that restaurant prior to the first time in the US (the local's were surprised), and yes, the menu is nothing like an Aussie meal - at home or at a "pub". I had to ask "what is a bloomin onion?", to which there was surprise that I asked that question.

The beer, Fosters, is a very successful brand - Outside of Australia. I dont know anybody here who drinks it, and I rarely see it in the liquor stores (its probably there, I just dont notice it - and never seen anybody buy it).

Every state has their "favourite beer" - so depending on where you are (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, etc) will depend on what is the known/popular beer...
