on good food

ive been denying myself going to the outback steakhouse the last few months because ive thought it as a bit defeatist...when in japan do as the japanese do (but i wont even go into how much mcdonalds i eat over here). but amanda and i visited the said steakhouse on friday and came to a few conclusions:

a) we are not used to western style food portions anymore
b) japanese medium means western rare on steaks
c) free bread at restaurants is a godsend
d) we dont know how we went without steak for so long

seriously, this was like going to the keg at home and having the best prime rib theyve ever cooked. im sure it was just okay by vancouver standards but by nagoyan standards it was the bomb (nagoya has great food, but the western food is just okay usually). we both had stomachaches afterwards for eating so much but we didnt care...it was delicious. definately going back there sometime soon...im dying for an onion loaf and bottomless coke.
