Steak, mate?
Eating dinner at the Outback Steakhouse -- a generic Australian themed restaurant chain -- I thought: are there Canadian themed restaurants in Australia? Ones with hockey sticks on the walls instead of boomerangs; pictures of the Rockies and of Beavers instead of Ayer's Rock and Koalas; the mens washroom labeled for hosers instead of for blokes; and dishes with names like "Toronto Ceaser Salad" instead of "Brisbane Ceaser Salad"?
Then I realized just how tacky and faux-authentic the whole experience is, so I say: leave it to the Australians.
The Texans too.

Well, there's quite a difference between Chinese restaurants and Chinese-themed restaurants.
February 8, 2004 04:03 PM. Posted by: nowak.hmmm - that is a really good point. With some quick (and totally non-authoritative) research, i find no Canadian-themed restaurants in AussieLand! i think i'm going to start one. it would be easy, except what WOULD i label the women's washrooms?
...beavers? ;)
... omg, did i just say that? am i going to get bleeped or put on a seven-second delay? oh, sh*t.
