Okay, I am one to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, and that would include restaurants. However, after several visits, if the food doesn't taste any better than a wet dish towel, something is wrong--dead wrong.
What is the big deal about Outback Steakhouse? I have visited separate Outback locations in different cities and found both pieces of meat I ordered next to tasteless. Yes, I am serious. That even includes a take out order for good measure.
Can I grill a better steak? You bet I can, so I do have room to talk. The secret is in the marinade, of which the meat-slingers at Outback apparently have little knowledge.
And then there is Cane's Chicken. How bland can a piece of chicken get? Why even put some batter on a piece of yard bird and cook it at all unless it is seasoned? Why, it's a disgrace to all Southerners to offer up our favorite dish with such lackluster flavor.
What puzzles me, after visits to Cane's more than once in Shreveport and Ruston, everyone I talk to agrees that they do not go to the restaurant for the chicken, but for the sauce. Come on folks. It's simply mayo, ketchup and a sprinkle of spices. You can make that at home in less than five minutes.

It is good to hear from you. You can't possibly be serious about Outback and Cane's being your favorite places to eat.
No doubt I can make a better steak than Outback--blind-folded with one hand behind my back. The chicken will have to come from Popeye's, Church's or Kentucky.
Actually I love Cane's. Not my favorite restaurant, but good enough for strips.
Doesn't have that frozen taste and is much better than any other restaurant's chicken strips around here, imo.
But I agree, it's not like homeade at all.
Wow, your just hilarious! I mean you've got to be kidding me. Have you gone insane and lost your taste buds? I have personally tasted Canes chicken without the amazing sauce because my brother took mine, but anyway, the chicken is still fabulous and definitely isn't tasteless. Tell me when you find something "Tasty-er".
