TAMPA, FLA. (June 27, 2023) – Outback Steakhouse® is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, and so is its often-imitated-never-duplicated appetizer enjoyed by over 8 million guests every year. On National Onion Day, June 27, 2023, Outback Steakhouse invites its Bloomin’ Onion® fandom to dine in and dive into its spicy signature bloom sauce to mark the special occasion. Guests enjoying a meal at their local Outback anytime on June 27 can receive one free Bloomin’ Onion per table with the purchase of one adult entree by mentioning “National Onion Day” to their server.

“There’s only one place to be on National Onion Day – enjoying a Bloomin’ Onion,“ said Brett Patterson, President of Outback Steakhouse. “Our iconic appetizer revolutionized the industry and is so popular that it deserves its own day of celebration, so we’re looking forward to giving guests what they love.“

“The Bloomin’ Onion was invented by one of Outback’s four founders, Tim Gannon, who aimed to create a delicious come-back flavor; he knew that guests could not stop at one petal. Today, Bloomin’ Onions are cooked and crafted by Bloomologists and served on a trademarked pedestal displaying the fitting message, “on another level.” There is an average of over 200 petals per onion, and Outback uses over 14 million pounds of colossal onions in a year.
