Pour One Out: Outback Steakhouse
Nov 4, 2026 · 28m
Summary
Brian and Kenzie discuss their upcoming live taping at Rookies Sports Bar in Hoffman Estates, which includes a food drive for God Bless the Gravy. They debate the concept of a "fridge cigarette," with Kenzie identifying Diet Coke as the top answer, before revealing that Outback Steakhouse has filed for bankruptcy. The hosts humorously attribute the chain's decline to Texas Roadhouse's "Cactus Blossom" appetizer, which they joke is a stolen copy of the Bloomin' Onion.
