TGIF – Don’t Eat That Honey! is our weekly Friday feature that recommends what NOT to eat when you dine out on the weekend.  The temptation is greatest on the weekend.  Whether you are losing weight on your own or have joined our weight loss program, “rewarding” yourself after a long week of work is most difficult to resist.  This series will  highlight the most dangerous foods to avoid. 

Outback Steakhouse Bloomin’ Onion

Outback describes their Bloomin’ Onion as a “A true Outback original. Our special onion is hand-carved by a dedicated bloomologist, cooked until golden and ready to dip into our spicy signature bloom sauce.”  If you look at the nutrition content, it’s more like an onion with 2 shots of grease.  Looks great and tempting, but not worth it.  Skip the appetizers, have 2 beers instead, and just enjoy your steak.  You’ll still come out ahead!
