A Giveaway for You: $25 Outback Steakhouse Gift Card

The winner of this giveaway is Happy Momma!

Last week one of the amazing marketing gals that sends me free stuff to review e-mailed me to see if I wanted a $25 gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate their 20th birthday this month. I said, ‘Hey, sure, but how about one to give away to my readers? They totally rock.’ And she agreed because she’s awesome like that.

So here’s the marketing spiel from my gal:

Outback Steakhouse is celebrating its
20th birthday this month and with that comes the anniversary of the Bloomin’
Onion, Outback’s signature dish and the first item on the menu 20 years
ago.

Here are some interesting facts on the
Bloomin’ Onion:

  • Outback has sold more than 133.5 million
    Bloomin’ Onions.
  • 15 million Bloomin’ Onions are sold
    each year.
  • Before it is “bloomed,” each onion
    is specially grown to be 16 ounces big and 4 ¬Ω inches wide!
  • The Bloomin Onion remains true to its
    original recipe: 17 different spices to flavor the onion and an additional
    37 spices in the dipping sauce.

In honor of its birthday, Outback has
also created a select number of special menu items that are only available
through the end of April. 

OK. Now, you want to win that gift certificate so you can order a Bloomin’ Onion or one of the other special menu items, right? Here’s what you need to do: leave me a comment. Just one comment (duplicates make me annoyed and you don’t want to make me annoyed–yes I’m totally aware of the grammar of that sentence. I sacrificed the grammar for the poor Hulk reference.).

Want more than one chance to win? You can post about Outback’s 20th birthday and link to their special menu items to spread the word. Then come here and leave your permalink so I can verify that you do you, indeed, have a double entry for this giveaway.

I’ll leave this giveaway open all week and choose a winner on Friday. I’ll e-mail the winner and then said winner will need to contact the vendor to have the card sent to you. Don’t worry–I’ll have all the info you need. Good luck!
