 Outback Steakhouse® Unveils New Moonshine BBQ Menu Made with Real Moonshine
Outback Restaurants Host Free Nationwide Tasting Event May 21 and 22
Tampa, Fla., May 20, 2014 – In the Outback, we’re all about bold flavors, so for the first time ever, Outback
Steakhouse® is introducing a Moonshine BBQ menu made with real moonshine. To celebrate the launch,
Outback is offering everyone a free sampling from the Moonshine BBQ menu with the purchase of any adult
entrée on Wednesday, May 21 and Thursday, May 22. Guests will receive a free half order of Moonshine BBQ
Wood-Fire Grilled Wings by simply saying “Moonshine BBQ Wings” to their server.
“Bold flavors define Outback, and you can’t get much bolder than authentic moonshine,” said John
Schaufelberger, Chief Marketing Officer for Outback Steakhouse®. “We’re taking moonshine from the mason
jar to the menu and are excited for all of our guests to get a taste.”
The first of its kind Moonshine BBQ menu includes:
•
•
•
•
Sirloin with Moonshine BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp – Outback’s signature sirloin with Moonshine
BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and your choice of one freshly made side
Moonshine BBQ Ribs – each succulent rack is smoked, wood-fire grilled and brushed with
Moonshine BBQ sauce, served with Aussie Fries
Moonshine BBQ Wood-Fire Grilled Wings – tossed with our chef-inspired Moonshine BBQ Sauce
and served with ranch dressing
Try all three Moonshine cocktails including the Huckleberry Hooch and Watermelon Hunch Punch,
made with Ole Smoky® Blackberry Moonshine™ and Just Peachee, made with Georgia Moon®
Peach Moonshine
Additional menu items to hit the sauce include the Moonshine BBQ Combo Platter, complete with
Moonshine BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, 1/3 order of Moonshine BBQ Ribs and Grilled Chicken on the
Barbie, the Double Moonshine Burger and Moonshine BBQ Chopped Salad. Of course, no menu is
complete without dessert and what better way to finish off a Moonshine BBQ meal than with Outback’s new
Skillet Apple Pie, made with warm apples and cinnamon baked in a flakey crust, topped with Blue Bell®
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.
