8 Mile Creek NY: Aussie Food Overseas
A friend living in New York recently dined at an Australian themed restaurant called the 8 Mile Creek restaurant and sent me the above picture. According to their website, they’ve been in business for over 10 years sourcing out the best of Australian wine and food for NY. Lamb and barramundi sound great but had to laugh at the “Lygon Street” spaghetti.
Outback Steakhouse, a multinational chain of Australian themed restaurants that has locations in Australia (Australians looking for Australian themed food?), takes the cake with their Kookaburra wings and Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. Maybe they should make their Melbourne steak a huge steak with influences of Asian and Greek spices.
It’s always fun to see foreign food overseas. Most of the stuff isn’t even eaten in the home country.
Even in Melbourne, a lot of ethnic foods are really just for show – spring rolls, dim sims, etc.
