This guy went to extraordinary lengths for a free steak dinner and people were really, really divided by it
There’s no such thing as a free lunch but is there such a thing as a free steak dinner?
We only ask after a chap called @baconflavouring on Twitter – guess that means he enjoys his meat – wondered if he could get a free meal by doing this.
if I went to Outback Steakhouse by myself tonight and asked for a table for 2, then got progressively sadder as the night went on alone, do you think they’d give me my steak for free?

And he did it, he really did it.

GOOD THING I CALLED AHEAD!

when I parked, I took the jumper cables in my trunk out of the bag they came in and stuff some shoebox paper I had in the backseat into it to make it look like a bought a present

i mean there can’t be a sadder image than a guy in a suit
at Outback Steakhouse

on Valentine’s Day
sitting across from an untouched decanter of white wine.

it’s 9:45. the kitchen closes in 15 minutes. i’m going to wait until my waiter comes by and i’m gonna finish the wine in one swig from the decanter – no glass necessary
