Bloomin’ Brands, Inc.
A restaurant company behind Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, serving casual to fine dining across the U.S. and in dozens of other countries. Outback was founded in Tampa in 1988 by four hospitality veterans who picked an Australian theme despite none having been there. The famous Bloomin' Onion was created by co-founder Tim Gannon, who borrowed the idea from a New Orleans fried-onion dish.
