First I was a hostess, then a cashier and take out girl, then a waitress. I stopped working there when I moved down to college, it was bittersweet. But a year later when I came back for a summer, I worked two new jobs. Law firm by day, restaurant by night. This time Chinese wasn’t part of the deal. It was steak and blooming onions every night at Texas Roadhouse. That’s right, all you can eat famous Texas Roadhouse rolls and needless to say, I put on a few shameless pounds that summer. So worth it when I could have a blooming onion at the drop of a hat. Have you tried one?? Ahhhh, the sauce. I love the house dipping sauce, as well as a bucket of ranch dressing because really, I have addiction issues when it comes to ranch. My husband is totally 100 percent on the same page which means we usually have several very large cups of ranch at the table. Anyway back to the blooming onion… I no longer work at Texas Roadhouse but since I’ve made this version at home, I don’t feel the need to drive clear across town to order one. Plus it’s baked so it’s healthier than the restaurant version but just as delicious! The process of coating the onion petals may be a little bit tedious, but it is soooo worth it!
