They also have hearty desserts that could bring you back to the days when things were as cheerful as your childhood self.  Jeffrey Zulo, Outback’s Executive Chef, has revealed in so many events that the key to their delicious delicacies is the 18 secret spices that are polished together with the fresh meats, making the taste distinctive. Thus, giving every plate a specific profile that would buzz the name of the steakhouse itself.
