According to a release, a total of 29 volunteers carried out OSI's mission to bring U.S. and coalition soldiers a taste of home from its restaurant brands in America - Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine.
"This most recent mission to the Middle East marks our seventh trip overseas to feed the men and women who have stepped up to serve our country ," said Bill Allen, Chief Executive Officer of OSI Restaurant Partners. "The mission has proved to be a valuable experience for all of our volunteers. Good food is an everyday comfort at home and they enjoy having the opportunity to boost morale by providing a few of our classic signature dishes to these brave men and women who are defending freedom overseas and are away from their loved ones - it is indeed an honor for all of us at OSI."
The first launch of Operation Feeding Freedom began with a team of Outbackers who traveled to Afghanistan in 2002 to feed troops stationed there. Since that trip, over 100 members of the OSI team have made another six trips serving troops in Djibouti, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and aboard the USS Nimitz in Bahrain. Overall, 137,000 troops have been served at numerous forward command locations.
OSI said the effort would not have been possible without the support and contributions of its purveyors and vendors. The menu featured signature dishes such as the Outback Bloomin' Onion, Bonefish Bang Bang Shrimp, and Fleming's Calamari. Also served were steaks, potatoes, Carrabba's signature pastas, Bonefish Longfin Tilapia with Lobster Thermidor Sauce and Roy's Beef Short Ribs.
OSI is a casual dining restaurant company.
