Tim Gannon, Co-Founder of Outback Steakhouse, Inc. is an extremely successful businessman, great sportsman and a staunch polo sponsor. He is the creator of the “Bloomin’ Onion” recipe, and many of the other dishes on Outback’s menu. An alumnus of Florida State University, he studied art history and dreamed of being a museum curator which took him to Florence, Italy, where he became a tour guide for an art gallery. He then went to Aspen, Colorado where he developed his passion for food and cooking. The French chef at the Four Seasons Hotel had offered to train him to be his assistant. Over the next 14 years he worked at Steak & Ale for Norman Brinker, and then Al Copeland hired Tim to help operate his Copeland’s Cajun Cafe’ in New Orleans. In 1987 Tim sold his saddle for $250.00 and arrived in Tampa with $37.00 in his pocket when Bob Basham and Chris Sullivan asked him to become their partner and launch a new restaurant concept that became known as Outback Steakhouse. In 2012 he started the South Florida Franchise of the new PDQ concept which was founded by his Outback partner, Bob Basham. PDQ (People Dedicated to Quality) is a fast casual restaurant specializing in hand-breaded chicken tenders, hand-tossed salads, sandwiches, fresh cut fries and hand spun milkshakes and malts. PDQ favorites are made with only the finest ingredients, all featuring sauces and dressings homemade everyday. From the very beginning, PDQ was founded on the concept that high-quality food, memorable service and genuine hospitality are the cornerstones to a great restaurant. The first PDQ restaurant officially opened on Sunday, October 30, 2011 across from Plant High School in Tampa, Florida. Dining rooms are contemporary, light and airy, with open kitchens and dining-room attendants in bright green shirts who refill drinks and clear tables. Customers are called by name on a wireless microphone when their food is ready. The South Florida PDQ Franchise has 4 locations which opened in 2013; Oakland Park, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach and Wellington with 3-4 more slated to open later this year.
