(The Office...US) I indulged in 1/5 of these approx. six months ago. I felt like I had an oil spill in my stomach. I took my entree to go. I couldn't ingest anything else for the remainder of the evening. Bad day. As someone who was born and raised in the south, I'm well aware that anything tastes amazing fried...but one should not waste the calories and cash on the Awesome Blossom at Chili's. It's not worth it. Worst case scenario...make it at home. Any idiot can deep fry an onion...and it's far more rewarding to make it on your own. Best case scenario...waste the calories and cash on something fabulous, like an amazing piece of steak, or duck...just not an onion...or anything from Chili's. Just my 2 cents. “Awesome Blossom…extra AWESOME!” (The Office…US)
