Outback co-founder, Trudy Cooper, told me that it was a natural thing to do since their headquarters is so close to MacDill Air Force Base.
“We already serve meals to our military, how hard could it be to take them meals where they fight?” she asked.
And that’s just what they did. Outback actually drove their catering truck into the back of a C-17 and flew it to Afghanistan in what they called Operation Feeding Freedom. Since that day, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (...), has traveled every year to feed the troops abroad. And they do it without publicizing their efforts. [deletions by pm]
Yeah, good luck on keeping it secret now. h/t Ace's headline sidebar.
