I've only had a deep fried bloomin' onion once in my life, as a county fair near Charlottesville, VA. It was about nine years ago, but the taste memory of it is still with me. However, they are deadly as far as calories go and so I've stayed away. However, thanks to the advent of this roasted version from the guys at The Bitten Word, I think I may have finally found a suitable substitute.
Thanks guys, for adding this luscious image to the Slashfood Flickr pool!
