Is the Blooming Onion Worth All That Work?

The steakhouse blooming onion, taken apart. Individual petals fry evenly in three minutes instead of unevenly in seven, and every one of them gets more crust, so the blooming cut happens on camera and then gets pulled apart. Served with a scratch steakhouse petal sauce and hot honey mustard, plus a Gibson: gin, dry vermouth, and a cocktail onion.
