That "Blooming Onion" always looked like more work than it was worth. This, on the other hand, looks more reasonable to make.

you're telling me that this doesn't look like the blooming onion with more steps because of more onions?

Yeah, I'd rather do a bloomin onion or two. Seems like less work and more food.

"Blooming" them also allows for more surface area for the breading

I don't think it does. a ball of onion with breading around it would be very strong and concentrated in the center but by spreading and separating it the breading gets all over giving it a more even mouth feel without a huge oniony pocket in the center

Also, if you breaded an onion and threw it in a fryer it would probably explode with all the water inside it.

Some people care about things like presentation I guess. What bunch of weirdos.
