Red Lobster fans

Hate to see this happen, but Darden, under pressure, to spin off or sell Red Lobster.

Went to one RL - thought it was way overpriced and haven't been back since.

After our visit there several years ago, I read in some paper that RL was perceived by many people that it was overpriced. I agreed with that.

Who cares? ... RL is nothing more than overpriced, mediocre, plastic corporate food. Support a good, local family- owned restaurant instead.

Being from New England, the Red Lobsters in my area never worked out. People who wanted Lobster and Seafood went to a local establishment that got most of their stuff straight from the docks.

Funny you mention that because I just got a couple boxes from our local Albertsons/united grocery store....and jokingly told my wife that RL must be hurting if they are selling their secrets in a box...ha!

Just what biscuits are we talking about here? I'm assuming the biscuits/rolls that you get from the RL walk in resturants.

That's how long it's been since we been there.

I think RL calls them Cheddar Bay biscuits, the standard bread they give out at the restaurants with meals.

Yes sir..the cheddar bay biscuits they are known for...I'll admit after having fresh caught seafood from many locations all over , RL isn't much to talk about...but the BISCUITS were legendary! ! Lol..

Meh (shrug) went once, years ago.

Used to really enjoy Joe's Crab Shack. If they don't get it together they may end up in the same boat.

We can get lobster locally (or have it shipped in) and DH cooks it here at home, in a huge crab pot handed down through several generations.

Yeah, I married a Yankee, son of a son of a New York commercial fisherman.

He makes deviled clams that'll make ya swoon! A recipe handed down through those same generations.

SO....RL, JCS, whutevuh. I'm a seafood snob.

This round wasn't even bad...just kinda cold by our standards (7-8 for lows)...the previous storm that dumped all the ice was way more inconvenient. ..of course it only lasts a day or two...50 something again today!.lol...u know west texas!
