Red Lobster considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing losses from “Endless Shrimp”
- Thread starter y_p_w
- Start date
Had to check if it was in the humour section, as in no kidding they will lose money on this.
It's called a loss leader and if that doesn't work, stop doing it?

@AutoMechanic , @Hermann ..., I've seen the Cheddar Red Lobster biscuit mix in Walmart. It's $2.64 a box. They also have frozen biscuits but I'd avoid those.

They don’t even taste the same unfortunately. I wish they did though.
O yes they do if you make them right they also have them in honey butter too...
Yup was at one in Clovis NM about a month ago and the food was great....BUT the prices sure have gone way up....

Have a mom & pop place that does AYCE catfish on Friday. They raised the price 2X last year and 1X already this year …
I see pigs load plates three times - I get one plate …
If I ever see the manager - have a thought

Yep, mostly near malls. They even have a commercial advert campaign out...
Well, I looked and there is not a single location in MA, RI, NH, VT, or ME, so I guess that makes sense why I can't remember seeing one recently.

Might be New England has a lock of seafood and it isn't worth their while there. But there are a few locations here in Upstate NY and PA, but definitely have retracted location wise as even being near a mall isn't what it used to be. There's three here now when I think they might have had double those locations in the 90's, also one just over the border in Canada nearby...

So you did. Excellent!!
Red Lobster is the King of overpriced tasteless food imo. Olive Garden is the Queen. I can see the hype for the biscuits, but I'm not big on biscuits unless they are slathered in sausage gravy, so they have no appeal to me.
Decades ago I didn't live anywhere near a Red Lobster. I would see the commercials for shrimp scampi and think to myself - man, that looks better than anything I've ever made (as a child of Louisiana, I've cooked and eaten a LOT of shrimp) so when I moved to my current location, I went to Red Lobster and ordered shrimp scampi.
I never went back except a couple of times when I wasn't paying. I think I've eaten there 3 total times.

Love to see them go out of business. Never cared for it. The Midwestern diet of potatoes 
and steak is not a meal; it's a way of life. Before anyone starts hollering about vegetables I acknowledge their importance to the meal also. Sitting on the sideline as a garnish. Although I did have a garden salad 
with French dressing last night.
(I gave up nicotine and beer) so I gotta have something to fall back on
