Red Lobster is so fucking bad dude

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 61 points 5 months ago (7 children)

I see what you're saying, but I would like to counter it with CHEDDAR BISCUITS.

[–] lookorex@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They sell the mix for those in grocery stores. Just make your own at home

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 23 points 5 months ago

Not even the mix. It's so expensive for what it is.

flour, shortening, salt, sugar and baking powder. Add cheese to he mix, bake. Then literally soak them in garlic butter when they are done. Whole thing takes maybe 30 minutes.

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I bought the mix and made waffles with it... Life altering. 🤯

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Easy to find the recipe online

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I absolutely will.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Biscuit boxes have a cheesy biscuit recipe on them that's really good. I add garlic.

But have you ever been to like an actual seafood place? I understand if that's your only option, but there are places near me that are so much better, especially since red lobster has gotten worse and more expensive

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Oh I have. Trust me. I've had some amazing sea food.

Of course Red Lobster not the best there is, but it's not bad. At least the one in Ottawa, the closest one to me, is fine.

[–] dream_weasel@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 5 months ago

I have been to some nice places for seafood, but in my city there's only red lobster if you need a crab fix. It does the job, but it's getting pricey for what you get.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There's an excellent fiction novel about the closing night of a Red Lobster that's really great though (Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan) which I'm glad it inspired at least.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I thought you said science fiction for a moment, and I was intrigued. “Last Night at the Lobster” sounds a lot more sinister with that in mind.

"The year is 2374. The Casual Dining War is coming to a rapid close as The Fifteenth Applebee's Space Brigade approaches the last combination Red Lobster/Olive Garden in existence. This is the story of the brave servers who fought that battle."

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yes haha. But it's a great book!

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand how it occured but Red Lobster is the prime spot for mixed race couples to celebrate adult birthdays with lots of alcohol. Otherwise its for nobody somehow.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

That is so weirdly specific. Glad they found their niche.

[–] dream_weasel@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is red lobster run by sovcits? Was the article written by sovcits? Where are the sovcits, Mr Bones?!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Sovcits are for Insane People Facebook.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's paywalled for me. How does that archive site work again?

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Archive.ph/url

Basically just add archive.ph in front of the address of the paywalled article

[–] Ultragigagigantic@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Thanks for teaching us how to fish for lobster
