which brings their collective wealth to $1 billion.

Hmmm. I guess "White Privilege" ain't all it's cracked up to be.

1. Red Lobster didnt do anything.
2. If you suddenly got alot of business , its not wrong riding the wave.

Its not like RL asked her or paid her to be in there. Ill go to a Red Lobster anytime and they arent that bad.

Same here.

Their commercials make them look great, but I always remind the husband that we don’t know which Third World cesspool was used to farm their seafood.

And just a side note for everyone....Red Lobster buys 40% of ALL B rate seafood. THe stuff that doesnt make the 5 Star resturants. THeres nothing wrong with that and they single handedly are a huge purchaser that keep the seafood industry going.

All their seafood comes thru Seattle from Alaska. I actually recieved a lesson on their purchases. Their Alaskan anything is from Alaska and within a day and a half fresh.

Im watching people with knee jerk reactions getting a tizzy over a company that didnt do anything wrong. So yes, it is relevant.

An old ribald red snapper joke comes to mind when seeing the headline of this thread.

RL recently separated from the Darden restaurant chain that includes Olive Garden. Now they are independent and I notice their food is better.

If all the stereotype stories I’ve read are true then RL’s serving staff is now working double-time for 1/10 the tips from their “normal” customer base.

I am expecting a reference to Beyonsay’s Cuttlefish any time now.

I’d go to a Red Lobster if there a family gathering....but everything they make seems to swim in butter, overly priced, and I may be the only one in America but I do not like those cheese biscuits or whatever they are...
