So tell me was this a big thing and were people really pigging out on shrimp to this degree so that the place is now going under?
This was the situation in one of the earlier (and very funny) episodes of The Simpsons. Homer is ejected from the Frying Dutchman seafood restaurant because he’s eating them out of business. It winds up with Homer taking Sea Captain to court for faulty advertising.
I wonder if she is friends or related to the oyster-eating pig in the news a few weeks ago?
I think a good idea might have been to discontinue the promotion if it’s putting you out of business.
But that’s just me.

but I see these animals at buffets...just because they can stuff themselves doesn't mean its the right, proper, healthy thing to do....
people own these businesses and expect reasonable behavior....
Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. And dunkenness is considered a form of gluttony!
Eating for 4 1/2 hours is certainly nothing to brag about.

to green light endless shrimp in these times shows an uncanny lack of understanding of basic business.
if they charged $1 for a quarter pound of shrimp, it would’ve covered costs and not put the company at risk.
oh well. that company will fail making way for another, better run, organization.
The sad thing is — She’s probably right.
All these dimwits had to do is offer the deal to only preferred customers, instead of every glutton in America.
- a once a year offer to pastors and their families
- a once a year offer to first responders
- a once a year offer for bronze star to MOH veterans
- a once a year offer to community awardees for doing something other than stuffing the fat asses
endless shrimp and large purses
dun ‘em in
Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That... that’s about it.
They don't have an SEC (Shrimp Eaters Commission) that dictates that they keep the All You Can Eat promotion lights-on. Sheesh. If they were losing money and they kept it up for crazy people who binge-eat shrimp, then Red Lobster deserves to go to Davy Jones' Locker.
Too bad this gluttonous hog didn’t have a an iodine reaction.
“One customer claimed she managed to guzzle down 108 shrimp as part of the deal by staying at the restaurant for four and a half hours.”
It’s sad when people are proud of what they should be ashamed of.
I can get a 2 lb. bag of very good quality, nice-sized frozen, deveined and cooked shrimp for well under $25 at Kroger, and I don’t need an audience while I eat. What is it that drives some people to be in other people’s faces, in public, while they stuff their own faces with junk food just for the hell of it?
“So tell me was this a big thing and were people really pigging out on shrimp to this degree so that the place is now going under?”
Reminds me of Beef Steak Charlies in the 80’s. All the shrimp you can eat and all the beer, wine and sangria you can drink.
Denny’s used to do all you could eat Hot Boiled Shrimp every Wednesday night after 5pm..we would go load up on them nearly every week...Was not uncommon to chow down on 100 of them...Lady one time who was waiting on us said hey we have other stuff on the menu and I spoke up and told her yep you do but I don’t have Hot Boiled Shrimp at home so bring another load to the table...
This person didn't peak in high school; they peaked at Red Lobster.
Also Americans: Eat so much that a restaurant chain has to file bankruptcy.
