Red Lobster and Olive Garden used to be owned by the same corporation, Darden Restaurants. Here, they are both practically next door to each other ............

I guess selling crawdads as lobster didn’t go over as well as they thought it would.

The last time we went into one, about five years ago, they seated us in the worst possible seating in a nearly empty restaurant, so we just got up and left.That's common in restaurants that care more about the 'feelings' of their wait staff than of their customers comfort. When there aren't enough customers they should just rotate the staff - not the customers.

As one who has steak several times a week, it is now more economical for me to get choice cuts at a butcher shop and cook them at home. Once you master cooking a quality steak at home in cast iron, you will never want to have another overpriced steak at Applebees or Chili's again! I occaisionally have to spend time in Denver. 20 years ago I had to get dinner and went across the street to Applebees (other places were a considerable walk): the worst steak I have ever been served.
Last summer I was back and close to a Ruth's Chris: that too was a disappointment, but not as bad. (barely pink for a medium rare)
At home, I rarely eat out. As you said, a descent steak in cast iron is the way to go. I cook substantially better than most local places. Having spent much time in good restaurants in both France and Italy, I guess I'm difficult to impress.
To: Red Badger
The combination of the China Virus lockdowns that changed eating-out behaviors and now rampant inflation and completely unreliable employees (even if you can find them) are going to destroy a number of restaurants.
The lockdowns killed my top two favorite Mexican food restaurants here in Phoenix.

We have more Mexican and Thai restaurants here than you can imagine.
I never see a ‘crowd’ at any of them.
I think they are laundering money.................

They’re a 70’s holdover. Long overdue for extinction. They need a makeover. Close all the restaurants. Open new ones but turn them in a fast casual concept. Specialize in cheddar bay biscuits, shrimp and long Island ice tea.

“In fact, Julia Child’s spy career generated her first big recipe, a shark repellent designed to coat both explosives and pilots’ lifejackets.”
Really, what timing. Too many lawyers, esp. prosecuting attorneys attracted like crack addicts to the blood of the innocent while the real criminals are set loose (professional courtesy)...
I merely made a “crack” about poor red lobster, yet
This past week, somebody mentioned this exact story to me, and beats me what the context was that spawned the topic. Seemed kind of random at the time.
“Did you know that Julia Child was a spy... her first recipe was for shark repellent, developed for...”
🤔
(BTW, thanks for the link!)
“Jaws” first victim just died too, but that was after the JC spy topic had come up.

So many of them are terrible.
When I moved back here in 2016, once a month I’d go with a friend to try a different one. I was going to write a guide, “2000 Enchiladas.” After 7, we quit, because none of the 7 were any good and we felt like, “Why eat crap when we can get good Mexican food at Los Dos Molinos?”
