(66,587 posts)But we're not too proud to enjoy a casual dinner at places like Red Lobster (because she loves the lobster!), or even the DU-reviled Olive Garden.
We're both knowledgeable enough to know where to go when we want high-quality seafood or Italian food.
But sometimes, we just want a comfort meal at RL or OG.
Anyway, Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay biscuits are heavenly, and I'm not ashamed to say so.
But you'd think these places would remember the disasters previous 'all-you-can-eat' offers turned into. This is what happens when a restaurant chain is operated by a private equity firm instead of by people who understand the restaurant business. Incompetent, do-nothing executives coming up with cockamamie increase-profits schemes to justify their ridiculously high salaries.
