Red Lobster: The cheesy biscuit-buns ain't as good as they used to be, but if i'm poor and craving some seafood or they're having all-you-can-eat shrimp, I'll go.

I've only been to Olive Garden once, but man, it was tasty -- and I'm usually picky about Italian places. (Granted, I got Stuff You Really Can't Fuck Up, and the fried ravioli -- I'm pretty much an easy bitch for fried ravioli.)

I have never eaten at Red Lobster, an unfortune I can soon recitfy due to the recent opening of Manhattan's very own branch in Time Square. Hush puppies, anyone?

I don't know about Red Lobster near the coast, but at 250 miles inland, I paid $13 for a plate of soogy fried shrimp and no side vegetable. It was awful food that was expensive. How can you recopmmend that?

Man, I'm all with the drunk typos. I had more vodka than I thought.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:07 (twenty years ago) link

that means i must walk past it every night on my way home from work ... and yet i've never noticed it! that situation must be rectified, of course.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:08 (twenty years ago) link

the new NYC red lobster that is

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:10 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, you must notice it, and keep walking.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:10 (twenty years ago) link

considering some of the shitty food joints in that area (i.e., it's a stone's throw from Tad's Steak House), that Red Lobster is def. one of the better eats there!

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:13 (twenty years ago) link

You might want to save that judgement until after you eat there.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:16 (twenty years ago) link

(It just opened last week. We must christen it.)

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:18 (twenty years ago) link

i've eaten at Tad's Steak House ... whudda mistake ... a dirty kitty-litter box would taste better than that, so that's not a very high hurdle to leap!

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:19 (twenty years ago) link

How do these bad bad restaurants survive with such high rents?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:20 (twenty years ago) link

a lunch-time fap is not out of the question ... (though not the week of august 4th cause i'll be outta town)

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:20 (twenty years ago) link

times square/bryant park = tourist trap. that's how they survive.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:21 (twenty years ago) link

Any chain seafood is COMPLETE ghetto. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm all for embracing the inner ghetto (or outer).

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:23 (twenty years ago) link

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There is if you like food.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:24 (twenty years ago) link

I love how every thread culminates in NYers meeting up somewhere.

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:27 (twenty years ago) link

I know, right? I thought this was where the outcasts and geeks congregated. Now I'm an outcast among outcasts?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:29 (twenty years ago) link

you'll be with the NYC fappers in spirit ... if you want to be, of course

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:31 (twenty years ago) link

Oh like hell he will, he hates Christmas AND chocolate, fuck him. Fuck him in the ear.

I'm so there at a Red Lobster FAP, but I think we should go to the one in Wayne, NJ!

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:32 (twenty years ago) link

Let's go to both!

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:33 (twenty years ago) link

what's so special about the wayne red lobster? wayne is hardly a ghetto, you know!

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:35 (twenty years ago) link

Neither is Times Square if we want to be bitchy about this.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:36 (twenty years ago) link

wasn't trying to be bitchy, i was just curious is all.

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:36 (twenty years ago) link

Oh like hell he will, he hates Christmas AND chocolate, fuck him.

See? Outcast. I am so alone.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:38 (twenty years ago) link

well that settles it ... the times square red lobster fap must coincide with the rockefeller square/ice-skating fap

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:40 (twenty years ago) link

Ok! Then also I will stop in middle of the street in kogirl outfit and take pictures of random buildings and the sky like all tourists do!!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:42 (twenty years ago) link

Tourists take pictures of the sky?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:43 (twenty years ago) link

I've taken a few pictures in NYC myself, but never of the sky.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:44 (twenty years ago) link

I did have a nightmare once that I was in Soho and heading to a bar and the sky turned red and hot and everyone ran into the nearest building to escape from it. That would be worth taking pictures of.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:45 (twenty years ago) link

mmmmmm hush puppies mmmmmmmmm

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:56 (twenty years ago) link

anyway ... there must be a better red lobster than the one where you went, yes kenan? or is all austin seafood that bad?

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 07:59 (twenty years ago) link

Hi, I'm an English visitor to this thread.

(looks around with vacant expression, takes picture of sky, leaves)

Dude, what happened to my post??

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 27 July 2003 08:26 (twenty years ago) link

It's with your car

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 27 July 2003 08:34 (twenty years ago) link

then it is sweating its ass off and probably being pillaged by crackheads.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 27 July 2003 08:41 (twenty years ago) link

I submit my post, I go to bed, I wake up, I look at this thread and I realize that perhaps not everyone is familiar with a certain LL Cool J song.

the times square red lobster fap must coincide with the rockefeller square/ice-skating fap

nooooo, these two activities are diametrically opposed and should never be put in tandem with each other

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:23 (twenty years ago) link

ok, but only cause you said so mary!

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:24 (twenty years ago) link

How are they diametrically opposed though? Anyway we should ice-skate and then have hot chocolate in a Starbucks and then go shop at FAO Schwarz.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 27 July 2003 23:42 (twenty years ago) link

I like Red Lobster. It sure ain't ghetto in State College.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:01 (twenty years ago) link

did bubba sparxx play the state college red lobster? he looks like someone who could eat all of the "all you can eat" shrimp.

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:18 (twenty years ago) link

I hear that Bubba Sparxx stays away from shrimp, for fear of the Forrest Gump-related jokes.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:20 (twenty years ago) link

life is like a box of all-you-can-eat shrimp

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:21 (twenty years ago) link

at first it's tasty and you can't get enough of it...

― oops (Oops), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:23 (twenty years ago) link

...and then you run out of cocktail sauce and your best friend runs off with your girl.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:24 (twenty years ago) link

Red Lobster = summer, Nantucket, ocean shore vibe
Ice skating at Rock Center = winter, bilowy, X-mas vibe

If we combine them we will feel like we are Daryl Hannah in Splash.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 28 July 2003 01:44 (twenty years ago) link

Why wouldn't we want to feel that way, though?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 28 July 2003 01:57 (twenty years ago) link

Except for having to date Tom Hanks, I guess.
