Birmingham .... inland cities without easy access to fresh seafood
Do you include Atlanta, Dallas and Nashville here?
Birmingham is only 250 miles, straight interstate, from Mobile. Getting fresh seafood there might be easier than getting it to Lafayette even.
The reasons for Red Lobster declining are probably more complex than the "disgusting food" premise. It's a tired old concept. Restaurants age and go out of style.

Restaurants like that are successful because they are safe and have options for families who want go out and eat and not traumatize their kids or grandparents. I mean, I'm sure the French Laundry is great and all, but I don't know how many 11 year olds say "can we go to that place that has the ragout of celery root, glazed chestnuts and golden chanterelle mushrooms? Please!!"
Because clearly, your only options for food are:
A. A globally recognized restaurant
or
B. Red Lobster
Nothing in between.

Will this eventually make the act of dining out an elitist cult for foodies?
