I've wondered about this for over 40 years.

I ain’t gonna lie…Red Lobster stays open because of cultcha. Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden too. Something about those places appeals to the culchered.

Aren’t the biscuit complementary with meal?

The OT theory is they remain open on something they offer with the meal?




You ever heard the term "loss leader"?

I'm not sure what point you're attempting to make, but I will only say this.

I haven't had RL in years, but I remember their fried fish tasting almost exactly like LJS's. However, LJS is more affordable. RL is extremely overpriced for some decent cheddar biscuits. I would think RL would fail before LJS goes away.

Was that way in Beaumont until the focus shifted to Pappadeauxs. Now the Red Lobster has closed.

I’ve spent 3 yrs in Billings, Montana and it was the only seafood option I had. They weren’t that bad.

Had a laborer tell me once after I hooked him up with a cheap ride; he said I’m gonna take you to red lobster.

culcha and trashiness, only time I’ve ever gone to RL is at the insistence of my black friends, and I’ve put a stop to that, anyone that enjoys that are on the same taste level as those that enjoy Chinese buffets

I don't consider catfish to be seafood. Who goes to a seafood restaurant and orders catfish?
