Serious question, at some point wasn't BR a city that was a "test city" for chain restaurants? I don't know why or the details behind it, but at one point I thought BR was a city where chains were able to monitor how well their restaurant would do or give an idea of where else they were likely to do well or not do well.

If so, is that still the case? Are these chain places or locals?

I know black folk love the shite out of some crab legs. If you need a front you just open up a vape shop... Seriously, I live in a smaller town and several years ago it was like they just one day all popped up. Its all Arabs.. What kind of people own these crab places?

Im convinced the Arabs are planning something against us and they are moving shite with their vape shows being the front for their activity.

Do you want us to recall the dates each restaurant opened?

Who is eating here

Go to one at 8 pm on Friday and find out.

Because they like to post pictures on social media to show off.

Guess again.

AI Overview
Joe's Crab Shack sources its crabs from various locations, including the Florida Keys:
Stone crabs: Caught in the Florida Keys
Wild-caught crab meat: From the tropical waters of Southeast Asia

frick those prices. The only time I eat crabs is if someone I know comes across someone... usually some dude who went crabbing and came back to sell them. We might split them and have a crab boil along with a fish fry because you can't fill up on just crabs. But $15/lb?

And crawfish $10/lbs :lol:

A sack of live crawfish, on the low end is about what? 30 lbs? They boil a sack, sell $9.99/lbs Thats $299 on a sack. I saw a place in the Spring that had them for $6.99 boiled and I thought that was highway robbery. And you have to be careful with those places because if they have left over boiled crawfish they didn't sell one day, they will leave them in the pot then the next day use them to help make weight the next day.

If you get some and there are several that are really soft that's leftovers from the day before. I don't frick with seafood from just anywhere.

No lie, a TON of vape shops popped up, way more than seem like there would be a market for.


Either insane markups or way more people vape than I reckon.

Or something else I'm not seeing

I did some marketing and advertising for a seafood restaurant in Destin

While building the website and all of that I was able to talk to customers (who were mostly tourists) and I could not believe how many of their customers complained that their crab legs were not fresh from the Gulf of Mexico lol

Probably mud crabs raised on sewage in central Chinese monoculture.

Snow crab and dungeoness are great if you can find them on sale for under $10 a lb. That's the only time I get them.


Same. They were about $7 a lb for weeks running at the end of the summer. Last winter the local grocery had South American king crab for about $9 a lb. Those were ridiculous.

I think Red Lobster died from a certain culture that would order endless shrimps and feed their family from a single plate,then leave without tipping.

But your theory sounds plausible enough.
