Sea food smells like pussy. So I'm going with Red Lobster Wings

Well I've now worked for Red Lobster for 25 yrs.
Managed for 15 and no matter how sick I am of looking at Lobster and Shrimp..not to mention the Biscuits I'd choose Red Lobster.

Red Lobster and OG were sister companies til two yrs ago and I've been in both kitchens many times.

There is no comparison in quality or freshness.
Olive Gardens is the fast food version of true Italian.
I married into the Mob.
My wife takes two days to make her homemade sauce not 15 minutes.


Through the yrs I've grumbled about internal changes and how we/Red Lobster get more and more pre frozen
products in but for the most part everything is still fresh and made in house.

The Biscuits that everyone drools over can be easily made at home.
I've never tried the Red Lobster box you can now purchase but I'm sure its close.
For the most part its simply Bisquick add cheddar cheese cook in a convection oven.
Now the thing thats not so easy to replicate is the garlic butter.
We use a liquid butter and our own version of garlic powder that you cant just purchase in a store.

I fully understand the Prices are Out of control!
I'm still shocked that we have regulars that are in 2 or 3 times a week.
If your going to leave with your bellies full a family of four with tip can easily hit the $150.00 mark.

Kill me. They both suck.

I guess BigDaddy done died. RIP

The boxed RL biscuits do NOT taste like actual RL biscuits

Are you really asking if I prefer cow shit or horse shit? Seriously?

I honestly can't recall having been to either. Not out of some snobbery, the opportunity just never came up, I guess. I will say that RL does a better job of advertising. The way that water flings off the crab leg when cracked does look fresh and appealing. And the way they plunge it into what looks like melted butter, splashing all about, really sends it home.

They're both fine.

Heh I knew damn well after your reaction to the mountains that the PA city life would be in the rear view mirror and you would be moving. Hope you survived the Red Slopster!

Olive Garden is much better than it used to be. Red Lobster pissed me off because it took the crab & lobster fondue off the menu. But they still do a solid job on seafood (I like the crab alfredo).

However, the best part of Red Lobster is the biscuits. Now, here's a secret: they sell the biscuit mix in supermarkets. And my wife, who is by NO MEANS a cook, makes them. And she puts in a shitload more cheese than they say. And they come out ****ing awesome. Like, "ten times better than Red Lobster, she makes a dozen and we eat six each for dinner" awesome. Seriously, try them. They even give you the little dry pack of topping and you just nuke some butter in the microwave, stir in the powder, and brush the tops of the biscuits when they're done. Easy peasy.

Could open a can of Chef Boyardee raviolis and say it's from the Olive Garden and make a candle lit dinner at home.

Olive Garden. It's better to eat poorly prepared Italian than poorly prepared seafood. This is a ridiculously easy and obvious question. If you're going to waste your money, waste it on pasta as it's a lot cheaper and can't be ****ed up nearly as bad.

Red Lobster.

You can't even get sausage and peppers at Olive Garden any more.
Italian restaurant failure complete.

do you guys get my right n vote for waffle hos okay

tits better then booth of them two put tugether not event an contrast ether

This right here. Tour of Italy from Olive Garden. Every red lobster I've been to sucks and I'm a seafood lover being from the gulf coast. Too many good locally owned seafood joints to go to here.
