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.
