| Maine lobster and jumbo shrimp platter |
As we reported last year, Red Lobster is a guilty pleasure for a lot of diners. It's considered a lowbrow casual dining chain because of the price point and the ambiance. I mean, The Bristol is isn't. But at the risk of starting a food riot here, I prefer the light, savory biscuits at Red Lobster to those heavy, sugary, crumbly drops of cement passing themselves off as "biscuits" at The Bristol (I ate one two days ago and they're as dreadful as ever).
Although it might offend beloved Fat City commenter and local blogger Meesha's sensibilities (he was concerned that an intervention might be in order -- and he may be right!), I confess a fondness for the annual "Lobsterfest" promotion created by the Florida-based chain owned by Darden Restaurants, Inc. which also operates the very highbrow Capital Grille steakhouses.
Lobsterfest continues at the area Red Lobster locations through April 19, and if you don't mind waiting for a table there are some good deals, including the $19.99 grilled Maine lobster and jumbo shrimp dinner that includes a potato, a salad (I don't recommend the Caesar, which had enough dressing for three salads) and those terrific biscuits.The roasted rock lobster tail, steamed crab legs and garlic shrimp scampi dinner is currently priced at $22.99.

Thank you, Charles. My back-up plan was to see if he too would fall in love with the biscuits and be able to make an entire meal out of them. But, you never know, there might be fish in there too (like on The Simpsons).
Caroline: Write to me at charles.ferruzza@pitch.com and for your birthday, I'll bring you some carry-out biscuits.
I only tried it once,mainly because of my hate for lines and waiting. Same reason I never made it to Stroud's and other long wait places. It's all explained here.http://www.kcmeesha.com/2010/0...
