Filing for chapter 11 is essentially just renegotiating your debt that's become unmanageable. The only way the company would have been in "danger" of actually going away is if they filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Saying that, part of the chapter 11 plan would generally be closing unprofitable locations during the process.

The endless shrimp was NOT the reason they started having problems. Predatory investors came in, bought the company, and then sold the land the buildings were on so that all the locations were renting instead of owning. I'm simplifying a bit, but that's the gist of it. Look for the video, "Bankrupt - Red Lobster" by Bright Sun Films for a better description.

@@afriend5994 as long as Chapter 11 is successful, it’s generally less dangerous. But a company that files for chapter 11 can still be in a lot of trouble, and might need to file Chapter 7 if they can’t agree on a way out of it.

@EJetson22

Because his criticism is based on expectations. When you go to a fine dining restaurant, you expect everything to be terrific. When you go to Red Lobster, you expect to get decent quality seafood and if you order a steak, you expect just what Guga said. It tastes like a steak cooked by a seafood restaurant. Red Lobster is decent quality seafood at a reasonable price. If you live in the middle of the country, 1000 miles from any ocean, Red Lobster is a great place to get your seafood fix.

Guga my friend, I have worked at red lobster for a decade all the way up to management and I will say your review is quite accurate The biscuits are great but a few things to try next time. We have a pina colada sauce (for the coco shrimp) that’s great to dip in or even the fan favorite honey 😮 The sweet chili sauce on the dragon shrimp has been around forever, they just keep using the sauce for different entrees and appetizers but the actual sauce is killer! The lobster dip is also really good, is in the kitchen like to mix the pico inside the dip also for a little acid boost! Clam chowder is a classic and the lobster bisque is also making a come back! We recently switched steak dealers and I do agree, the quality has tanks from the feedback I get from tables. I will suggest forming over the extra money for a NY strip or a filet if you go the steak route! Lobster topped baked potato is good but try it on the mashed potatoes next time, easier to manage the lobster bur Blanc! The brussel sprouts are actually deep fried to get crispy and topped with a soy ginger glaze, another fan favorite!! I’m glad it was a pleasurable visit for you, and as of now there company has been bought out by an investment company who are already taking steps to expand the brand!

It was one steak. I’ve actually had a phenomenal NY Strip at Red Lobster. You had a sirloin. That’s your fault. So that place got it medium plus. They usually have good steak. But I love Red Lobster so happy to see you do too.

Good to know that you remember your roots and that Red Lobster was a part of it. In spite of being a well respected food critic and steak maestro you give props where they are due. I remember Red Lobster as being a rare treat when I was younger and BTW, I never ordered the steak, too much seafood to even risk it!

I agree with you Guga, too many good childhood memories here! I took my roomate (who is from Argentina) to Red Lobster for the first time. He fell in love instantly and thought it was crazy that they had filed for Chapter 11. The food was so good and the service was top notch! We are thrilled that they exited Chapter 11. 👏🏻

I used to work at a Red Lobster when I was 19, in Ottawa, Canada. The pasta was always precooked and portioned in baggies, it was reheated with the sauce ( lobster or crab) in the microwave.

The steaks being cooked properly will always depend on the person cooking them. I worked at RL once upon a time ago and with certain cooks would I order the steak when I would eat on break there. I will add a tip for the shrimp alfredo, if you like blackening season, get half blackend alfredo and half regular alfredo for the large portion of that dish and it adds a good balance.

Mister Guga, the more I watch your vids, the more I appreciate them - I like your humour, I really like your honesty and I just know by watching, I would luuuuuv your steaks. I watched another of your vids earlier today of you having Pasta in Italy & it made my mouth water so much (I was in for the day & all I had was a can of Chef-boy-R-dee (however its spelt) spaghetti & meatballs)) and I was so hungry, I just had to cook it up.....actually, probably sacrilege for Chefs like yourself....I nuked it up, but I got such an appetite from your vid, it tasted 5 stars baby and it was straight out of a can !!! I better stop watching your vids or I'm gonna double my weight in a month. Sorry to hear Red Lobsters going Chapter 11, I wasn't aware of that. Anyway, keep on, keeping on with the vids - you make Food Fun my bro !!! 👍👍👍.

They should do a promotion for endless shrimp going away. One final endless shrimp competition / all you can eat shrimp off. The top 1000 customers across the US get 3 endless shrimp meals. If they could find a way to gamify it, it could become something that is a novelty, and nostalgic, rather than a regular thing. You gotta hustle for that endless experience.

Hey Guga! I know the chances of you seeing this are low but if you do I have a suggestion for an experiment that you could do. See I have a balsamic chicken recipe that I love to make, basically it’s chicken (I always use breast cause it retains the flavor the best out of any cut) marinated in balsamic vinaigrette (salad dressing) and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar per chicken breast for 24 hours then is boiled in the mixture and seared in a pan or on a grill. And while it’s delicious my problem with it is that it doesn’t matter how many different ways I try to tenderize the chicken it always comes out tough, and not very juicy. I’d like to know what could be done to make the chicken more tender without effecting the flavor of the balsamic too much and I’d love to see an experiment video about it!
@darrencarter9812
@darrencarter9812 Ай бұрын
Your problem is that vinegar denatures proteins. That changes the texture of the chicken. With breasts having a low fat content, they get rubbery. The acid in the vinegar is effectively cooking the chicken and it end up rubbery like it was microwaved. There really isn’t a work-around. I would recommend grilling the chicken, and serving it with a balsamic reduction as a sauce. Alternatively, figure out exactly what flavor you like in the marinade, and season yoghurt or buttermilk to use as a marinade. Then serve it grilled with the balsamic reduction sauce. Good luck!
@DuskShadow235
@DuskShadow235 Ай бұрын
@ I find that I (and a lot of people I’ve shared this recipe with) really enjoy the kinda acidic-sweet flavor in the vinaigrette, so if you know of something that won’t take away from that I’d love to know so I can try it

@darrencarter9812 Ай бұрын
@@DuskShadow235 try what suggested with the buttermilk and add ginger powder and fenugreek. Then finish the chicken with the vinaigrette reduction… raspberries would be a nice addition to the reduction, but either way… it won’t be exactly the same but you’ll still add a sweet and sour component with ginger and fenugreek, and the buttermilk marinade will kick it up a notch.
