I used to work at Red Lobster all the food is frozen except if you buy a LIVE lobster.Also that amazing sauce she was talking about is Brown Butter sauce( diced garlic,tomatoes,and herbs), you can ask for BB sauce on steaks or anything and it’s the best thing ever!!!Don’t eat the soups,careful with the salads,and definitely order the pizza but add extra crab/lobster if you’re feeling fancy.

[@naomimendoza6361]

Why can’t I eat the soups 😢

[@jonlate4581]

The fresh fish isn't frozen. I don't know if they still have that but it would come in twice a week. 95% of all food in any restaurant is frozen anyway.

[@Iambriangregory]

​@@naomimendoza6361I'm guessing they put the leftover in it or it's just not his taste to eat soups

[@jao62223]

What's the brand of tea they use please?❤

[@upsidedownChad]

Why can't I eat salads and soups? :(

[@shelbeytaylor8145]

i wish my red lobster’s food looked like this 😩

[@youngburgerpatty]

All you have to do is pretend to film and say your from thrillist or something and they make the food with double the lobster and itll probably all be free, because my lobster pizza has NEVER had that much on it and ive had it like 6 times lmao

[@damien1781]

It doesn't???

[@shelbeytaylor8145]

Mykee Wattz looks nothing like the food in this video, portions are way smaller , shrimp is small, lobster tails are small but still big in price 🙄 oh it also looks like they just throw the food on our plates from across the kitchen 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

[@englishatheart]

@@kendraneumann5907 I agreed until you insulted broccoli by implying you can't like it more than potatoes. :-P

[@ms.t8313]

Yes people the key is to tell Red Lobster that you will be doing a video so that they can bring your food out looking like hers because you will never get food or a plate presentation like this at any Red Lobster in your lifetime!

[@signalfire15]

Um, this is the Red Lobster in TIMES SQUARE. I have been several times and I assure you this is actually what it looks like in the video.

[@fmar.8311]

The Cheddar Bay Biscuits is the main reason I go to Red Lobster.

[@lachatnoir1127]

They were sued because there is no cheddar in them.all soy. They are now called red lobster signature biscuits

[@zodiacsoldier]

Yea I work like 3 blocks from this Red Lobster and we're lucky if the portions we get is even half the size of the ones Julia got.

I always get the crab alfredo fettuccini with extra crab, and biscuits. Then I have to eat nothing but salad for the rest of my life .

[@Jojo-bk2pq]

I couldn't eat more than a few bites of that when I got it!

[@miscellaneousish4320]

And when I get the crab fettuccine it only has like one fourth of the amount they put on hers 😭

[@deprofundis3293]

I was so bummed she didn't get the crab alfredo!! It's my favorite!

[@treytison1444]

Crab alfredo used to always be my regular there too.

[@danacoohon6302]

As an ex Red Lobster employee I can tell you that all the the seafood is frozen. All of it. The only thing fresh is the full live lobster that is pulled from the live tank. EDIT: I'm not coming back to this video or comment lmao. Dont waste your time. Also dont get so salty, you're not on the menu 😂✌🏼

[@kayroyal1132]

Dana Coohon I’ve eaten here twice. Never again. First time, I thought maybe it was a bad batch or a fluke. I assumed it was frozen but their crab tasted tinny and metallic. I was sick from the food last time.

[@landerstyle100]

@@kayroyal1132 me too,,,like really ill. No thanks

[@A.McCall]

I mean if you live anywhere in the US other than right on the coast, it has to be frozen. I’m sure it is ‘fresh frozen’ to preserve the seafood. It’s really not a big deal.

[@rollercoaster24]

MrsLovely 30 I also agree with that, but knowing chain restaurants, the quality is Probably shit tier :/

[@TheANM179]

I came to say the same thing lol as an ex red lobster employee only your lobsters from the tank up front are cooked fresh to order. Everything else is absolutely frozen

[@damariusingram6205]

I’ve never been to Red Lobster so I’m living through you.

[@ethelmeadows8984]

Me too

[@damien1781]

Why haven't you???

[@ethelmeadows8984]

I was in a abusive relationship that my finances were tight for over 20 years. So this restaurant was expensive. Now I'm out of it still financially impossible

[@1970joedub]

Probably best you haven’t been there. The kitchens at Red Lobster are an anomaly. Most everything is cooked on conveyor belts or microwaved. :/

[@torib9075]

Girl it’s soooooooo good

[@mpavsweet]

Oh to be one of the people who gets to have all the leftovers LOL

@@MsRaconteur Understandable though, she starts the video with "I was a competitive eater, my parents didn't think I could do this." she even made it sound like she was about to do that, a lot of people who are competitive eaters do try to eat everything at a restaurant, the title and video was misleading regardless :P

Your lobster isn’t cooked live at the restaurant unless you order it from the Fresh Catch menu which is around $30-35. Any other lobster entree is coming from the freezer/fridge.
