Tonight I’m in Sacramento Ca. and meeting a couple of guys that are working on a project here in town. I decide it would be nice to treat them to dinner and get a project update prior to my meetings starting tomorrow morning. They give me the choice and I choose a place that always has good food for a decent price. I’m salivating on the drive to Outback, thinking of the seared Ahi Appetizer and a cold beer when I get the call.
Hey, instead of the Outback, why don’t you meet us next door at the Red Lobster? It felt like that scene from Happy Gilmore, “hey shooter……I’ll be at the Red Lobster….”
I reluctantly agree and figure there has got to be something on the menu that can cure my desire for Ahi. WRONG!!!! If your thinking what I was thinking your wrong too. This is not a seafood restaurant!!!!! This place is the McDonald's of the seafood restaurants or even worse, White Castle.
Yes, I have been to Red Lobster before but I bet the last time was over ten years ago. I am now reminded that there was a reason for this. Nothing has changed. Everything on the menu is the same over priced crap that’s been there all along. We had the mix and match appetizer (always a fan of this option) that consisted of calamari with vegetables and crab stuffed mushrooms. I have to give it to them; the mushrooms were not that bad. The calamari was tough and oily and the so called vegetables consisted of broccoli flowerets that had been dusted with flower and seasoning and fried. What’s the logic there? Find the healthiest veggie on the planet and equip it to kill you.
I don’t have the patients to go into great detail about dinner. Everything that came to the table looked and smelled salty and oily. I tried to go the healthy route and bypass all of the fried stuff but to no avail, it still sucked. I ate about four bites and I only did that to try not to offend my dinner guests.
Tomorrow night, something Better!! I wonder if there’s a good Sushi place in town???????

Donna's step father Durwood likes Red Lobster for some reason. Lots of "food", low price. The last time we ate there was before we moved to Idaho so prior to 1977!
