Red Lobster is fine as long as you actually order actual full, whole lobster or crab legs. It’s pretty hard to screw up lobster (or crab legs) - drop them in a pot of boiling water and serve and with butter and lemon. RL does that fine.
The prepared dishes are the problem. They do suck.
What...all they have to do is microwave them.
I love Red Lobster. You seem to know what it takes to make food good but I’m not sure what you mean by their “prepared” dishes. What should I not order the next time I’m there?
