Red Lobster is going through changes to help the company bounce back after they filed for bankruptcy protection. Red Lobster is rolling out new menu changes to excite seafood lovers.  

The Restaurant Chain CEO Revealed The Changes

Damola Adamolekun, the restaurant chain’s new 35-year-old CEO, revealed the changes, which include seven new items.

It includes reintroducing the chain’s beloved hush puppies, which have been missing from its menu recently after social media backlash when they took them off.

Hush puppies may be back on the menu, but another longtime item has vanished: the chain’s famous Ultimate Endless Shrimp promotion. The reason is simple: if you do the math. It was a great promotion, but it was not a money-maker by any means.

Vamping Up The New Menu

Although the menu is 20% smaller, it features seven new items, including bacon-wrapped sea scallops, a lobster bisque, and some new pasta dishes. There is also a rumor that the endless shrimp may be gone, but popcorn shrimp may make a comeback.

Personally, I missed the Hush Puppies a lot to the point that I made my own after some knock-off recipes on social media.

Introducing The New Menu Items

Lobster Pappardelle

Roasted Asparagus

Pasta Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops

Prepared Mahi

Lemon Basil Mahi

Lobster Bisque

Endless Shrimp Is Gone, But What About Lobsterfest?

The Red Lobster Famous “Lobsterfest” will still happen, which is great news.

 Lobsterfest is still going on, and diners can expect it to be an even more significant event.

“This year they say its going to be bigger and better than ever. You know what they are calling it? The GLOAT: the greatest lobster fest of all time,” he said.

So grab a big adult bib and heat lots of butter cuz it’s on!

  • The McDLT

    The McDLT was a sandwich that was available at McDonald’s from 1984 to 1991. The sandwich consisted of a hamburger with lettuce and tomato on one side of the bun, and a hot dog with ketchup and mustard on the other side of the bun. The idea behind the sandwich was that you could eat the hot side hot and the cool side cool. Unfortunately, the sandwich was discontinued due to complaints about the styrofoam packaging that it came in.

  • The Enormous Omelette Sandwich at BK

    The Enormous Omelette Sandwich was available at Burger King from 1989 to 1991. The sandwich consisted of three eggs, ham, bacon, American cheese, and mayonnaise on a sesame seed bun. The sandwich was discontinued due to poor sales.

  • The BK Broiler

    The BK Broiler was available at Burger King from 1990 to 2001. The sandwich consisted of a chicken breast fillet that had been marinated in a special sauce and then grilled. It came with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and cheese on a sesame seed bun. The sandwich was discontinued due to poor sales.

  • The Arch Deluxe

    The Arch Deluxe was a burger that was available at McDonald’s from 1996 to 2000. The burger consisted of a quarter-pound beef patty, bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and secret sauce on a sesame seed bun. The burger was discontinued due to poor sales.

  • KFC Double Down

    The double down from KFC was a fan favorite when it was first introduced, and people were devastated when it was taken off the menu. The sandwich consists of two pieces of fried chicken with bacon, cheese, and sauce in between. It’s hearty, filling, and absolutely delicious. We can only hope that KFC will bring it back someday soon.

  • Cini-Minis from BK

    The Cini-Minis were cinnamon rolls that were available at Burger King from 1989 to 2016. The rolls were served warm and came with a vanilla icing dipping sauce. They were discontinued due to poor sales but have since been brought back as a limited-time offer.

  • Big N' Tasty from McDonalds

    The Big N’ Tasty was a burger that was available at McDonald’s from 2001 to 2006. The burger consisted of a quarter-pound beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise on a sesame seed bun. It was discontinued due to poor sales.
