Flavor Flav makes last-ditch attempt to save Red Lobster after seafood chain files for bankruptcy
Flavor Flav is determined to keep Red Lobster afloat – buying every dish on the menu to help the struggling seafood chain.
The Public Enemy rapper – self-proclaimed as the chain’s No 1 fan – is also set to talk to Red Lobster this week about a potential collaboration.
The 65-year-old followed through on his recent promise to support the chain after it shut 99 restaurants in a bid to cut costs and save it from going bust.
He posted a photo on X from inside one of the still-open restaurants – with all the menu items he ordered in front of him.
He tweeted: ‘Meant it when I said I was gonna do anything and everything to help Red Lobser and save the cheddar bay bisuicts. Ordered the whole menu!’
TMZ reports that he and his daughter ate nearly the entire spread – taking home just two boxes.
Flavor Flav tweeted: ‘Ordered the whole menu!’
While him buying the entire menu – or even doing a tie-up – will unlikely save the chain, it might help provide some free publicity for Red Lobster.
Red Lobster officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 19, blaming rising lease and labor costs in recent years and also promotions like its infamous all-you-can-eat shrimp deal that backfired.
Prior to the bankruptcy filing restaurant liquidator TAGeX Brands auctioned off the equipment of 48 closed Red Lobster locations.
Red Lobster´s roots date back to 1968, when the first restaurant opened in Lakeland, Florida.
The chain expanded rapidly since then and runs more than 700 locations worldwide.
However, it’s bankruptcy follows the disastrous $20 ‘endless shrimp’ promotion.
The offer launched last June as a permanent fixture on the menu -after previously running as a short term deal once a year.
