![]() ![]() She’s been a vegetarian ever since.įrankly, I’m terrified of lobsters. Then she instructed her to, “Now, say bye-bye. He’s going to boil!” Like many lobsters before him, he suffered a Game of Thrones fate and arrived at the table looking the same, except redder. What actually happened horrifies her to this day: The server made her choose a lobster from the tank and give it a name. She had always wanted to try eating a lobster. As a high schooler, she once chose to dine here for her birthday. My first & last endless shrimp experience.Īnd finally, when I think of Red Lobster, I think of my friend Chelsea. I got full 1/2 way into my first plate of shrimp, nullifying the whole promotion. Ordering Endless Shrimp, however, was most certainly not fine. I didn’t return to Red Lobster until Jake and I lived in Fargo. I wanted what I couldn’t have, so I begged and pleaded to go and they finally took me. Growing up, my parents stuck to a rotation of three dine-in restaurants for special occasions, none of which included Red Lobster because my mom didn’t like it. ![]() Believe it or not, a Red Lobster actually went out of business here! In Mason City there is no Red Lobster in sight and so it doesn’t sound too bad. It’s true that we all want what we can’t have. At $2.24, plus 1/2 cup of cheese and 1/3 cup of butter, I proceeded in the spirit of “What the heck?” The Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix called my name during my last Target trip. This time I grabbed a less expensive product that made no claims to be “premium” quality. Unfortunately, I found the Duff Goldman Purple Rain cake and insanely expensive Crumbs Bake Shoppe C olossal Cupcake mixes to be lacking. Do they taste like the boxes claim and are they worth their price tags? I stand in the baking aisle and try to make sense of their antics: Tie-dyed cake patterns, Auntie Annie pretzel kits, and $7 Milk Bar cookies. They draw me in with their colorful packaging and wildly varied price ranges. The world of strange, kooky boxed baking mixes intrigues me. ![]()
