Last month, Red Lobster declared bankruptcy.
The reason for this bankruptcy changes based on who you ask. Some people were racist about it, while others said that offering unlimited *anything* is a bad idea in this economy. Even more pointed out that Red Lobster had a major Thai shareholder who was using them to unload unsold shrimp, and that a private equity firm had pulled the hilarious move of making the company sell its land in order to rent it back from them — something that, duh, leads to bankruptcy.
In short, who’s to say why the company went bankrupt?
Regardless, people are really going to miss their shitty seafood chain — which is why some have taken it upon themselves to single-handedly rescue it.

In a recent post to X/Twitter, Flavor Flav of Public Enemy and Flavor of Love fame shows himself standing in front of a table loaded to the brim with Red Lobster menu items. In the text of the post, Flavor Flav shares his desire to do “anything and everything to help” the company and “save the cheddar bay biscuits.”
I mean, the biscuits are pretty goddamn good.
People replying and retweeting the photo supported his mission, with some saying they were headed to Red Lobster to do the same thing.
Doing my part too Flav. pic.twitter.com/a0qefIzPkF

Some artists actually make a difference instead of just tweeting about it https://t.co/miuF8aGIzt

One of my idols since 2004 is @FlavorFlav & of all the cool stuff he’s done since, trying to save Red Lobster is definitely the coolest. I’ll never forget when he said, “to this day, I’m still a Red Lobster freak!” Me too Flav let’s get dinner there https://t.co/CPbUXBFBRB
