Holy crap, what a bunch of elitist prickery. It reminds me of the time I bemoaned the fact that there are no Red Lobster in Vancouver and got my head ripped off for it. "OMG VANCOUVER HAS GREAT SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS!" Yes, and I go to many of them. Still doesn't satisfy my specific wish for Red Lobster. :(

They... do realize that just because a city has excellent local restaurants doesn't mean it can't have chain restaurants as well, and vice versa... right? And that people can like and enjoy both? I mean, I'm the type that has lunch at little locally owned places then washes it down with a McDonald's shake... am I doing it wrong?

	Yes. Don't you know that as soon as the number of restaurants in a chain hits ten, everyone inside must immediately run out and find a new favorite place to eat? No exceptions! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	bzuh there are no Red Lobsters in Vancouver? Advertising you have been misleading me! /never eats out because it's too expensive or requires a transfer (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know, right? They have all these Red Lobster advertisements on Vancouver television but none in town; the closest one is in Calgary or something. -_- (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Same here in New England! We used to have them, then they all closed down (many became BBQ restaurants that then closed down). Sometimes, you just want CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS!! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I see ads for Sonic drive-ins all the time, but I'd have to go to Hayward at least to get to one (I live in San Francisco), more than 25 miles. I don't drive in the first place, and when I am going on a car trip, that is rarely the direction I go in. (And going the way I normally do? Well, there's one in Gilroy, but that's a little out of the way considering our usual route.)

	They advertize in Alaska, too, and there's no Red Lobster. Which I don't care about, because we do have Sea Galley, which is much, much better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	DO NOT SPEAK OF THE BISCUITS, DOWN THAT ROAD LIES MADNESS AND WEIGHT GAIN ...biscuits T____T (Reply to this)(Parent)

	usagivindaloo 2010-03-31 07:17 am UTC (link)
	YES. YOU UNDERSTAND. Seriously, the biscuits alone are worth my hard earned money. How can people hate a restaurant that grants us such mana from heaven? :3 (Reply to this)(Parent)

	cinnamonical 2010-03-31 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	OMG. THERE ARE OTHERS BESIDES ME WHO WORSHIP THE CHEESY BISCUITS. I DON'T GET TO EAT THEM OFTEN ENOUGH BECAUSE I'M MEH ON RED LOBSTER'S SEAFOOD ENTREES. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	lady_ganesh 2010-03-31 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	I CAN STILL TASTE THOSE. There's no close Red Lobster any more, so if we go somewhere with a Red Lobster we're 96% of the time going to go somewhere with food I like beyond THE CHEESY BISCUITS. But ooooh they are good. (Reply to this)(Parent)

THE BISCUITS ARE REALLY EASY

Simpleness:
Take some Bisquick
Add enough water to make it a bit sticky and hold the flour together
Throw in a ton of shredded cheddar cheese
Add a little garlic salt/powder
Toss those biscuits down on a pan

Melt butter
Add italian seasoning
Add garlic salt/powder
Spread that over the uncooked biscuits

Throw them in the oven at 400 degrees F

You can find more specific directions online, but that's basically it!

	I have that recipe, but replace the water with milk. (And never, never, for the love of Batman, use the Reduced-Fat Bisquick unless you want something to play wall-ball with.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I have never been to Red Lobster, but the comment hymns and the fact that I like cheese and biscuits have convinced me to try this. Possibly tonight. Thank you! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	ekaterinv 2010-03-31 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! I would love Red Lobster's cheesy biscuits, but they are too salty for me, so now I can make my own without so much salt. Yay! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	tangentialone 2010-04-01 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Ooooooo! Thank you! I tried making them myself once (from scratch though; we didn't have any bisquick so I figured ehhh) and athough decent, they weren't magic. What "italian seasoning" do you use, by the way? Is it a specific mix, or what? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I once said that, of all chain restaurants, I didn't know why the chain-restaurants-suck crowd always used Red Lobster as the example of the worst. You would have thought I had just showered Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin with flowers and unicorn love. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	komorebi 2010-03-31 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	I always assumed it had to do with the hard-right-wing association of the franchise. (Reply to this)(Parent)
