Amid news of Red Lobster filing for bankruptcy and closing nearly 100 restaurants, a super fan of the failing seafood restaurant is taking charge. That endless shrimp hero is none other than rapper and reality star Flavor Flav. Ever since news of Red Lobster's financial struggles went public, Flav has been quite vocal in his support of the casual dining staple.
Last month, the musician expressed his desire to "save one of America’s greatest dining dynasties" in a tweet and encouraged the restaurant to reach out to him.
And this week, Flav put his words to action, ordering the entire menu while visiting a Red Lobster restaurant. In a photo posted on X he can be seen standing proudly over a table filled with seafood, sides, and of course, Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
"Ya boy meant it when I said I was gonna do anything and everything to help @redlobster and save the cheddar bay biscuits,,, ordered the whole menu,!!!" Flav wrote in the caption to the photo.
In the comments, a number of people applauded the rapper for his attempts to save the eatery.
"Hey where was my invite to the flavor flav dinner?! YOU ROCK for helping so many people out! We love you!" one person wrote.
"Saving America one shrimp at a time," another user added.
Even Red Lobster chimed in, tweeting, "It's flavor time boyeeeeee!"
There was even one follower who took a page from Flav's book and ordered themselves a margarita flight and a trio of shrimp during a recent visit to Red Lobster.
If anyone can save Red Lobster, it's definitely Flavor Flav.
