On my other trips to Red Lobster many many years ago, the lobster that we got were always extremely small, and one of us got a lobster tail that was... mushy. The meat was like, um, marshmellow consistency? Plus it was small.
Isn't this a great argument of why you shouldn't go to a casual restaurant for something that is so fickle when cooked?Originally posted by: fuzzybabybunny

The most i ever had was 2 lbs of shrimp at some viet hole in the wall seafood restaurant in westminster.
It was about $20, the shrimp was actually quite high quality, typical medium sized, nice firm texture and sweet still, shell/head on but sort of boiled in some cajun sauce.
But 2 lbs makes you sick after about a pound and a half, and it's quite heavy. I'll have to go again sometime, but just get 1 lb.
They also sold per lb cooked crawfish.

this reminds me of the simpson's episode.
with homer and marge who reluctant came along as homer tried to go to several seafood buffets and still didn't have all he could eat.

Totally agreed. I am hardcore anti-Darden Restaurants. Low quality, meager portions, crappy service, high prices.
But the idea of taking advantage of this endless shrimp deal...
Heh. The real way to get them is to order nothing to drink but water. :evil:

what restaurants are part of the Darden restaurants?
If we were to say these shrimp were average size, that would put you at about 14 times the amount of cholesterol you should have daily. The shrimp sound a little smaller than that, but damn.
get ready to puke. i ate there once and it was one of the biggest mistakes i made. i didn't eat much but later puked it all.

That's ok because you're the best seller.
Oh good stuff. I remember one of my friends succinctly describing me to his mom as being "the jerkstore."

I've actually got a lot of experience with this kinda of binge eating, and I feel fine. Never had any digestive problems afterwards either.
The most I've ever eaten was at a restaurant in Cape Cod. I ate so much that I eventually couldn't get the food all the way down my throat. That's when I knew I had to stop. Didn't throw up though. Just kinda passed out in the backseat of the car afterwards
I live on the Cape. Which restaurant??

OH the memories when I lived on the east coast of Florida for work and all of the great food places. IMO FL had some of the best food I have ever had. See food and BBQ places. Oh and some great Chinese Buffets too. there was one I went to you went and got all the fresh stuff from the buffet and brought it over to a guy buy a giant wok who would take what you brought and cook it right up there for you.
And then there was Blackened Dolphin (the fish not the mamal silly) over pasta and 1lb of BBQ Pork, omg Im drooling all over the Keyboard now. OH what a time I had there for work. Got paid $2K a week for back breaking labor but after work I ate out at some of the best places, boozed it up, at the best food of my life, to wake up the next morning ready to do it all over again. And I plan on after my kids are grown and out of the house, to sell my house, buy a motor home, and live down there for the rest of my life. Thoes old people know a great place to go die in when they see it. Provided I live long enough to do that
And as far as hurricanes, thats why you live in a motor home. I did that when was there for work, 5th wheel and a Ford PU. Was in Miami when I Hurrican was forcasted to go through by the keys. Couple days before they did the evacuation my boss and I packed up and went to West Palm to wait it out, then went back. What a great 5 day break that was. My boss, my Brother, and I had a freakin blast in West Palm Jet Ski'n (unlimited retal places), and I dont think I drank and ate so much as I did in thoes 5 days as in my life.

I think I would rather have 10-12 great shrimp rather than 250+ crappy ones. But that's just me.

Gluttony is one of the 7 Deadly SinsOriginally posted by: fuzzybabybunny
I'm feeling pretty good
Not too full by any means, but pretty good.
Here's the receipt (I'm on the top, seat no. 1):
http://fuzzybabybunny.smugmug.com/photos/105639868-O.jpg
The first Scampi and Coconut Shrimp are the first order. 15 scampi and 15 coconut shrimp, so a total of 30 shrimp.
Then 15 other scampi orders, each 10 shrimp each = 150 shrimp
Each mini coconut shrimp order had probably 15 shrimp each, so 2x15 = 30 shrimp
A popcorn shrimp order had 33 tiny shrimp.
The shrimp pasta had about 10 shrimp.
So a total of 253 shrimp (165 scampi shrimp, 45 coconut shrimp, 33 popcorn shrimp, and 10 pasta shrimp)
Aftermath: I can still eat some more. Endless Shrimp is really "eat as much as you can before you get bored and sick," not "eat until you get stuffed" because Red Lobster's food and shrimp quality is pretty low. After two shrimp scampis they became tasteless. The shrimp that they use are not the meaty, high quality ones. They are more of the skinny, floppy-ish kind of shrimp with no real meaty texture. Their popcorn shrimp are only about half an inch long.
Apparently the record is held by two guys who each did * 600 * shrimp each, and afterwards they made a mess of the restaurant puking it all up. Look them 8 hours. Again, with this Endless Shrimp it's not about how much you can eat but instead how long you can go before getting sick or bored.
How many cheese biscuits? Don't tell me you went to red lobster and didn't eat one of their biscuits..?!!!
Good job! :Q
I could only eat 155... http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/Otaking/RedLobster_20061020.jpg
(Sorry for the crappy scan quality, I kept trying to reduce and reduce and reduce until I reduced too much and couldn't go back...)
Edit: I only had 12 re-orders I think.
