Flavor Flav orders entire Red Lobster menu to save 'one of America's greatest dining dynasties'
View Date:2024-12-23 21:39:08
Red Lobster isn't going under if Flavor Flav has anything to say about it.
The Public Enemy rapper, 65, revealed on X that he recently went to a Red Lobster location and ordered every item on the menu to help out the restaurant chain, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month.
"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,!!!" he posted, sharing a photo of himself standing in front of a crowded table with every menu item on it.
He was following through on his earlier promise after saying in May he wanted to use his platform to "help save one of America's greatest dining dynasties," adding that Red Lobster should "call" him.

The official Red Lobster account reacted to this offer at the time by telling Flavor Flav to check his direct messages. "YOOOOOOO,!!! It’s all happening,!!!!!" he responded.
In a statement last month, Red Lobster said that even though it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, that doesn't mean it's going out of business, explaining this is a "legal process that allows us to make changes to our business and our cost structure." The company has, however, closed dozens of U.S. locations.

"The truth is, some of the world's most beloved brands like Delta and Hertz have used this same process to protect their futures and their customers stood with them and rooted them on," Red Lobster said. "And because of that, they emerged stronger."
Flavor Flav is certainly doing his part to ensure that happens. He clarified on X that his massive order was not comped and suggested he plans to pull the same stunt at other locations.
"Imma hit as many as I can,,, cuz I am EVERY WHERE MAN," he said, writing in another post, "now we going back tomorrow or the next day and doing it again,!!!!"
The rapper also corrected multiple followers to note that Red Lobster itself isn't "closing down," declaring fans shouldn't "count em out just yet."
But when one follower questioned how his actions would save the company, he shot back, "Itz saving some of the staff with da money I gave em,,, whatchu doing to help anyone,???" And in response to another user suggesting Flavor Flav can't save the restaurant, he said, "Don't tell me what I can and can't do,,, just watch."
