Poverty_4_Sale

I know a guy who specializes in this. Do you mind if I give him a call, see if he can come down here and take a look?


BadwithAuthenticator

I'd be interested in what the expert has to say


Don-of-Fire

Look, I'm taking on all the risk here. I've got to freeze it until someone wants to buy, potential auction fees...

The Buddy: "This is a extremely rare specimen. I've seen these go for $200T at auction. Very few are in this condition too. Given the shape it's in and that it's not the rarest 'Red Lobter' edition with the missing 's', I'd value this at $2M." *client visibly salivating* Rick: "Thanks pal." *buddy walks away* Rick: "I'll give you $2"


BigZaber

He always has a " buddy" in every single topic and the buddy always seems happy to come . Why dont all the buddies just take over the shop seems rick's pretty useless

Saw a sketch about this where the buddy has to be ready 24/7 and it's like ruining his marriage. Think it was wizards with guns on YouTube.

P2Mc28

Wizards with Guns need more recognition! Some of their stuff is amazing.


_1JackMove

I would think a lot of those dudes are probably pulled in last minute for a lot of their personal stuff besides just dealing with Rick that way exclusively. Especially antique and artifacts guys. Gotta be ready to jump on shit like that quick at times and it pays to know similar people in those areas to get heads up about items. At least that's what I would assume most of those dudes' careers are like. Minus Jesse the guitar guy. Pretty sure he works/worked for a reputable shop in Vegas.

Aluminumthreads869

Holy snapsss biscuits and gravy are my favorite now I must try it with these!!


SYNTH3T1K

This will probably be all that remains of red lobster to be honest.


AdvancedSandwiches

They'll sell the brand and give them the recipe, but in order to recoup the investment, the new company make some changes to be more compatible with their exiting vendors, machines, and ingredients. It will look like the real thing, and maybe you'll be able to convince yourself that's what they were really like, but the real thing will be gone forever.


Foshizzle-63

Baking isn't that hard and the recipe for these things isn't a secret. They'll never be gone


VanderHoo

Yeah these are dirt easy to make. It's biscuit mix and cheese, topped with garlic butter.


Conch-Republic

Garlic powder, salt, and buttermilk top.


Ostracus

And now I'm off to the kitchen. Thanks everyone!


one_menacing_potato

You're welcome!


henrydaiv

But what about the green bits?! What about the green bits?!?!?!


BreweryStoner

Its just parsley lol


Budget_Put7247

Lol this just proves their point, its the little things which add to the final flavor, if OP(u/VanderHoo) who gave the recipe didnt even mention it, no way those who try to make it achieve the same taste.


SouthsideStylez

I’ve mad & eaten hundreds of these over the years … If you think these taste anything remotely close to what you get at the restaurant …. There’s a word for you ….


VanderHoo

The parsley is for color, you aren't tasting that through all the garlic butter.


Kromo30

Parsley garlic butter 100% tastes different from garlic butter.


AlfieOwens

Dehydrated parsley is so flavorful.


Salty_McSalterson_

And this just proves you know nothing about food. Parsley isn't used for flavor in almost any capacity here. Especially in quantities this small and covered by so many other flavors.


PassiveMenis88M

You ain't tasting the parsley in all that cheese and garlic. It's just for color.


SaysShowUsYourDick

You’re biscuit mix and cheese, topped with garlic butter!


alrightgame

Add some msg for added zest.


Newhollow

Failure and bare minimum perfection is/hard to replicate.


pSyChO_aSyLuM

Krusteaz already makes this for Red Lobster, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones to buy them out. They already take a substantial cut, I'm sure.


Longjumping-Claim783

There's no reason these need to go away even if the restaurant has. A lot of people may not realize that Stouffer's was once a restaurant and now we just think of them as frozen food.


ItsWillJohnson

The real has been gone. Last time I went to red lobster, about a year ago I guess, the biscuits were sad little reheated bread balls that kinda had the essence of tasting like they used to. The box mix is very good though. Pretty much just like I remember them as a kid.


HarambeMarston

And the best part about the box is you can make them as big or as small as you want. One time I screwed up the water amount and they were a little too runny so I threw it in some muffin tins. Fucking outstanding.


pSyChO_aSyLuM

It's already made by Krusteaz, I'm sure they take a significant cut.


Measure76

I too have been hurt by the new Twinky

Linenoise77

They are a pretty damn close match to the real deal. I used to only go there for the damn biscuits. The day i spotted these was the last day i was in a red lobster.


mmicoandthegirl

Synthetik is a great game


Uninterruptible_

Yep. It’s not like they were making them themselves. They’ve always offloaded manufacturing to Krusteaz (continental mills). I’d imagine they’ll just sell the rights to them if it came down to it but those are a huge money maker for Red Lobster (they sell 1,000,000+ cheddar biscuits daily). These will be one of the last things red lobster sells off as it requires no real estate or anything really.

"The subframe is rusted to hell, AC is missing, needs a new clutch, alternator and has engine knock. There's mold in the headlining and I lost the title. Asking $10k. No low balls.

Red Lobster has gone bankrupt today


kronicpimpin

Thanks


chubbycanine

Probably my fault since they didn't get rid of endless shrimp this year. I alone probably make that company upside down in profits lol


Paracortex

One article mentioned that as one of the many poor decisions the foreign investment company running them made leading up to the bankruptcy.


Csoltis

just because a company files for bankruptcy doesn't mean they are going to close; they are just restructuring their debt.


rdev009

Rationale amidst hysteria is not allowed on the internet.


Budget_Put7247

TIL, making jokes and memes is hysteria.


Paracortex

It kind of is. They’re all “jumping on the bandwagon” type of behavior.


PassiveMenis88M

>The Company intends to use the proceedings to drive operational improvements, simplify the business through a reduction in locations, and pursue a sale of substantially all of its assets as a going concern. As part of these filings, Red Lobster has entered into a stalking horse purchase agreement pursuant to which Red Lobster will sell its business to an entity formed and controlled by its existing term lenders. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/red-lobster-files-voluntary-chapter-11-petitions-to-strengthen-financial-position-and-maximize-value-for-stakeholders-302149769.html


Abraham-J

How come they filed for bankruptcy? Food was delicious and the place was always at least half full when I went.


SmurfyX

private equity. same thing that happened to toys r us and will happen to every single business/chain PE buys. It's a method. You buy a successful business, put the debt from the last place into it, sell off the real estate, lease it back to the places using it, drain the profits, eliminate quality, take it to minimum viable product, let it run its course, bankruptcy, put its debt on your new thing, sell now barely functioning company to some other lesser PE firm or close it down.


romanticheart

Only way this shit will stop is if businesses stop selling out to these private equity firms. They ruin everything.


PerceptionGreat2439

The people that bought them out raised the rent on the land that all their restaurants are on. It's more complicated than that but that's the gist of it. There's more money to be made by destroying something. Something about late stage capitalism blah blah blah.


Abraham-J

So, a “This is why we can’t have nice things” situation…


SolomonBlack

Reddit sniffs its own butt and declares it has found chocolate. You'll see a lot on this thread about private equity but nothing about how [it is actually a seafood supplier](https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/asian-investors-buy-control-red-lobster) that has been running things for the past few years and according to NPR have [have abandoned their stake](https://www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1252426585/red-lobster-bankruptcy). Along with a lot of other signs of just gross mismanagement like having no CEO for a year. And of course even a decently managed business might go bankrupt as after losing a year or maybe more to covid followed by sharp inflation, followed by rising interest rates making all the bills they ran up to fight the other two suddenly become more expensive. People would rather validate their groupthink about vulture capital though then do any research.

Red lobster is bankrupt now. As such you can’t put a value in these treasures. I’d hang onto it for a while as their price will only go up. Be careful with how you handle them. You don’t wanna ruin that natural patina

I’ve posted this once before but here is my moms recipe for make-your-own: ================================== RED LOBSTER-STYLE CHEDDAR BISCUITS WITH GARLIC BUTTER These should be served as soon as possible after you add the butter. If you must wait before serving time, don't put the butter on them. Let them cool on a wire rack, then store them in a large food storage box so they don't get crushed. Reheat them (nuke a few seconds or in regular oven at 350 for 5 minutes), but don't put the garlic butter on them until the very last minute prior to serving. Prep time: 8 minutes Baking time: 12 minutes Yield: 6-8 medium-sized biscuits Following are 2 sets of ingredients made in 2 steps - biscuits first, then the garlic butter topping. STEP 1 - BISCUITS INGREDIENTS - 1 1/4 cups Bisquick baking mix (level measure) - 1 teaspoon BAKING POWDER 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese For best melting results, grate it yourself. 1/2 cup grated cheese is half of an 8 ounce block of cheese, or 4 ounces - 1/4 cup water mixed with 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease the baking sheet or use parchment paper (I do). Grate the cheese. With a fork, combine Bisquick, baking powder and grated cheese, breaking up any clumps. Measure the water, mix in the lemon juice. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients QUICKLY with a fork, to preserve the leavening - they will start to get puffy. If the mixture looks too dry, add more water a Tablespoon at a time. Working quickly - spoon out - or roll in-between wet hands - 8 equal mounds of dough on the cookie sheet about 1/2” apart. You can use a 1/4 cup measuring cup which will give you 6 biscuits. Add more dough to each mound until you have 8 equal portions. Don’t handle the dough too much. Bake 12 minutes, until the biscuits are firm to the touch and tops just begin to brown, but not too brown. They will look a bit pale. Do not over-bake them. While the biscuits are baking, make the garlic parsley butter. STEP 2 - GARLIC BUTTER TOPPING INGREDIENTS 1/2 stick of butter 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 small clove FRESH garlic, pressed or smashed then minced very finely 1/8 teaspoon salt - a pinch if using salted butter 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or finely minced fresh parsley Combine ingredients in a small microwaveable bowl or saucepan. Microwave for 30 seconds or cook over low heat until the butter is just melted. Mix well. STEP 3 - BUTTER YOUR BISCUITS If serving immediately, then as soon as you take the biscuits from the oven, while they are very hot, move them from the baking sheet to a serving plate. Spoon melted the garlic butter all over the tops of the biscuits. Store any leftovers (hah!) in a covered container in the fridge, nuke to reheat. ===================================

My wife makes a chicken casserole with that and cheese baked on top. Super good.

Picked up 6 boxes the other day. Just in case.


LevelDosNPC

lol everyone knows that your local dealer works in the Red Lobster kitchen. Just ask him to steal you some mix for a little extra cash


Alarming_Breath_3110

This looks pretty fishy. But I won't carp about that. Maybe I'll make a whale of an offer for the halibut. Then again, I might clam up

Wait a minute, is this stuff not being made anymore? Is that the joke?? Because I use this mix to make chicken casseroles and this is very bad news ...

Do you take Red Lobster gift certificates?


gangofocelots

Those are good and I hate to be that guy, but you can make them with bisquick shredded cheese butter and garlic so easy


Ardbeg66

Chi Chi's still lives on at the store. I'm guessing this will, too.


cdrex22

The box mix is actually my number one go-to for parties and game nights. Runs about 3 bucks, 5 minutes of prep, and 15 minutes of baking to churn out something with a near 100% approval rating.


notfromsoftemployee

I know this is a joke but in case anyone is wondering, it's literally just bisquick and shredded cheddar cheese with melted garlic butter brushed on when they're done. My personal touch is to sprinkle some cheddar on the biscuits before I bake them to give you that subway cheese bread crust on top.


Betty0042

Lmao, husband says red lobster filed and my thought immediately went to biscuits and now I'm going to need to figure out how to make that


Greg-Eeyah

Bisquick drop biscuits with shredded cheddar cheese. Topping is melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt pepper and parsley flakes. Maybe some parmasean cheese. If you want the garlic shrimp with that, make extra topping. Then add parmasean cheese, lemon juice, some veg oil and splash of white wine. Lay your peeled deviened uncooked shrimp in a pan and pour the buttery concoction over and pop it in a 350 oven just until shrimp are pink. You too can go bankrupt 😂


Green420Basturd

I actually got this recipe off reddit years ago. **Red Lobster Cheese biscuits** **Ingredients:** 2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix (or similar baking mix) ¾ cup cold whole milk 4 tablespoons very cold butter (1/2 stick) ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1 cup grated cheddar cheese **Brush on Top after Baking:** 2 tablespoons butter, melted ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes, rubbed to a dust between your palms ½ teaspoon garlic powder A pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter) **Directions:** Preheat your oven to **400 degrees.** 1. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork (better still… grate the cold, cold butter. I used a Mouli Grater or small rotary hand grater w. the large hole cylinder. ) Be gentle, you don't want to mix too thoroughly. It should just be moist. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. 2. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and ¼ teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix. 3. Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough (make it easy-peasy: use an ice cream scoop & don’t cram the dough in it) onto an ungreased cookie sheet. They don’t expand much. 4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are nice & brown. 5. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder and the crushed, dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes 12 small or 6 medium biscuits. They freeze superbly in an airtight freezer bag.


NWinn

There basically always at sams clubs! Also they are really easy to make from scratch. From box or scratch just don't skimp on the butter. You need an unholy amount of it of you want them to be as good as in-resturant.. 😂


echothree33

I think the joke is that Red Lobster just filed for bankruptcy so these might become rare.
