Has Flavor Flav SAVED Red Lobster?
Not all heroes wear capes, but this one does wear a giant ass clock around his neck.
“We gotta save the cheddar biscuits!” – Flavor Flav. No truer words have been said.
The 90s icon has been outspoken all summer about saving tqhe restaurant chain Red Lobster after they announced bankruptcy in May. The seafood establishment filed for Chapter 11 after a major drop in guests since 2019 along with their all-you-can-eat shrimp special that guests took a little too intensely.
Over the summer Red Lobster has closed a least 129 locations around the country.
When rapper Flavor Flav heard of the news, he knew it was a spiritual calling to step-up for the sake of cheddar biscuits. He posted a video announcing he is visiting Red Lobster’s around the nation and ordering everything on the menu. “When the internet says Red Lobster is going away, boy, Flavor Flav says not today.” He said he wanted to “help save one of America’s greatest dining dynasties.”
In July, Flav even teamed up with the company to announce the resurgence of Red Lobster’s Crabfest. They even gave the artist his own secret menu items that guests could come in and order.

His efforts clearly have paid-off, literally. The CEO of Red Lobster announced earlier this week that the chain has been acquired and is a big step closer to exiting Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
“This is a great day for Red Lobster. Red Lobster has a tremendous future, and I cannot wait to get started on our plan.”
Gayle King spoke with Flavor Flav about his efforts and the delicious good news.
“I stepped in and tried to help them out because one thing that I could say, Gayle, Red Lobster’s always been one of my favorite family restaurants since back in the 90s. I’ve always been in love with their food, man. And mainly the biscuits. The biscuits!”
Let’s all take a lesson from the king of hip-hop. If you want something done, if you want to see change in the world, go out and buy yourself some dang lobster. W.W.F.F.D. (What Would Flavor Flav Do.)
