As I type this, Gllen is attempting to recreate the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit. Using only the ingredients we have on hand. Before we remembered that we had normal cheddar cheese in the fridge, he contemplated making it with the low fat shred I had on hand. I know. I was shocked too. Thankfully, it didn't come to that.
I told Gllen, "If you manage to recreate those cheddar biscuits, there will be no reason to ever go to Red Lobster again."
Gllen pondered this and asked me sadly, "But what about the lobster and the Long Island Iced Teas?"
Serious eye-roll from me. A Long Island Iced Tea is not a reason to go to a Red Lobster.
Update: We are still potential customers of Red Lobster. Gllen's experiment didn't work out... although he really tried to like it. He kept taking bites of his biscuit and then groaning and whining when it didn't taste any better than the last bite. Big pouty frowns abound.
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you about my horrible Red Lobster experience? Shortly after moving to the cities I decided that 25 years of life without ever trying shell fish was too long, so I decided to experience these ugly creatures that everybody seems to think are delectable. I had a sampling of lobster, crab, and I think scallops... and holy shit was that a bad idea. Intestinal freak-out (read: failure) my body did NOT know what to do with such foreign matter! (Val, I think you can relate?) Or, it could have been food poisoning, idk.
ReplyDeleteDespite that horrible memory, I would totally go back and eat the hell out of those biscuits.
Every time i've ever eaten at red lobster i've gotten sick, 3 times if i remember right.
ReplyDeleteThose biscuits are way too good though. Gllen, keep trying, i would rather eat at red gllensters anyday.
Every time Gllen and I have eaten at Red Lobster, he gets drunk on Long Island Iced Teas. We haven't been there since the Dupont Days, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can eat the hell out of the biscuits too! But I think they are the only redeeming quality of Red Lobster. Andrea, you should give seafood another chance - but at a GOOD place.
Gllen, I was told at work today that the secret is Bisquick.
When the recipe is mastered, we will host a party.
kate, we have to go to RL ASAP.
ReplyDeletecould gllen try shoving parsley + cheddar in a grands biscuit? or is that too ghetto?
ReplyDeletei like how we are all leaving each other messages on here.
gllenblog 4eva!
Another secret - mixing garlic salt in with the butter baste. That would pretty much make anything taste delicious.
ReplyDeleteGrands. I scream every time I pop open a tube. Its awesome.
i totally freak out when i have to pop open one of those tubes. the TRICK IS to unwrap it slowly so that it never pops, then bang it on the counter and it won't shock you; the bang on the counter is louder than the pop.
ReplyDeleteBOOM!
mike, i dont like red lobster or biscuits. i have no need to go there. i think i have only been once, with you.
ReplyDeletegood luck gllen, on this endeavor.
