Farewell to Red Lobster?

Gads, without Red Lobster and Olive Garden ... where would denizens of the exurb go for authentic seafood and Italian like momma used to make?

I'm telling you, it's a case for the ACLU.

Yawn.

Farewell Red Lobster: Owner to Sell or Spin Off Red Lobster, by Charisma Madarang (Foodbeast)

So long crab linguini soaking in alfredo sauce and lobster tails glistening in butter. Darden announced Thursday that it will either sell or spin off Red Lobster, in hopes of bolstering its stock value.

The company, which also runs Olive Garden and other restaurants, stated that it will also suspend the opening of new Olive Garden locations and slow down new locations for LongHorn Steakhouses.
