Red Lobster
Red Lobster is a U.S. chain of seafood resturants. It is aimed at the mid-level "casual dining" segment of the market and features a variety of boiled, steamed, and fried seafood. Though Red Lobster offers a number of common side orders including French fries, salad, and coleslaw, its signature item may well be its "Cheddar Bay biscuits," which have attracted somewhat of a cult following.
Red Lobster was founded in 1968 by entrepreneurs Bill Darden and Joe Lee . Originally billed as a "Harbor for Seafood Lovers", the original restaurant in Lakeland, Florida was quickly followed by several others throughout the Southeast. Today, there are over 350 Red Lobster locations throughout the United States and Canada.
In 1995, Red Lobster (along with the Olive Garden) became part of Darden Restaurants, Inc., a firm owned by Joe Lee .
