Red Lobster moves ahead with restaurant makeovers
Red Lobster will move forward aggressively with makeovers for its restaurants, remodeling 50 of them to invoke images of coastal Maine this year.
Executives with Orlando-based Darden Restaurants discussed the renovation plans during a conference call Wednesday about the company's fourth-quarter and annual earnings report, released Tuesday.

Damn it, Jeffrey, are on you the same drugs Michael is accused of doping up with because you're on a roll today! The subject line "Because nothing says 'Coast of Maine' like frozen, microwaved seafood" is HILARIOUS.
This reminds that I have a dear friend, not too bright at times. She just ADORES Red Lobster. She's the only reason I have ever actually set foot in one since I grew up in an anti seafood household. Lobsters are cheap and every time another friend and I would go out with her that is where we ended up eating. Trying to open up her mind to non chain Italian food (Besides Dread Lobster she loves the Olive Garden), I suggested we we go to this nice little old school Chicago style Italian joint. What does she order? Why, lobster, of course! She had no idea what Market Price meant and just assumed the price tag on the next item listed was the price of her beloved lobster. No one was more aghast than she was when she realized as we received the check that her beloved lobster was forty dollars all by itself. This led her to proclaim "But it tasted like pneumonia!" She meant ammonia but potato, po-tat-o.
