link of the day: how red lobster reeled in ontario diners in the 1980s

 

Windsor Star, November 12, 1983.

With Red Lobster in the news due to its bankruptcy filing, it seemed like a good idea to revisit the chain's entry into Canada, starting in Windsor in 1983. I ate at the original location a lot when I was a kid, discovering a love for garlic shrimp, seafood gumbo, and escargot (though I missed the hush puppies served up in their American restaurants). And yes, I did rummage through the treasure chest.
