Joe's Crab Shack has been serving seafood and sass since 1991 — but who is Joe? In this week's episode, I dig deep into the murky origins of this kitschy crustacean-themed chain, uncovering mystery, missteps, and marketing that somehow works. From accidentally boozed-up babies to scandalous decorations and trans fat deception, Joe's has made some serious waves. Plus, I'm joined by longtime friend and podcast voice Sandy Rose to question whether you can truly trust a restaurant that sells shirts saying “I've Got Crabs.” Is Joe's just a goofy seafood joint? Or a case study in chaotic chain dining gone rogue?

This one is even more lethal than the overhwelming inferno he just unleashed on Boston.As Eve closes in, she discovers these attacks are orchestrated by a US senator and a powerful cabal of highly placed leaders and lawmakers with a hidden agenda.https://a.co/d/2yD92bjSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs. It's the word on everybody's lips this week and, as you'd expect, every food media outlet in the country published some sort of breakdown of what this means for restaurants and the food industry at large. Father Sal and I sift through the noise to distill what this means for LA restaurateurs and diners alike. Also on this episode, we issue a correction from last episode, we recap a beefy meal at the newly opened Matu Kai in Brentwood, and we dive deep on Meghan McCarron's piece for the New York Times' tracking how the decline of middle class restaurants - think Red Lobster, Chili's, Outback Steakhouse and the like - speaks to a worrying trend in American dining. In Chef's Kiss Big Miss, there's the closure of an iconic Greek restaurant, the launch of a questionable celebrity (Glen Powell) sauce brand, and the announcement of a brand new Vince Vaughn flick that hit a little too close to home for yours truly.

The Trump administration admitted in a court filing that an “administrative error” led to a Salvadoran man's deportation and imprisonment in a dangerous prison in El Salvador. As President Trump's 20% tariffs hit China, a Chinese factory owner who relies on exports to the U.S. tells CBS News he faces tough choices: Pivot to new markets or hold out hope for better trade relations. Inflation has Americans changing their dining habits – as Hooters, TGI Friday's and Red Lobster have all filed for bankruptcy.

Ryan Sutton is the chief critic and editor at The LO Times, one of the absolute best sources of food writing Substack has to offer. He previously served as Eater New York's chief food critic for almost a decade, and prior to that, the New York critic at Bloomberg News. He's won a James Beard Award and been nominated for two more, and today he lets us into his mind to understand not just how one earns the title of “critic,” but what food criticism actually entails. After Father Sal and I discussed the LA Times 101 at the end of 2024, it became abundantly clear to me that there's a lot of confusion out there about what a critic's role should be. Some believe it's to put people on to new spots and to protect their dollars from the duds, while others believe it's to point out the good and especially the bad aspects of the hottest restaurant in town. The truth is, it's way more nuanced than that, and Ryan does an excellent job of breaking down the true responsibilities of a critic, not just on an individual level, but as a profession as a whole. It also doesn't hurt that he has some fun anecdotes involving Red Lobster and Chick-fil-A, so if you do nothing else, stick around for those.

Lobster Riots? You've heard of them. You've heard of the Poverty Stricken Food that prisoners used to eat all the time? Myth? Lesson? Who knows?!?!?! Come find out.
Chain restaurants are making a comeback — from Chili's to Red Lobster, the spots we once passed over are cool once more. But why? Is it due to TikTok? Inflation? Millennial nostalgia? Eater reporter Amy McCarthy joins David to explore the recent ‘chain-aissance' and whether it can help revive Red Lobster. Later, Jordan Myrick, host of the grocery review site Sporked, tastes some storied Red Lobster offerings to find out if its foray into freezer aisles has paid off. Biscuits, anyone?

Red Lobster's new owners dream up a bold plan to revitalize the chain. And they've got a Hail Mary — the lure of endless shrimp. But they've failed to recognize just how much shrimp Americans can down in one sitting.

Red Lobster redefined American dining habits by making seafood accessible to people living outside the coasts. But its heyday didn't last. Casual observers believe Red Lobster's demise was an open-and-shut case of an all-you-can-eat deal backfiring. But there are plenty of other suspects. And as America's #1 seafood restaurant chain fights to keep its head above water, it must reckon with whether it can trust Wall Street's offer of a lifeline.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Why did restaurants close so many locations last year? This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Jim Balis, the operations partner with the private equity and debt financing firm CapitalSpring. We had Balis on the podcast to talk about the closures. A lot of companies closed locations in 2024. Many of them ended up in bankruptcy, such as Red Lobster and TGI Fridays. Others have struggled for years. But many of them include brands like Wendy's and Denny's that closed locations for strategic reasons. Closures generate headlines in publications like Restaurant Business. But there are reasons they opt to close locations. We had Balis on the podcast to talk about these reasons. We talk about the reasons companies make these decisions and what issues operators should take into consideration before they opt to close a location. We're talking closures on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
It's a brand-new year, and the girls are kicking it off the best way they know how – with food and stories! Kristin and Danna share how they celebrated the New Year, and let's just say, these two never miss a good meal. Kristin talks about the top-tier cut of meat they enjoyed, while Danna spills the details of her first-ever trip to Red Lobster… in NYC, of all places. And trust us, it's a story you won't want to miss. But the new year isn't all fun and food – Kristin might already be looking at some bad luck (yikes), and she and Bill got a taste of kid-free life while theirs were off at the 100th Anniversary Ohio Fair Managers Conference. Meanwhile, Danna's deep into home demo and renovation, and Kristin's cleaning out Sam's room now that he's back at college. Oh, and did we mention the Bible? There are some good stories in there too. And if you've got a writer in your life, stick around – they wrap things up with the perfect gift idea. Grab your snacks and get comfy – this one's full of laughs, life, and a little bit of everything in between. Stay Connected with Danna and Kristin!
Is that cat actually a shrimp? What's that little guy doing in the lobster tank at Red Lobster? And why can't you skip lunch? We answer these questions and more as we make our way through each and every course of Season 1, Episode 18 of Family Matters. Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space.
