I have an odd fascination with Red Lobster.
Actually, it's not a fascination; rather, a depressing history that makes me think about the "Seafood Lover in You" a lot. You see, my family used to go out to eat at Red Lobster a lot when my sisters and I were little. Part of it was that my mother and sisters were bonkers about Alaskan king crab legs (I was never into such messy foods), part of it was that Red Lobster happened to be one of the only "nice" restaurants we could go to in our neighborhood, and part of it was that my Dad thought taking us out to a restaurant in the first place would teach us table manners.
I digress. The point of the matter is that I hated Red Lobster. I don't like the taste of lobster, I don't like the work of eating crab legs, and I thought eating with a bib was beyond ridiculous. However, there was one thing, and one thing only for which I would go back now, as an adult, to Red Lobster: the cheddar bay biscuits.
But thanks to food blog Rasa Malayasia, I might not even have to go back to the horrid restaurant of my childhood. She searched for the "secret" recipe for the biscuits, baked them at home, and has shown the recipe to be just as good as the original, if not better!
Rasa Malaysia, this Seafood Hater in Me thanks you!

If you hate Red Lobster, but admit you love the biscuits, then I commend to your attention one of the funniest restaurant reviews I've ever read, which begins "Why is it the few times I've patronized this rape of the sea freeze-fest there's always a Klump family reunion singing hallelujahs over their tumbling tower of shattered shellfish?"
Read the review by "Buster P" here:

They also sell a quick packaged version of them via Bisquik in the baking aisle. For quick mix biscuits, they are pretty good.

If you love Red Lobster CB Biscuits but dont want to make them yourself (yes even food lovers get lazy). Then check out Schwan's cheddar herb biscuits. They are frozen and you can as easily cook 1 as you can 10. They are awesome for a night when you are just dog tired but want an amazing meal. Pan fry some salmon and steam a few beans and then add these and it is an amazing meal in like 20 minutes!
