Flavor Flav is doing his part to keep Red Lobster afloat after the restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy in May.
The Public Enemy rapper showed off a spread that could feed a football team, as Flav ordered every item imaginable off the menu for his family on Monday (June 3). Flavor Flav posed with the dining table full of various seafood dishes ranging from fish and chips to popcorn shrimp and signature menu items such as the Cheddar Bay Biscuits and Bar Harbor Lobster Bake.
“Ya boy said he wuz gonna do everything to help Red Lobster and save the Cheddar Bay Biscuits,,, ordered the whole menu,” captioned a photo of his spread on Instagram, which his daughter Da’Zyna also shared.
Fans flooded the comments to share that they loved the kind-hearted gesture from the 65-year-old. “Yooo, Flav is going to single-handedly save Red Lobster,” one wrote while another joked, “Some heroes wear clocks!”
The rapper’s team told TMZ that Flav went to RL with his daughter, and was returning with his son for seconds, and hopes to have a conversation with Red Lobster officials about collaborating in the future to see what could be done to help the franchise.
Flavor Flav continued spreading the love and awareness about Red Lobster on Twitter, where he promised a worried fan the chain “aint closing down just yet.”
Per the Associated Press, Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy protection in May after shuttering dozens of locations across the country. However, the company promised to continue operating its 600 restaurants as they look for a sale. “This restructuring is the best path forward for Red Lobster. It allows us to address several financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and re-focused on our growth,” CEO Jonathan Tibus said at the time.
Court docs show that Red Lobster reportedly employs 36,000 people across the U.S. and Canada. Outside of the 551 U.S. restaurants and 27 Canada locations, Red Lobster has a handful of franchises in Thailand, Ecuador, Japan and Mexico.
