Red Lobster Times Square Closure Has Internet Asking If Endless Shrimp Was Its Final Meal
In what could either be a tragic farewell or a glorious redemption arc, Red Lobster has shuttered its iconic Times Square location, and the internet is already roasting the chain harder than a lobster in a 400-degree oven. The closure comes after a chaotic year of financial struggles and the infamous “Ultimate Endless Shrimp” promotion—which, let’s be honest, was basically a $20 bet that customers would surrender before the 30th basket of biscuits. Meme historians are calling this the perfect irony: a restaurant known for “seafood for the people” got flooded by people literally eating it out of business. Cue the Cheddar Bay Biscuit funeral.
