Flavor Flav Will Do ‘Anything And Everything’ To Save Red Lobster: ‘Ordered The Whole Menu’
It appears Flavor Flav is on a mission to save Red Lobster one cheddar bay biscuit at a time, as mass closings continue to plague the establishment — but not on Flav's watch.
The former Public Enemy rapper and 'Flavor of Love' star took to social media, excited to share that he did indeed put his money where his mouth is, posting a photo of himself standing over a smorgasbord of seafood and appetizers.
The move didn't go unnoticed, with the establishment sharing and reposting the photo writing, "It's Flavor time boyeeeeee," "Flavor Flav is for the people," and "this hero wears clocks!"
"Ya boy meant it when I said I was gonna do anything and everything to help @Redlobster and save the cheddar bay biscuits...ordered the whole menu!!!" the rapper, 66, wrote on June 6 — which has since been viewed over 1.3 million times.

"Wait you saving Red Lobster and the water polo team? I love it," a user on Twitter, now known as X, commented.
"And teachers and music education and mental health awareness and food banks and addiction counseling and FUN, seems like FUN needs to be saved lots these days," the 'Fight the Power' rapper replied, who seemingly responds to as many comments as he can.
Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Florida on May 19 and listed nearly 99 dine-in locations through 28 states which are set to shut down, but the seafood family favorite isn't the only one experience financial hardship.
Eat This Not That reported that American chain favorites including Cracker Barrel, Applebee's, TGI Fridays, Denny's, Boston Market, Outback Steakhouse, and Hardee's are all experiencing nationwide shut downs.

"Red Lobster is determined to be there for these moments for generations to come. And that's why we filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection," the establishment wrote in a statement on X, revealing that the filing allows them to grow "stronger as a company going forward."
"Join us. Dine with us," they concluded. "Root for us. Together, we can write a new chapter."
