My wife and I had dinner at the Red Lobster Friday night. We haven’t been there in 10 years or so, and we remarked on entering how new the decor looked.
After dinner on the way to our car the wife spotted their dumpster chock full of all the old decor. We pulled out two lobster crates, and two carved wood signs.
One says “romance by the sea” and it’s about 10′ long by 10″. The other is a display of carved wood seafood (lobster,crab,fish etc.) Left ton’s of other stuff including wainscoting and whatever was on the bottom. It was all in a separate dumpster from the kitchen garbage.
Amazing what gets thrown out.

you lucky guy. at first I was cringing when I saw you were going to dive in a restaraunt dumpster but it turned out OK. LOL
Now you can decorate your dining room just like red lobster.
Hey, I'll bet your friends won't even flinch when you present them with the bill and a mint, after dinner...
; )
A good heart embiggins even the smallest person.

I have a friend that used to work at a red lobster in st louis
I beg all of you, do not eat in a red lobster.Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, Professionals build the Titanic.
'y not?
other than the fact their food tastes like sh**?
I've been in their kitchen, the word sanitary did not come to mind when I was in there, and from what the manager told me, all the Red Lobsters he had worked in were that way.Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, Professionals build the Titanic.
I have eaten in 12 or so from the east to Colorado and inbetween and the food was crap in all of them.
Try being a service plumber in a small town. You know real quick where you will eat and where you won't. Because you get into the kitchens.
I like one local eatery... their kitchen is entirely exposed to the eating area.
Ain't it the truth. I'm the G.C. on a chinese buffet that previously was a chinese buffet. Stuff the previous resturant left is Making me think twice about chinese food. this is my 2cnd resturant remodel this year. Thinking about not eating out so much.
don't get me started on Chinese...
funny note... recently a large Chinese place locally was forced to do a news release that they did not use cats in their menus. seems they kept getting turned in for that and the Health Dept. has to follow up on every complaint.
The owner, a Chinese guy, was pointing out a pet cat that hung around as proof. His comment was "See, she ees nice and fat. Why would she be nice and fat if we were going to cook her?"
I roared when I read that.
hey maybe the begining of a new magazine for taunton, "Fine Dumpster Diving"
Ill tell ya this, you guys made a believer outta me. ive been cruising the dumpsters now when I go to blows or rocklers ect havent gotten anything yet but Im sure its just a matter or time
Darkworks: No Guns No Butter squilla and the bling bling.
The mother-lode of dumpster diving season is upon us. The kids at college, not wanting to haul their junk home, throw their perfectly good junk away.
My SIL worked at the U. of Dull-a-where(?) and every June she would bring home stereos, TVs, dorm refrigerators. Not a whole lotta tools, but some good stuff nonetheless.View Image
Lobster traps make really cool end tables. My mom had one for years.
Who Dares Wins.
