So I'm at Red Lobster tonight. I admit, I'm definitely not a seafood guy. Growing up in the trailer park, I rarely ate any fish that I didn't catch myself, and lobster never came around our canal.
Anyway, I had lobster tonight with my steak and I must admit, I wasn't all that impressed. I know it's supposed to be what girls order in order to owe a guy sex. Some status symbol that comes with ordering it. But it pretty much tasted like what I believe a Krabby Patty should taste like. Thoughts on lobster?
-
too much work, too little meat.
give me some sashimi any day of the week.
-
Red Lobster is considering tacky and cheap, but I love that place. Great shrimp, biscuits, cheese rolls and yes the Lobster is pretty good.

what seafood places eclipse it? SW Florida has lots of places, but most are independet owned and you might get an amazing feast, or you might get something that should have been tossed out 3 days ago. With the standardization of a nat'l chain, you can at the very least expect some consistency in quality standards.

What the fuck's the difference? Raw or cooked?
Unless you're somewhere serving 10oz sirloin for under $10, the lobster tail is going to be peeled from the shell just about to the body anyway.
Are you thinking crab legs? Some people can't tell the difference. You'd think it is obvious, but I've met some morons that can't tell the difference.
You're probably thinking crab, never mind.

Anyone ever order a lobster and the menu says x amount and you don't realize it is by the pound and when you get the bill it is like 150 bucks? ;D

Was this your first taste of lobster? :o
The best lobster (and lobster rolls) are to be found in Maine. I know it is counterintuitive, but as a general rule seafood (shell fish or otherwise) in Florida is not very good and I say this as a seafood lover and a Florida lover. Maryland crabs are the best. Maine lobster is the best. :P
btw, why is this posted on Gossip and Opinions? Does it have anything to do with bodybuilding? ???

I think so. I've had lots of seafood at events, but never sat down at a table and pointed at it on the menu and identified it. Usually, given a plate of seafood, I'd just shovel it down and look for a biscuit. I'm not the most cultured guy, I admit.
Usually, when the menu permits, I choose steak over anything fish or fowl.

Red Lobster is garbage and Lobsters are the shit eaters of the sea. I'll take a steak.

Daniel san is from Metro Detroit where "sign of the beefcarver" and "coney island" are as prominent as IHOP is in Florida.
I'm sure he took a date to Birmingham for an $80 "choice" ribeye a time or two, which allows him a condescending view on family food fair.

Cud chewing represents a more "cultured" aspect of the animal kingdom, no?

Haha, I am not from Macomb county, but we do have a lot of coneys. Birmingham and Troy do have nice restaurants though, but I am to really into them. I like Red Lobster and Outback just fine.

What's the place that lets you toss your peanut shells onto the floor?
That's quality meat there!
Michiganders, while fat and uneducated, can cook a fucking steak.
Only place I've ever been where EVERY cook knows what a "Pittsburgh" grilled steak is.
Try that in some hemp bricked rice steamer out in Colorado.
-

No, that's Lonestar steakhouse, they all closed around here. Good food though.

Have you ever lived outside of FL? You--everyone really--owes it to themselves to pick up and live in another part of the country. Many people do this for college, grad school, or employment.
Even if when “becoming a cultured person” is not the goal, you learn and experience SO MUCH from living in different parts of the country. The people you meet, the foods you eat, the things you are exposed to, the habits you pick up. All of this is magnified to the nth degree if you get to live abroad! If you don’t get to do it, make sure your children do. They will thank you for it.

Well they probably don't mind that as much as the fact that you never made it to 240... ;D

I lived in Ohio near Cleveland until I was 16. hard working people up there. way different everything up there. Cloudy 10 months per year. people jumped off bridges a lot up there, very odd. A suicide a week. Crime was terrible. Lots of successful people walking into buildings where bums were sitting on the sidewalks. Weird. FL is full of lazier people overall, but the weather is nicer.

Just about time to either diet on down to 205 and win a show or take another stab at it then. It's just that simple. ;D

It's actually harder now. Since I have a family to live for, I stopped the reckless drinking and buffet gorging. I used to eat at Golden Corral every day. Now I try to be healthy, and shit man, healthy people are skinny!

You might as well eat a fucking cockroach.

ya gotta eat it wit hot butter, then it's mighty tasty ;D

Red Lobster is a hit or miss, so I don't go anymore. Pretty much the high class place to go, if you live in the ghetto.
If you get a surf & turf, it is a great blend. Personally, I'd rather eat home...no wait, the food will be perfect, and the amounts will be spot on. Plus, I can post on getbig, while that steak is cooking. Doing lobster at home, is a bit of a hassle to me.

Not being funny, but gay men love to live other places. Atlanta, D.C., Houston, San Francisco, N.Y., New Orleans,etc...
Why is that? Is it because most gay men have no responsibilities (i.e. kids, wife) besides themselves?

Ive been to Red Lobster only once and never went back, that says something....I guess after eating Lobster in Hokkaido Japan, im ruined for life when it comes to lobster.....

Never been anywhere that sells seafood as their mains. But I'm a huge fan of Thai and Indian atm.

Live Lobster Tail Sashimi
the only right way to eat it.
-
Living on the new england coast I can say that eating red lobster is like going to white castle and determining that you don't like beef...
10 minutes from my house there is an all you can eat lobster house...65 bucks
And those that think its too much work just haven't had enough practice. I can take the meat out of the tail and both claws in 30 seconds...mmm

The all you can eat place has 1 lb'ers....I can eat about 10 before things start getting disgusting...I haven't done that in years though and I hear as you age you can't pack it in as much so I'd say I could clear 7 or 8 nowadays...

damn man that's a lot of lobster you must have a pretty fast metabolism to eat that much and be as lean as you are.
-
Lobster is good. Crack the tails put in in foil with butter(and maybe a squeeze of lemon) and throw em on the grill with your steaks. You'll be eating good.

I guess you would, spending a year's income on one meal wouldn't make much sense for ya. Peanut butter and Jelly or Mayonaise sandwiches are more your style.

I had steamed lobster when I was in Boston.. I dipped it in butter and washed it down with beer.. Not enough meat for something that expensive imo, but it was still good shit. I also had fried lobster rolls, which tasted no different from crab cakes.
-
First time I ever had Lobster was in Miami and Big John Studd taught me how to eat it. I didn't think it was anything special. I then went to Einsenada, Mexico and had it with some friends and it is not bad when you dip it in refried beans. Other than that I have never ordered it myself. A gym I was building on Oahu back in the early 90's had the only live lobster tanks in the whole state. They had a couple hundred lobsters in there all the time. Different tanks for different size lobsters. They had a 21 lb lobster that someone bought for a Christmas party at the restaurant across the street in Restaurant Row. They put the claw at the top of the Christmas tree. It was HUGE. It was the biggest claw ever. They said the lobster had to have been at least 100 years old and I guess the meat is kind of tough. It fed 20+ people.
-
my girl loves lobster tail...so she does surf n turf all the time..she's forced me to try it with some melted butter..and i must say if it wasn't for the butter i wouldn't have liked it..it ws meh ok..
i'd rather have kobe steak anytime..yum!

Lobster bisque is my favorite soup... but good bisque is very hard to find. Good bisque should have lumps of whole meat in it! :P

Lobster is good. I don't go to Black Lobster, but I do go to OutBack and get the 3 Broiled Tails for $24.99. If you're in the Northeast, try to a Lobsterfest in Montauk/Hamptons or anything north of Boston along the shoreline.
Being a native of Maryland, I dig Crab legs and Crabcakes more than lobsters. Good crabcakes are tough to find anywhere, especially heavy on the jumbo lump crabmeat and light on the filler. Great Crabcake place in Lanham, MD and the Golden Bull in Hyattsville or Gaithersburg is not bad. O'Donnells in Bethesda kicks ass too. Never had a good crabcake in a chain seafood place.
And 240, enjoy the local catches down there: Marlin and Dolphin (Mahi Mahi). Lobsters come from up north. By the time they get to Florida, they're either dead or suicidal.
Thanks Lobsterphone for the Crabcake listings in Maryland!
-

Oh brother, still swinging from my nuts huh? Find one post where I said I was 247 with abs and LINK it or Delete you account.
Don't hate on me cause you can't afford lobster, tell the manager at Burger King you want move from Fries to the Register. Maybe he'll give you a raise. :D

Not all Lobsters come from Maine; I only wish that were the case. When you order any seafood in a restaurant feel free to ask where it was caught. Any restaurant should be happy to tell you. If they hem, haw, or cop and attitude don't eat there. If the waiter says he does not know tell him to ask; the chef will usually know.
My gf and I used to go out to dinner all the time in FL. Once we went out to a place neither of us had been before and saw lobster on the menu. We went to grad school together in New England and both loved lobster. She asked the waiter if it was Maine lobster or Florida lobster. He reported back that it was FL lobster! My gf balked and ordered something else. :-X
Lesson: do not assume that all lobster was caught in Maine.

Trust me. Lobster caught in RI is just as delicious as from Maine. Freshness and cold water is the key. After they are caught they starve and the meat goes bad even though they are alive...

I'm still following the very good, very effective diet from Layne Norton (http://biolayne.com).
But today we drove 2 hours to the zoo, so it was fast food on the road and lots of bottled waters. I prefer Chick Fil-A or other fast food, but we had 3 rugrats with us so of course, McD wins.

Yes, you wrote that Layne made a diet for you, with more carbs than you are used too.
What does it consist of? (calories/protein/carbs/fat + types of food)

I don't want to post it in its entirety - trade secrets and whatnot. If I recall, he charges $150 for a consultation and complete custom diet, and seriously, it's worth every penny. As you can see, I went from very scrawny in the mr getbig 3 pics, to a lot leaner and bigger.
He gave me a really good list of carbs I could eat. He told me WHEN to eat them. percentages. The protein was a lot LOWER than I had been eating, carbs much HIGHER. Calories were LOWER - probably 750 or 1000 lower than where I was. Bulking and cardio days, daily caloric breakdowns... you name it, it was detailed perfectly. He had me eating less, doing more cardio, and less protein - but due to very intelligent carbs, I got out of that GI black hole I was in and started getting leaner and bigger at once.
As many of you rememebred, I spent the better part of 6 years (aged 25 to 31) being scrawny, getting fat, then getting scrawny again. Layne has changed that, and I cannot recommend him enough. www.biolayne.com

I'm one of those assholes who has an opinion on everything. If I read a thread, I respond. So while I might have 40 posts one day, it means I read 40 threads. If I have 80 posts, I read 80 threads.
When I had real jobs, I wouldn't post while at work. I'm an ambitious prick... lunch breaks were usually dedicated to trying to impress the boss' boss with a new project to undermine my boss to move into his position. No time to read/post then.
So now that I'm at home for 10 hours a day with a rugrat, I kind of miss adult conversation. I'm watching Spongebob and Sesame street and Dora/Diego all day long with a boy who can say ten words and would rather bite me than talk about training or nutrition. So I come here a lot to retain my semi-sanity.

As many of you rememebred, I spent the better part of 6 years (aged 25 to 31) being scrawny, getting fat, then getting scrawny again. Layne has changed that, and I cannot recommend him enough. www.biolayne.com
Layne told me to eat Doritos and ho ho's. He give you the same list?

The Hostess Factor. Yes, of course.

First time I ever had Lobster was in Miami and Big John Studd taught me how to eat it. I didn't think it was anything special. I then went to Einsenada, Mexico and had it with some friends and it is not bad when you dip it in refried beans. Other than that I have never ordered it myself. A gym I was building on Oahu back in the early 90's had the only live lobster tanks in the whole state. They had a couple hundred lobsters in there all the time. Different tanks for different size lobsters. They had a 21 lb lobster that someone bought for a Christmas party at the restaurant across the street in Restaurant Row. They put the claw at the top of the Christmas tree. It was HUGE. It was the biggest claw ever. They said the lobster had to have been at least 100 years old and I guess the meat is kind of tough. It fed 20+ people.
my brother is a lobster trapper in seal harbor, maine. he trapped a 25 lb blue lobster. drawn butter is preferred; that's when the butter is heated sufficiently and separates. the salt and additives float to the bottom. why is maine lobster the best? the shell is really hard and the meat is firm not watery.

Red Lobster=Whack, that place is just not right in some way-I have a personal Ban on the place right.
Lobster= yeah it is a little over rated
and Yeah those biscuit joints are Good!

McD's is nasty. Wendy's is good.

So I'm at Red Lobster tonight. I admit, I'm definitely not a seafood guy. Growing up in the trailer park, I rarely ate any fish that I didn't catch myself, and lobster never came around our canal.
Anyway, I had lobster tonight with my steak and I must admit, I wasn't all that impressed. I know it's supposed to be what girls order in order to owe a guy sex. Some status symbol that comes with ordering it. But it pretty much tasted like what I believe a Krabby Patty should taste like. Thoughts on lobster?
So you are basically white trash, right?

I grew up near Cleveland, poor and on welfare. I moved to a FL trailer park where I lived for a few years. I decided when I was 18 that I'd like to better my situtation. I got a Pell Grant (college assistance for po' folk) and I went to community college. In 2 years I became a substitute teacher and moved to an apartment. 3 years later I was a fulltime teacher earning computer certifications and later my masters degree. I now live in a pretty nice home in a really nice area. I work 50 hours a week. I pay my taxes, and I follow the law.
If you consider me trailer trash because I had to live in one during high school, okay.

Actually Tommy Burgers in LA are unreal too.

Was this your first taste of lobster? :o
The best lobster (and lobster rolls) are to be found in Maine. I know it is counterintuitive, but as a general rule seafood (shell fish or otherwise) in Florida is not very good and I say this as a seafood lover and a Florida lover. Maryland crabs are the best. Maine lobster is the best. :P
btw, why is this posted on Gossip and Opinions? Does it have anything to do with bodybuilding? ???
I know I don't like lobster. I was in Rockland, Maine and saw the ocean a couple hundred yards away-practically watched them pull the cage out and serve it to me.
It was my first time having lobster, but I feel the same way as Candidizzle; too much work, too little meat, and overall I didn't care for the taste at all. :-X
I'll let others eat all the lobster they want.....just give me a Ruth's Chris steak!!! :D

Bay GBM is right though the best lobster is from maine, man you want clam chowder and some other speicalty items go to boston md/VA is crabs for sure ....FL as you know is all types of seafood....
redlobsters suck donkey dick like squadfather...but ...good cheese biscuits....
maine lobster is money. btw, i wouldnt base my opinion on foods on chain restaurants like red lob.

Lobster is good. I don't go to Black Lobster, but I do go to OutBack and get the 3 Broiled Tails for $24.99. If you're in the Northeast, try to a Lobsterfest in Montauk/Hamptons or anything north of Boston along the shoreline.
Being a native of Maryland, I dig Crab legs and Crabcakes more than lobsters. Good crabcakes are tough to find anywhere, especially heavy on the jumbo lump crabmeat and light on the filler. Great Crabcake place in Lanham, MD and the Golden Bull in Hyattsville or Gaithersburg is not bad. O'Donnells in Bethesda kicks ass too. Never had a good crabcake in a chain seafood place.
And 240, enjoy the local catches down there: Marlin and Dolphin (Mahi Mahi). Lobsters come from up north. By the time they get to Florida, they're either dead or suicidal.
Thanks Lobsterphone for the Crabcake listings in Maryland!
word. montauk has some amazing seafood!

I'm trying. It's hard to get that big without being a bloated fatass.
I tell you what is overrated.... OYSTERS... totally and utterly overrated, I come from a very "sophisticated" (what ever it is good for) family, both parents Teachers etc. so I'm always open for new foods etc, but the first time I had oysters I was instantly thinking? WTF? and this is what people go nuts for? you eat it raw, it's slobbery salty and has FUCK ALL taste.

does any seafood beat a Fish-O-Filet sandwich? I mean, really?

Red Lobster is a hit or miss, so I don't go anymore. Pretty much the high class place to go, if you live in the ghetto.
If you get a surf & turf, it is a great blend. Personally, I'd rather eat home...no wait, the food will be perfect, and the amounts will be spot on. Plus, I can post on getbig, while that steak is cooking. Doing lobster at home, is a bit of a hassle to me.
?..........boil the lobster ,melt the butter and eat the fucking lobster.....you need 8-10 to really be eating lobster

OK so you used to date girls?
Thought the same thing ;)

Yeah let's hear more on that, right? 5 pages long, 1300 views and this thing could still just be getting warmed up. I was wondering myself why he'd encourage us to trust the taste of a chick who was dating a gay man, unless of course she was into that. ;D
