Some culinary concoctions are better left on Instagram, clearly made of desperation and attention. But some of them, including this new one, just might become a thing.
Red Lobster recently debuted a new menu item guaranteed to whet your appetite: Lobster & waffles.
The seafood chain, which has become nationally known as the spot where your kids get to gawk at huge lobsters in a tank, is experimenting with the famous chicken-and-waffles trope and going all in. The new meal features waffles made out of Red Lobster’s cheddar bay biscuits, which are technically a sin in food form.
“Our signature Cheddar Bay waffle is topped with a crispy buttermilk battered split Maine lobster tail then drizzled with sweet maple syrup,” the restaurant says in a press release. And can you believe it? They say this is only 1080 calories!!?
- NEW! Dueling Lobster Tails™: Maine lobster tail steamed in parchment paper with fresh herbs, tomatoes and lemon, paired with a grilled Maine lobster tail topped with shrimp, bay scallops and roasted bell peppers in a rich sherry lobster cream
- NEW! Lobster Truffle Mac & Cheese: Maine and langostino lobster tossed with cavatappi pasta in a cheesy truffle lobster cream, topped with house-made toasted Parmesan panko crumbs
- NEW! Stuffed Tilapia with Langostino Lobster: Fresh tilapia roasted with Red Lobster’s signature seafood stuffing and topped with langostino lobster in a creamy lobster beurre blanc
- NEW! Lobsterfest® Surf & Turf™: Tender Maine lobster tail, paired with guests’ choice of a wood-grilled sirloin, New York strip or filet mignon, topped with a langostino and Maine lobster beurre blanc
The new item will be available for a limited time only to coincide with Lobsterfest, which begins March 26.

Nothing quite ushers in the spring and summer in Atlanta like an evening under the lights at Chastain Park. This week, the musical lineup for the 2018 Delta Series A was released — and it’s a good one.
Starting in June, Chastain Park Amphitheatre will be rocking and rolling with acts from the past and present.

The venue, one of the city’s favorites, has undergone some renovations of late, so things may look a little different. But fans can expect the same great experience at Chastain. In addition to a larger plaza, there will be box seats and more concessions and restroom access.
In addition to the new box seats, upgraded concessions and restrooms and expanded plaza area, there are also a couple of new policies at Chastain: Coolers must be 23” wide and 16” deep and must be kept under seats to keep the aisles clear.
