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

The new item will be available for a limited time only to coincide with Lobsterfest, which begins March 26.
