Red Lobster Overhauls Menu After Emerging From Bankruptcy

By

Seafood-restaurant chain Red Lobster is looking to make a comeback from bankruptcy with a new menu, a new 35-year-old CEO, and a new way forward.

Damola Adamolekun, the new chief executive of Red Lobster, is taking over a chain in turmoil. And he’s only 35.

“There’s a hole to climb out of, for sure, and that will be the hardest part,” Adamolekun told CNN last Friday in his first on-camera interview as CEO.

The new Red Lobster menu includes nine new items:

  • Lobster Pappardelle
  • Pasta Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops
  • Lobster Bisque
  • Lemon Basil Mahi
  • Simply Prepared Mahi
  • Parmesan-Crusted Chicken
  • Roasted Asparagus

Red Lobster’s new Lobster Pappardelle

Red Lobster’s revamped menu will be 20% smaller and won’t include the popular $19.99 all-you-can-eat Ultimate Endless Shrimp.

Also returning to the menu one of their more popular items hush puppies. “There was a social media riot over us taking off the hush puppies a few years ago,” CEO Damola Adamolekun told NBC News. “I expect a stampede into our restaurants because we’re bringing back the hush puppies,” he jokingly added.

hush puppies

New to the lunch menu- an endless soup, salad & cheddar bay biscuits combo for $9.99.  Choose from clam chowder or lobster bisque and a house salad, caesar salad or coleslaw.

The new menu comes as the chain’s CEO Damola Adamolekun is rolling out a comeback plan that also includes a revamped look and an advertising campaign aimed at bringing in younger customers.

“We want to make the restaurants more fun,” Adamolekun shared. Diners will soon notice new lighting at the restaurants and new music as part of Adamolekun’s efforts to attract younger customers who might have grown up going to the chain but haven’t been back for some time.

Red Lobster recently emerged from bankruptcy with a $60 million restructuring deal backed by Fortress Investment Group, which involved closing about 100 of its 640 restaurants, leaving 544 Red Lobsters remaining in the U.S. and Canada.

It’s been a tough year for fast-casual and family-style chains. Red Lobster, whose visits decreased nearly 45% year-over-year, joins a growing list of chains that have filed for bankruptcy as a result of weakening sales due to higher prices, inflation, high-interest rates, and the need for strategic realignment to meet shifting consumer habits.

However, there is good news for disappointed shrimp lovers. The new CEO did hear customers complaining about the tartar sauce recipe and promised a new, “better” one is coming soon.

Grand Opening of Wright Dunbar Cigars Friday

By

Wright Dunbar neighbors Jeff Jackson and Dallas Webster have talked about opening a cigar bar for a while and this Friday their dreams become a reality as the doors will open to Wright Dunbar Cigars on West Third Street.

Owners Dallas Webster & Jeff Jackson

We appreciate that they took some time to answer our questions and share them with you here:

Why a cigar bar?

DW:  Why Not?   But Seriously, our research has shown that the cigar sales growth rates are 4% to 8% over the next 5 years.  But when you factor in memberships, private events, pairing events and exclusive experiences, the growth rate increases 6% to 10% over the next 5 years, leveling out at about 7% for 10 years.
JJ:  I have been a cigar smoker for about 9 years now and in the culture for the last 4 or 5. This business fits, not only my interests, but my lifestyle. I have learned to understand that if you love what you do, it’s never really “work.” When I decided to leave corporate employment behind, over 15 years ago, I never wanted to “work” again, and this is the next step in that journey.
 
What can people expect when they visit?
JJ: Our patrons and members can expect an elevated experience at Wright Dunbar Cigars. We want you to feel like you have been transported to a destination unique all in itself. Classy, comfortable, sophisticated, familiar, entertaining, and enjoyable. We welcome all cigar smokers from first timers, looking how to engage, to afficionados with a mature palette who knows what they want and expect.
DW:  When people come to Wright Dunbar Cigars, they can expect a unique experience.  When creating our space we collaborated with uCreative in Miamisburg Oh, to create a unique design using earth tones and natural finishes.  Our General Contractor Terence Wright of Tri-Tech in Centerville Oh,  extended our design with unique lighting, custom wood finishes and implementation of our concept.  We have exposed brick surfaces, wood flooring, leather seating and a state of the art smoke removal system.
What does membership mean, how much and what is included?
DW: We are currently in our innaugral membership period, with memberships ranging from $1000 to $1500.  Of course membership has it privileges and include – a humidor locker for cigar storage, discounts on cigars, accessories, events and private rental.  We have an exclusive member VIP area on the 2nd floor with secret and private entrances.  We encourage everyone to take advantage of our inagural membership drive before it ends.

JJ: Membership means everything! The best features of our lounge revolves around members benefit’s. We will certainly reward our inaugral members; those who took “the leap of faith” and made a commitment to us! They will be who we will remember,  value, and honor as our business grows and thrives.

Can people rent out the space for private events?

DW: Yes, we will have a 2 tier event rental with members having reduced rental rates.  Our theater room can be configured as a conference room for corporate offsite meetings.  
Anything else you’d like to share?
DW:  When creating our space, upon entering, we wanted our guest to say, “Am I in Dayton”.  and our answer is “Yes you are”.  Jeff and I have an ongoing fun debate where I say we have the best Cigar lounge in the State of Ohio… LOL.   but seriously we have made a substantial investment and it’s for our members and guest.  On Weekends we plan to offer valet parking, escort by staff to our cigar humidors, assistance with cigar selection, and even cutting and lighting should our customers want that.
JJ: We want people to explore something they may not have experienced here in Dayton, OH. We are very fortunate to be in an incredibly unique space, designed for a great smoking experience. We are in a historically valuable part of town that is benefiting from a surging renaissance. We want people all over the Miami Valley to experience the “big city” right here in our hometown.

DAI Exhibit Highlights Two Classic Animated Features

By

Just in time for the holidays, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation at The Dayton Art Institute (DAI). Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family, on view now through January 19, 2025. Just in time for the holidays, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation.

View original drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Chuck Jones, who brought Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday tale to life in the 1966 animated special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, then laugh alongside Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart as you experience the original handmade animation cels of the acclaimed series.

“The art displayed in our newest exhibitions explores the significant influence animation has had in pop culture and the worlds of art, entertainment and business,” said DAI Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director Jerry N. Smith. “Animation art is beloved worldwide, and for many of us, this medium is our introduction to art. This work showcases how in each animated classic, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.”

In 1966, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s bookHow the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss.

(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989, there have been more than 770 episodes. Initially crafted through traditional ink-and-paint techniques on transparent acetate cels, the first 13 seasons (1989–2002) were produced by hand before transitioning to cost-effective digital animation. These hand-drawn cels are featured in the exhibition. In the early seasons elements, now vital to the series, were created, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode, which is replicated at the DAI, allowing guests the chance to truly enter the fictional world of Springfield.

Fun and colorful, these two exhibitions showcase the art of illustration. A family-friendly and nostalgic outing, guests will enjoy more than 400 works of original art, as well as interactive sensory stations, educational resources and photo opportunities.

“In addition to learning about the art of animation and illustration, those attending our newest special exhibitions can expect a joyful, playful, and nostalgic experience,” said DAI Director & President Michael R. Roediger. “This artwork was created to bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. We’re excited to offer each guest the chance to slip away from any of life’s stresses and spend time reconnecting with characters they know and love. These two exhibitions are fun, colorful and truly memorable.”

 

Several related programs will be offered in conjunction with the Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family. These include:

 

  • Community Tour: November 2, 1–2 p.m.; November 23, 1­–2 p.m.; December 7, 1–2 p.m.; December 19, 6–7 p.m.; January 18, 1–2 p.m.
