It's funny you mention that. The conversation started because a buddy of mind took a first date to red lobster and he ordered the all-you-can-eat shrimp and lobster deal. Naturally we gave him hell about it.
In their defense...they do have a decent cajun chicken pasta...

Hey when you travel a lot...most of the time all you get is the TGIAppleOliveOutback restaurants...I prefer not to eat there, but I have my favorite dishes at each place I guess.

I know...saying that a chicken dish is the best thing at red lobster is saying something tho.

There's this place in Chicago that has amazing mussels. Just terrific. I don't know how they do it.

I'm sure there are exceptions as you noted Geen, but TFG's / stmt is a pretty solid general rule that can save one much gastric distress over the course of a lifetime.

One of the great seafood exceptions in St. Louis is Bristols. I've had stuff from their raw bar I trust as much as stuff I've gotten on the coasts.

My general rule is that I'll risk a few days out with food poisoning to have something good. Now, I'm not going to push it and get sashimi at the local strip club or something like that, but I'm not one that is scared easily by culinary delights.
