Confession…until this last Friday, I’d never eaten at a Red Lobster. I have seafood allergies, so I stayed clear. Until I was invited to try out their new Seaside Express Lunch concept.
The idea is that this is a fast lunch, but also a good meal at a good price. Still, I was worried my allergy wouldn’t allow me to sample anything but dessert…that is until I took a look at the menu.
