Fans may love the chain restaurant's signature Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but Red Lobster is, arguably, known for its seafood. While the restaurant regularly dishes up the classics, like shrimp, crab, and (of course) lobster, Red Lobster also has a rotating list of seasonal menus that amp up fan favorites on an annual basis, like the limited-edition Crabfest Menu that returns during the summer. Now the chain is gearing up for a yearly lobster revamp, including plenty of new dishes that may just give the infamous biscuits a run for their money. Red Lobster Debuts New Menu Items With the Return of Lobsterfest Red Lobster’s annual Lobsterfest is officially returning nationwide, and the chain is pulling out all of the stops when it comes to festivities. This year’s Lobsterfest features a special limited‑time menu including brand-new dishes alongside returning Red Lobster favorites, plus celebratory cocktails fit for the ultimate seafood celebration.

Food stamps should be a helping hand for the able bodied, not a forever crutch

I understand that many food stamp recipients are anxious, even angry, that the government shutdown could mean no food stamps in November. Perhaps longer if the government doesn't reopen. And they're also angry about the new work requirements. I also understand that there are many who feel food stamp recipients abuse the program and don't deserve the benefit. Years ago when food stamps looked like play money, I was a divorced mom of 3 and got food stamps. And I was ashamed. I was finishing the last 2 years of college and considering dropping out to get a full time job. My social worker advised me to get my degree. He said food stamps were for people like me who just needed a helping hand for a bit. He said once I graduated and got a job with my degree, my taxes would quickly pay back what I got in food stamps and help fund the program plus so much more. Much more than any job I could get without the degree I listened to him, graduated, and in a few years was making in the mid $80,000 range. I am grateful that food stamps were there when I needed them for those 2 years. But I wasn't having more children or lounging around. Food stamps should be time limited for able bodied persons. And if you can't find a job you should be assigned volunteer work.
