Darden Restaurants Inc. said it would separate itself from its Red Lobster business while halting expansion at Olive Garden and stopping acquisitions “for the foreseeable future.”

Darden said the Red Lobster move may take the form of a tax-free spinoff to shareholders or an outright sale.
The last time I went to Red Lobster, it was kind of a disappointment. And the last two times I’ve gone to Olive Garden, I’ve walked out before even getting a drink. Maybe this is what Red Lobster needs.
Obligatory: the all-you-can-eat crab legs story.
Obligatory 2: make your own cheddar biscuits at home.

Damn. Now I’m hungry.
Good thing the company potluck is today.
I think of Red Lobster/Olive Garden, etc. as one step above Taco Bell when it comes to quality food. But similar, in that Taco Bell is not real Mexican food.
Good-of-type, but no local hole-in-the-wall that gives you the real thing + quality service.
Don’t get me wrong, I like them, but they’re not as good as hyped.
