Flavor Flav Gets His Own Signature Meal at Red Lobster: 'My Fave Dishes'

Flavor Flav is doing everything she can to make sure Red Lobster survives its financial woes. Rapper Public Enemy has teamed up with the seafood chain for his own meal.

Red Lobster announced the launch of Flavor Flav's Faves on Monday (July 1), featuring all the New Yorker must-haves when ordering at the restaurant. Handpicked by Flav himself, the off-menu Faves order includes Maine lobster tail, snow crab legs, garlic shrimp scampi and a bacon mac and cheese plus a choice of any side.

Once Flavor Flav got word that Red Lobster had applied bankruptcy protection in May, he launched into action. Flav actually ordered every item on the dinner menu to feed him and his family one night in June.

“Ya boy said he'd do anything to help Red Lobster and save Cheddar Bay Biscuits, he ordered the whole menu,” he captioned a photo of his Instagram spread in June.

About a week later, conversations were productive enough between Flav and RL that he starred in a Crab Your Way campaign ad. In celebration of Crabfest, Flav voices the ad announcing the launch of the new Cajun Butter and Baked Garlic Butter flavors.

According to Associated Press, Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy in May after closing dozens of locations across the United States. However, the chain has vowed to continue operating its 600 restaurants, seeking discounts.

“This restructuring is the best course for Red Lobster. It allows us to address many financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and refocus on our growth,” the company's CEO Jonathan Tibus said at the time.

It's a busy summer for Flavor Flav, who also serves as an ambassador for the US women's and men's water polo teams as they prepare to head to Paris for the 2024 Olympics. Flav signed a five-year sponsorship deal and contributed to the women's Olympic team .

Flavor Flav was inspired by a post from women's water polo captain Maggie Steffens seeking financial help for the team, and that's when the rapper stepped in. Steffens and Flav joined CBS Mornings on Monday (July 1) to officially announce the sponsorship deal.

“These women out here, first of all, the women's water polo team out here busting their butts to make the United States look good. And they're chasing that dream, you know what I'm saying? And I found out they got three gold medals back to back,” he said. Flav added that he didn't know much about water polo, but he learned about the team's history through his manager and wanted to help out as their hype.
