have you ever wondered?

How much shrimp would I have to eat at Red Lobster's "Endless Shrimp for $15.99" promotion to make it a net financial loss for the restaurant?

Answer: I work at Red Lobster. I don't know the specifics anymore, but our discount is huge. A big savings comes from the fact that all the shrimp is farmed, peeled, and prepped in Asia. It comes to the stores already breaded or with the sauce frozen to the shrimp puck. The Mexicans just drop it in the grease...

So Basically like 200 shrimps minimum. doubt anyone other than Joey Chestnut can bankrupt a Red Lobster on this deal.

"the Mexicans just drop it in the grease" is priceless.
