Attention, Red Lobster fans! Your favorite restaurant is launching a secret menu in collaboration with a famous rapper who took the late 80s by storm! Want a clue? He is the vocalist and hypeman of the hip-hop group Public Enemy.
Of course, we’re talking about Flavor Flav!
Red Lobster is collaborating with rapper Flavor Flav to release a special meal deal called Flavor Flav’ Faves. The platter features food items that the rapper has picked as his favorites: Main lobster tail, snow crab legs, garlic shrimp scampi, bacon mac and cheese, and your choice of side.
Note that this is a secret menu; you can only order it by asking the servers for its name.
Now that you’re informed don’t miss out on this special meal deal collaboration, as it is only available until further notice. Flavor Flav’ Faves starts at $39.99, depending on the location.
Behind The Collaboration
Flavor Flav collaborating with Red Lobster might be unexpected news for some of you. The reason behind this is that he just came back to commit to his vow to help the restaurant after they declared bankruptcy in May 2024. The rapper said he wanted to share some of his seafood favorites with fans to give it a try. Sara Bittorf, the Chief Experience Officer of Red Lobster, added that the brand collaboration is meant to show Flav’s passion for their food.

Last May, Flav also starred in Red Lobster’s Crabfest commercial during Crabfest season, where guests could crack into special deals and new release items featuring — yes, you’ve got that right — crabs!
With Crabfest, guests can dig in and order the Crab Your Way, which is a full pound of crab legs served with crispy potatoes on the side.
Red Lobster also introduced new food items to grace the Crabfest menu:
