*Red Lobster has introduced a signature meal in honor of Flavor Flav after the hip-hop icon rallied support for the seafood chain following its bankruptcy filing in May.
In June, Flav revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that he visited a Red Lobster location and seemingly purchased everything on the menu. The Public Enemy hypeman shared a photo of himself and two tables full of food. He captioned the photo: “Ya boy meant it when I said I was gonna do anything and everything to help @redlobster and save the cheddar bay biscuits.”
“Ordered the whole menu,” he added.
In response, Red Lobster recently announced the new Flavor Flav’s Faves meal. As Vibe reports, it consists of Maine Lobster Tail, Snow Crab Legs, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Bacon Mac & Cheese, and a choice of a side.
“As a long-time Red Lobster fan, I’m fired up to bring a little bit of my own flavor to fans with a meal featuring my seafood favorites,” Flav said of the collaboration. “You gotta get to Red Lobster and give it a try because this signature meal is hype, boy!”

Meanwhile, Red Lobster filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May after shutting down dozens of restaurants, according to the Associated Press.
In a statement, Red Lobster said it would “drive operational improvements, simplify the business through a reduction in locations, and pursue a sale of substantially all of its assets as a going concern.”

The restaurant chain “has entered into a stalking horse purchase agreement pursuant to which Red Lobster will sell its business to an entity formed and controlled by its existing term lenders,” per the statement via PEOPLE.
“This restructuring is the best path forward for Red Lobster,” CEO Jonathan Tibus said. “It allows us to address several financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and re-focused on our growth.”
“The support we’ve received from our lenders and vendors will help ensure that we can complete the sale process quickly and efficiently while remaining focused on our employees and guests,” he added.
