Red Lobster’s new CEO brought the seafood chain back from the brink of bankruptcy and he did it by reading customers’ comments.

Last month, Red Lobster launched its comeback menu with new crab-themed dishes, including table-side seafood boils, and it seems to be working.

Until September 14, seafood lovers may choose between the Mariner’s Boil, which features a Maine lobster tail, and the Sailor’s Boil, which features smoked sausage.

These boils can be enjoyed with a choice of three different seasonings, including Garlic Butter, Cajun Butter and Old Bay. The waiter shakes up the seasoning with the seafood in a bag right in front of the customers.

Damola Adamolekun, Red Lobster’s 36-year-old CEO, told ABC News’ Good Morning America Thursday, “We read the comments to see what people are saying. We try to react quickly to deliver what they want.”

"There was a group of people saying, 'We want more heat, more spice, more flavor options.' And within a week, we turned it around and added a spicy option, an extra spicy option, a new flavor, Old Bay and Parmesan, and Cajun sausage. And we did that within a week," the executive added.

Under the leadership of Adamolekun, Red Lobster has been successfully restructured following the company's bankruptcy filing in May 2024.

"Stand Up, Believe, & Keep Going"

 

VIOLA DAVIS on Instagram: "Posted @withregram • @mae_meite “You’re too athletic and not artistic enough. The only thing she knew what to do is jump.” For the longest time I believed those lies. Until I started to explore and embrace my unique artistry. I spent years analyzing and understanding what details I should work on, in order to become the artist I knew I could be on ice. A Final Capstone Choreography that is very personal ✨ I wanted to share a part of my story through that choreo. A story of pain, resilience and determination, to keep on going despite the hardships. Despite the loud silences of those who slowly stopped believing because the dream seemed impossible to reach. Despite it all, I still carry the light of hope that it will be all worth it, because the purpose is way bigger than myself. You just need to stand up, believe and keep on going. The past 12 weeks were the biggest blessing I could have asked for. Forever thankful to you @mcswain_kate & @gar
