Red Lobster Giveaway + My Wood-Fire Grill Experience!

Last week I had the opportunity to visit Red Lobster to try out their Wood-Fire Grill menu. It was the perfect way to kick off summer, and as you can see from the pictures below, it was absolutely delicious!

Not only was it a very tasty meal, but it was also pretty healthy too. I thought that the portion sizes were perfect and I left feeling satisfied, but not over-stuffed – which is always nice.

If you are a local reader, you might be interested to know that Justin Coy, from the Red Lobster at 9067 Westview Road in Littleton, was one of the finalists (out of 3,600) in this year’s national Red Lobster Grill Master Challenge!

Below are a few of his insider grilling tips:

-Know the Hot Spots. For even cooking, place thicker foods at the center of the grill, smaller pieces toward the edges and leave one inch of space between each piece of food.

-Keep Proteins Lean. Select healthy, lean proteins to throw on the grill. By using leaner proteins it’s a virtual guarantee against flame flare-ups and makes cleanup easier.

-Check the Clock. Steak, fish and chicken do not have to be grilled at different temperatures, but do have to be grilled for different times. Grilling time averages per side: four minutes for steak, five minutes for fish and six to seven minutes for chicken.

Red Lobster has also provided me with a $20 gift card to give away to one Bargain Blessings reader! Here are your options for entering this giveaway:

So maybe this disqualifies me, but I have to vote for Wood Fire Grilled Salmon! I had this at the Greeley Red Lobster and it changed my mind about Salmon! I never liked Salmon before but I try it often because it is soooo good for you and I keep hoping that I will find some that I will like. Whatever they use to season it was amazing! I look for it on the menu every time I go, hoping they will bring it back again soon!
