    I worked for him at P.F. Chang's corporate office and he was an incredible leader and person. Extremely personable while also commanding a ton of respect, and obviously incredibly intelligent too. Super cool guy, I wish him the very best.

    It seems there are a lot of people in the comments who are unsure of the timeline regarding Red Lobster filing for bankruptcy and this guy becoming CEO. Red Lobster was bought up by an investment firm in August and bankruptcy proceedings were cancelled. This guy was then hired to be the next CEO of Red Lobster. Since he was successful with running P.F. Chang's more than likely he was meant to revitalize the Red Lobster brand which is sorely needed.

    Reminder Red Lobster went bankrupt because a private equity company, Golden Gate, bought Red Lobster and forced them to sell the real estate to Golden Gate and charged Red Lobster above market rate to lease the land/building. They also forced Red Lobster to buy over priced sea food sold by a company Golden Gate owns. This is called asset-stripping and it's why Sears, Dollar Tree, and Toys R US went out of business.

    Those Cheddar Bays are the bomb! WOA.. the 8 miles may need some retooling as Dr. Kenneth Copper's book points out. No need to be running that much unless you are competing. The risk reward ratio is tilted to the side of injuries and for what. You can get the same benefit by switching five to six of those miles to the eliptical......the stationary bike or the rowing machine.
    Good work at RL.

    Both PF Chang's and Red Lobster are failing miserably... As impressive as his background is, he's a private equity guy. His goal in this role is to extract as much value as he can then sell it in pieces while leaving their employees broke and dry. If he's able to turn them around like how Cheesecake Factory is turning their business around and rewarding their shareholders, then I would be very impressed.
