Red Lobster recently bolstered its offerings with the debut of two tasty new dishes: Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger and Bacon-Wrapped Sea Scallops.
Though Red Lobster is known for its seafood, bacon is the star ingredient of the brand's latest offerings. The new Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger features a grilled Wagyu beef patty topped with bacon, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted brioche bun. The burger is also served with your choice of side dish. A more surf and turf option is the new Bacon-Wrapped Sea Scallops appetizer, which consists of jumbo sea scallops wrapped in savory strips of bacon.
Both the new Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger and Bacon-Wrapped Sea Scallops are currently available from participating Red Lobster locations.
