(Interns, especially.)
Well, here I am at Mar-A-Lago, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone else around. Lots of coats on hooks, though. Door seems to be locked. Some music filtering in.

Shrimp
I like shrimp at holidays — to me they almost epitomize holidays. I’m planning to have some for New Year’s. So here are shrimp, rated worst to best:
- Shrimp …. raw. Uncooked.
- Cooked shrimp found on sidewalk.
- Shrimp … if you are allergic to seafood.
- Shrimp with both complete shell and legs attached. Peel and work for your morsel, slave!
- Shrimp with legs attached. (Tied: shrimp that the government funds to put on treadmills to see how fast they run.)
- Shrimp with either shell and/or legs, and no receptacle provided for their disposal. In your pants pocket is nasty.
- Shrimp scampi is nice, but you end up with a surplus of scampi — and again, scampi in your pants is nasty.
- They try to hide a morsel of shrimp in too much baked batter. Don’t order the fried shrimp. Or CornPop shrimp. That’s bad, dudes.
- Stuffed shrimp is very good, since they usually get the ratios right, and they use those Fred Flintstone–size shrimp.
- Shrimp cocktail. The very best. James Bond–level shrimp.

Dishonorable Mention:
Endless Shrimp Is Financially Ruining Red Lobster
Food and Wine | Stacey Leasca | 12/6/23Not every deal is a good deal.
Yes, you can, in fact, have too much of a good thing. And it appears Red Lobster is learning that the hard way.
In an earnings report call in early November, Ludovic Regis Henri Garnier, the CFO of Thai Union Group, which owns Red Lobster, announced that its Ultimate Endless Shrimp deal, which is normally a limited-time offer but was added to the daily menu in June, was exceedingly popular — so popular that it caused the restaurant chain to post an operating loss of more than $11 million in the third quarter of 2023.
“We knew the price was cheap, but the idea was to bring more traffic in the restaurants,” Garnier told investors, according to Restaurant Business. “So we wanted to boost our traffic, and it didn’t work.”
