Rooster in Review: Red Lobster Lover Joe is Real
Rooster in Review: Red Lobster Lover Joe is Real
One of Columbus Twitter's biggest mysteries is revealed.
One of my favorite accounts on Twitter is Red Lobster Lover Joe. It’s exactly what it sounds like. A Columbus, Ohio man travels to Red Lobster (usually on Georgesville Stroad) and posts his feasts on main:
The man has a dedicated Flickr page.
At some point, you begin to wonder… is this really a man who loves Red Lobster, or is it something more sinister? Sadly, in this day and age, you can’t rule out that a local franchisee turned over the social media keys to their depressed and ironic teenager. Remember Steak-ums? Jesus. No thanks.
However, The Rooster received two images in the inbox this afternoon that confirmed Red Lobster Lover Joe is exactly what he portrays himself to be: A man who loves the seafood franchise’s food.
I’m not publishing the pictures because he’s a private citizen, but this does motivate me to finally get off my ass and track him down and see if he’d agree to an interview. I gotta say the guy fascinates me.
This week in Ohio Man…
It was not another banner week for Ohio Man in his eternal crackpot schemes and struggles against law enforcement.
This week’s specimen stalked a B-List actor for 12 years, threatened her five-year-old daughter, and is now going to a cage for 40 months.
From David Rees of nbc4i.com:
LOS ANGELES (WCMH) — An Ohio man has been sentenced to prison in Los Angeles after he harassed a television actress and her daughter for 12 years.
From Heath, Ohio, James David Rogers, 58, was sentenced to 40 months in prison after stalking, threatening and harassing actress Eva LaRue for 12 years, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. Rogers was sentenced on two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications and two counts of stalking.
From March 2007 to November 2019, Rogers harassed LaRue, whose credits include “CSI: Miami” and “All My Children,” according to court documents. Rogers also made threatening remarks about LaRue’s daughter, who was 5 years old when he began stalking the pair.
I cannot imagine doing anything for 12 years, let alone stalking an actress from All My Children.
This week in The Rooster…
Only four dispatches this week due to Labor Day and company policy of refusing to work if the bankers don’t either:
Abortion Isn’t Hurting Nan Whaley’s Campaign. Contrary to what anti-abortion hobgoblins will tell you, Nan Whaley’s defense of abortion rights is not hurting her campaign. It’s only a question of how much it’s helping.
Jesus.. J.D. Vance Scheduled a Rally During an Ohio State Football Game. “Dude just doesn’t get it.”
A Sucker Punch Likely Killed My Friend. This week’s top dispatch is free for all. The title is self-explanatory.
Mike DeWine Hates Our Dead Troops. Our brave boys died in two wars against the British crown… only for Mike DeWine to bend the knee over 200 years later.

THOSE WMDs. Super hot sand can help us store green energy… The secret plan for the days after the Queen’s death… Dr. Armpit and the deodorant disrupters… Haggling for taxi prices worked in Siberia, and now it’s coming for the world… The curry trap: How a continent’s food got mashed into one word.
The image of Ohio farmers forming resistance militias against an invading army gives me warm feelings.
I cannot express strongly enough how badly I need to read an interview with Lobster Joe. The questions in my mind are endless
