Shrimp in a bag, Boiling Lobster, Krusty Krab and restaurants like it are pretty obvious imitations of the Coiling Brab.(see what I did there?)
I've been all over this great land we call southern California, and have eaten at many of these 'Seafood in a Bag' kind of restaurants. So much so, that I have compiled a Field Guide if you will to these kind of seafood shacks that seem to be popping up like Subways.
In my travels I have come across many factors that can set these restaurants apart from eachother. For the sake of time and because my own field guide is making me hungry, i picked out a couple of factors that the Imitation Crabs should consider if they want to become more popular
It seems like there are 3 things that can help these newcomers become more like the Coiling Brab.
- The Sauce. William Hung might ask "Is your sauce She-Bangy enough?" Of all the places i've been to, there's just something different and I guess I would have to say magical, about Coiling Brabs sauce.
- Size Matters. While I think 3.5 inches is pretty big. I've known some girls that want it bigger. It seems that the size of the shrimp is a big factor when it comes liking and returning to said restaurant. Case in point, Coiling Brab still has the biggest shrimp. Size matters. So does Family. (get it? No? Damn.)
- The Waiting Game No one likes to wait... Actually we do. People outside of Coiling Brab complain so much about that wait, but would they be there if there was no wait? Hell No. We Californians love to build hype and be apart of it no matter what you say. You wait at Pinks? You Wait at Kogi? You wait at Costco for the mini pizza lady but then let the salad dressing lady be all by herself? If you answered Yes to any of those congrats, want to go to Coiling Brab?
Although I'm sure there are many more factors to help these guys out that don't include mirroring every technique the Coiling Brab uses, the fact is I don't care. I like the Coiling Brab.
Though I understand the need for an identity in literal a sea of other crabs, I can't help but think of the idiom of imitation.
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." - Some fucking Guy
Do yourselves a favor and flatter the shit out of Coiling Brab.
**I call them like I eat them. **
Everyone else side-step your Crab game up
