Are we dipping lobster in petroleum jelly now? Is this butter&#8217;s replacement? What&#8217;s happening?<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But no, thankfully, this is actually about date night, kissing, and buttery Cheddar Bay Biscuits, not rogue seafood condiments.

Honestly, in Times Square\u2014as a New Yorker, a location I&#8217;d say is arguably one of Earth&#8217;s most unhinged romantic backdrops\u2014it all kind of feels appropriate. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"red lobster vaseline\" title=\"red lobster vaseline\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1731\" height=\"1154\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/vaseline-x-red-lobster-69889e42941e7.jpg?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-10bgxwr e1geg53v2\">Red Lobster \/ Vaseline<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Couples who manage to snag a reservation get a five-course meal for two, starting with the classics before moving into Lobsterfest favorites like lobster flatbread, pasta au gratin, and a duo platter featuring lobster chops and a Maine lobster tail. Dessert is the chain&#8217;s famously rich Chocolate Wave Cake, with drinks themed around Vaseline&#8217;s Valentine\u2019s lip balms, including the UR Mint For Me Mojito, I Love U Berry Much Frozen Daiquiri, and Do U Accept This Ros\u00e9?
