Andrew Brendmoen attended the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. Today, Andrew Brendmoen resides in Lakeland, Florida where he serves drinks as a bartender at Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill, a restaurant chain owned and operated by Darden Restaurants.
A multi-restaurant operator and management company, Darden Restaurants has been around since 1938 when founder Bill Darden launched The Green Frog in Waycross, Georgia. From there, Mr. Darden and his company went on to open more restaurants that would grow to be well-known national chains, including Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, and Yard House.
Among the restaurants created by Bill Darden, Red Lobster grew to become one of the most successful. The seafood restaurant, originally called Red Lobster Inn, first opened in Lakeland, Florida in 1968. Today the brand, which is now independent of Darden Restaurants, boasts over 700 locations nationwide.
Bill Darden passed away in 1994 but his company, based in Orlando, Florida, continues overseeing restaurants nationally. An executive leadership team and a board of directors carry on the goals of the Darden Restaurants company continuing to launch new restaurants across the country. In 1999, the company created Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill and opened the first location in Orlando, Florida. There are no 61 Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill locations.
