"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it," said Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue in the Oscar winner film Forrest Gump. The founders of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co was inspired by the movie's characters, Benjamin and Forrest, whom are very naive, kind, loving, and passionate. In the movie, Forrest Gump pursued the idea of opening up shrimp business after Bubba, who had suggested the idea to Forrest, dies in Vietnam War.
Pleasant ambience and casually styled interiors make guests comfortable. For those who enjoyed Forest Comp movies, the restaurant is even more interesting and gives a sense of familiarity. Quotes from the movie are written on each table, making visitors to the restaurant smile reminding them with bits of the movie.
Some menu items are also inspired from the movie such as Run Across American Sampler, Bubba's Far Out Dip, and Jenny's Cath With Lobster Butter Sauce. You can get any shrimp dishes you can think of at Bubba Gump. For shrimp lovers, this restaurant is heaven to them.
