"Forrest Gump's mama famously said that life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. The same holds true when it comes to opinions about the fried shrimp at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., the seafood chain inspired by "Forrest Gump," the classic 1994 film starring Tom Hanks. Unlike the movie, which was greeted with universal love, the restaurant's fried shrimp triggers a wide range of reactions online, from overwhelming enjoyment to flat-out disdain."
"Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. proudly states that it's "the only casual restaurant chain based on a motion picture property". The first location opened two years after the movie's release, in Monterey, California (and no, Tom Hanks had nothing to do with it). The seafood restaurant has since spread its wings, with 20 restaurants across America and 10 international locations, including Hong Kong, Bali, and Japan."
Opinions about the fried shrimp at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. vary widely, ranging from enthusiastic praise to strong dislike. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. bills itself as the only casual restaurant chain based on a motion picture property and opened its first location in Monterey, California two years after the 1994 film. Tom Hanks was not involved in founding the chain. The chain operates about 20 U.S. locations and 10 international restaurants in places such as Hong Kong, Bali, and Japan. Popular menu items include fried shrimp scampi, a Shrimper's Heaven tasting platter, and a jumbo shrimp cocktail.
