After work, starved colleague, Benjamin & I walked to Bubba Gump for dinner as we didn't have proper food for the last 15hrs at work. During a casual conversation at work, we discovered we share a common hobby and he's planning to drive out in Anaheim to do some shooting. Without saying, I would follow suit. And we managed to get a few keen parties to join us. Yahoo! Am looking forward to exploring the Orange County the next day. After a hearty meal, we left Bubba Gump stuffed and satisfied :)

The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant and Market is a chain of seafood restaurants inspired by the 1994 film Forrest Gump. Launched in 1996 by Viacom Consumer Products (part of Viacom, which also owns Paramount Pictures, the distributor of Forrest Gump) and the Rusty Pelican Company. As of 2008, it had 22 locations in United States, 2 in Mexico, and 7 in eastern countries of Asia. The most famous restaurant is located at 1501 Broadway in Times Square, New York, NY in the Paramount Building. The first one opened up in Monterey, California. The restaurant is named after the movie's main characters Benjamin Bufford "Bubba" Blue and Forrest Gump, who were inspired to go into the shrimping business per Bubba's suggestion.

The menu consists mostly of shrimp dishes, but also other seafood, as well as Southern and Cajun cuisine, due to the main character Forrest coming from Alabama. On the company's menu, the company's CEO says (quoting from the movie) that "shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey'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. Th-that's about it."
