Where's Bubba??

During our evening adventure to Hancock Observatory in Chicago, we headed over to Navy Pier and the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant. I always wondered what the tie in with the Forrest Gump movie and this restaurant chain was? Well it took me taking this photograph and posting it here to look at the history of it. It would appear that Paramount Pictures partnered with a restaurateur, to create the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. making full use of the Forrest Gump movie back in 1995. The food was good and so was the atmosphere. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article about the restaurant chain.
