My first Bubba...

Tech data: Canon EOS 300D, Sigma 17-35 mm f/2.8-4 EX
Location: Miami, FL - April 2004

It was seven years ago, during a walk on the waterfront in Miami that I discovered my first Bubba Gump. Just outside the store a bench, a pair of sneakers and a suitcase put there ​​specifically for a classic snapshot. My mind thinks at that stuff and understands that the name Bubba Gump ... is not by chance! The movie Forrest Gump has in fact inspired this restaurant chain and has become very popular, especially in the US. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company started in fiction as an idea between Benjamin Buford "Bubba" and Forrest Gump during their tour of duty in Vietnam, in which Bubba proposed the idea of going into business as shrimp boat fishermen. The main menu consists infact mostly of shrimp dishes and other seafood...by the way, if you are nearby...food is very good!
My visited Bubba locations so far: San Francisco, Santa Monica, Lahaina (Maui), Miami and Chicago...I hope to expand further my collection! :-)
