[Seth] So Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., huh? I heard they've got a legit Forrest Gump vibe going on. [Andy] You know, if you're not in the mood for Forrest Gump references, it's like being in a museum of quotes from the movie. [Akiva] And don't get me started on the license plates. How many times do we have to hear "Run, Forrest, run" before it stops feeling fresh? [Jorma] I bet they have the best shrimp ever though. You know how much we all love shrimp. [Seth] Oh yeah, and let's not forget about the butter-steak. Someone told me that was a standout dish. [Andy] I mean, if you can get past the Forrest Gump nonsense, it might be worth it for the food alone. [Akiva] But honestly, you'd think with a name like Bubba Gump, they would have a better service record. [Jorma] I had a friend who went there and said the waiter was kind of ignore-y. Like he didn't really care if you were there or not. [Seth] Yeah, but the food is supposed to make up for it, right? Kind of like Forrest himself. [Andy] Maybe they need to watch the movie again with their staff—maybe it'll jog their memory. [Akiva] Or maybe they should just hire a bunch of waiters who've seen all 12 hours of Forrest Gump. That might fix everything. [Jorma] And then there's the location—Times Square, right? I mean, it's got to be one of the worst places in NYC for a fancy meal.
