Quote from the movie "Forrest Gump": "Bubba Gump Shrimp became a household name. We had a whole bunch of boats -- 12 Jennys -- a big warehouse, and even our own hat that said Bubba Gump on it. And we made more money than Davy Crockett." Source: The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Cookbook Typed by J. Matthews, Sept., 1995
