I mosied over next door to the Golden Nugget tonight, down the escalator, hung a right and entered the weird world of Buba Gumps. Gee, what do you think this place is all about? I sat at the bar and ordered the Cajun Shrimp appetizer, with a happy hour cocktail, for $9.50 and I have to say, it hit the spot. There were little pieces of sausage mixed with the shrimp and some garlic bread to sop it up.
As I sat there and took pictures I remembered I’d been here before and had posted similar photos on the blog. Not sure if I had the shrimp. though, and I’m too lazy right now to search…
Did you ever see the movie “Forrest Gump” with Tom Hanks? In the movie there is a fellow, Bubba, from New Orleans in the army with Forrest, and his dream, once he gets out of the army, is to open a shrimp restaurant. He dies and Forrest decides to open the restaurant in memory of Bubba and he names it Bubba Gump’s. In the movie all they served was shrimp done in many different ways…
That’s it :-)
