Chapter 739 What is a foodie?

"Huh? Why are we still at the beach?" Li Shenxing, who woke up, looked out the car window and became confused.

When Hyoly, who also looked out when he heard Lee Shenxing's words, he also found something was wrong. She pointed to a shop outside the car window and said, "Yes! Look at the cafe opposite, isn't it the cafe we ​​had just had afternoon tea!"

"I said you won't just drive here for an hour, right?" Li Shenxing looked at the director sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes looking at Kuroi Bing.

And Khari, the husband and wife, followed by a puzzled look. She really couldn't understand what the meaning of such a practice was.

"Ahem!" The director was a little embarrassed by their eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and endured the strange gazes of the two. "Originally, our next goal was from Korea City, but due to some emergencies, the restaurant we were going to was not open. After the production team held an emergency meeting, it decided to return to Santa Monica Beach, so today your dinner changed from barbecue to seafood meal."

After saying that, the director also looked like you made money, but when he saw that Lee Shenxing and Hyoly were not very enthusiastic about it, the director had to turn his head back in disappointment.

He forgot that for Lee Shenxing and Hyoly, who live in South Korea for many years, seafood is really not a rare thing.

"By the way, how do you calculate the task that only half completed just now?" At this time, Li Shenxing suddenly remembered the task they had escaped halfway.

"Of course that mission was not completed!" the director replied naturally.

Hyori was dissatisfied and defended: "How can it be considered that it was not completed? We are half completed."

"That's it! Director, you deny all our efforts at once, isn't it a bit inhumane?" Li Shenxing also stood up and safeguarded their interests with his wife. "Even if you can't get all the bonuses, you have to give us half of them!"

"Yes, we can't let our efforts be wasted."

"If you think it's too bad for talking about money, then..."

Hearing this, the director couldn't help but be attracted by Li Shenxing's words. As the "hostile" side, he must protect his own interests as much as possible.

"Then we will treat our dinner today, but we will not care about our affairs when paying the bill."

“…”

The mood suddenly fell to the bottom. After all, it wasn't that we were asking us to pay for it. The director curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but when he thought that today's purpose was actually to let the four couples come out to play, the task was simply an excuse, so he nodded and agreed to Li Shenxing's proposal.

"Yeah!" Li Shenxing excitedly celebrating with his wife.

It’s one thing to pay by yourself, and it’s another thing to ask the ‘enemy’ to pay, especially the ‘stingy’ director who is unwilling to do so but has to take out his wallet to pay, which makes Li Shenxing and Hyo-ri feel more accomplished.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." Li Shenxing said heroically. Regardless of the fact that it's still early to dinner time, he pulled Hyoly out of the car, and then took Luo Jun and VJ out of the car to the Babu Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant on the St. Monica Beach Pier.

Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant, full English name Bubba.Gump.Shrimp.Company.Restaurant.And.Market, is a seafood restaurant chain. The restaurant was inspired by the shrimp fleet named after Forrest Gump and his comrade-in-arms Babu in the Hollywood movie "Forrest Gump" which won the 67th Academy Award for Best Picture in 1994.

Two years after the movie was released, the Landry Catering Group in the United States obtained the license of Paramount Film and Television, and was allowed to use some trademarks, industry logos and copyrights of "Forrest Gump" to open the first Forrest Gump shrimp restaurant in Monterey, California.

It was the first themed restaurant developed from film and television works. Since then, Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant has been as successful as the movie "Forrest Gump". It not only expanded to other cities in the United States, but also went out of the United States and opened branches in Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong and other places.

Standing at the door, you can see a large sign of Forrest Gump shrimp. Anyone who has watched the movie knows that this sign is a logo designed by Forrest Gump when he started the Forrest Gump shrimp company. Many times Forrest Gump wears a baseball cap with this logo, and the entire restaurant is the movie "Forrest Gump".

The decoration outside the "Babu Forrest Gump" store is a classic scene of movie fans who are familiar with the opening of the movie. A bench with a travel suitcase on the bench, a box of chocolates tied with ribbons on it, and a pair of Nike running shoes were placed in front of the bench. He wore these shoes for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days and 16 hours, and a falling feather was stained on the dirty sneakers.

Although they have tasted it in various ‘Babu Forrest Gump Shrimp’ restaurants in the United States more than once, they finally felt that the taste of the Babu Forrest Gump Shrimp Shrimp on the Santa Monica Beach Pier is the most suitable for them, so every time they come here, they can’t help but sit on this bench together to take a photo as a souvenir. There is no way, the taste here is really something that can’t be eaten elsewhere, and even in the branch, the taste will be slightly different.

If you are lucky, you will meet Tom Hanks, the male lead who plays Forrest Gump, or someone who looks like him, sitting on the bench. Hehe, you don’t have to be shy at this time, just come forward and take a photo with him! This is specially arranged by the restaurant, to give extra surprises to the supporters who come to eat.

At the entrance of the restaurant, there are single tables where Forrest Gump practices table tennis, costumes and props for the characters in the movie, skirts that Forrest Gump wore when he was young, Jenny's guitar and robe when he was wandering, and white suits for Forrest Gump... Movie posters and props are posted everywhere on the walls of the restaurant, and the TV screen is playing Forrest Gump.

Walking into the restaurant, you can see the tables everywhere, and the walls are full of classic quotes of Forrest Gump. The most familiar one is the words that Forrest Gump always likes to say, "Lifeislike a box of chocolates...Youneverknowwhatyou'regoingtoget" Life is like a box of all kinds of chocolates, you never know what the next piece will taste.

There are blue and red table tennis match score signs on each table, with "Run.Forrest.Run" written on the blue. This sentence runs throughout the movie. Jenny shouted "Run.Forrest.Run" to Forrest Gump from childhood to adulthood. It has always inspired Forrest Gump to keep running forward, running into the baseball team, table tennis champion, Vietnam War, and all over the United States... When you want to order food or need service, just turn the sign to the red "Stop.Forrest.Stop", and the drink list looks like a table tennis racket.

Their group was lucky, and there was an empty space by the window where they could enjoy the sea. Without further ado, Li Shenxing hurriedly took everyone straight to the sky.

The ‘Babu Forrest Gump Shrimp’ restaurant mainly features Western cuisine, both shrimp-themed American cuisine mainly with Southern American and CAJUN flavors!

Forrest Gump shrimp, this is a must-order dish. Almost every table has a bucket. The hot shrimps are served. After the waiter serves them, they pour them down heroically. The rich juice mixed with the tender shrimp meat immediately spread on the newspaper. The backdrop is a specially printed newspaper. The newspaper is a clipping of Forrest Gump and his family’s life events. It is admirable. Every detail in the restaurant is carefully included in the theme culture of Forrest Gump movies.

Piglet bones, American secret piglet bones, very large. They are lightly removed with French fries and knife and fork. The meat mixed with rich sauce will automatically get rid of the bones. It tastes great with black pepper or BBQ sauce. Moreover, the fries here are more delicious than those in other places and will not feel greasy. It is simply delicious with tomato sauce!

Cheese and seafood paella, there are a lot of prawns in the paella, and the cheese tastes very thick. It tastes great with the taste of crumbled mushrooms and carrots!

There are five people in their group, so you can order the food in the store and don’t worry about not having to finish it. You should know that the food in American restaurants is very large.

Li Shenxing ordered spicy Forrest Gump shrimp, fries and fried shrimp, a hodgepodge platter, fresh shrimp Italian straight patterned floral powder, vegetable salad, fried shrimp balls. So many things should be enough for them to eat. If not enough, continue to order, but it would be bad if wasteful.

The waiters in the store were very enthusiastic and were very cute. They would interact with customers during meals, ask questions about the details of the movie, and give away small gifts. It was really interesting. Li Shenxing and Hyoly answered two questions correctly and received two small gifts that were given immediately, which were keychains and refrigerator stickers for the movie. The two of them liked this little gift very much. They played with it happily for a while before putting it in their bags.

How can a restaurant like this that not only has delicious food but also familiar with plot and movie elements not only let movie enthusiasts and foodies like Li Shenxing like him like?

According to Li Shenxing, he wished that his house was surrounded by such theme restaurants, so that he could taste different delicacies every day.

Haha! After all, it’s just for eating!

He is really a foodie!
