So my homegirl Nicole and I were adventuring through San Francisco and had never been to Bubba Gump restaurant. It really was overrated just as most who have been there say, which was kind of a bummer but we still had fun. It's located on the upper level of Pier 39. The place is very Forrest Gump themed and they even do trivia at the table so you can win stuff. I havent seen the movie in almost 20 years so I didnt remember much of it unfortunately. The menu featured mostly seafood and shrimp dishes, and one of them was..... Shrimp Shack Mac and Cheese.
Review: The description below is quite accurate in just about what it is. The dish isn't overflowing as the photo suggests....
It was good if you like a baked skillet of breadcrumbs... Actually it wasn't that bad. It had alot of good flavor and the breadcrumbs served their purpose keeping it from getting watery. I've reviewed other macs such as the
Alchemy Market and Wine Bar Crab Mac and Cheese. They could have definitely balanced it out though as we had to brush some of the breadcrumbs out of the way.
Cheese: You could tell there was Cheddar and Jack in it, but the Parmesan they describe is just the grated type mixed in with the breadcrumbs just as any other breading is. It was more creamy than stringy.
Pasta: A regular elbow mac that held the cheese in well, but was a bit too small. Perhaps that's just because I prefer larger pasta.
Aftertaste: It had a shrimpy aftertaste to it, obviously, but was not too bad. You have to like shrimp to eat it, but you should probably like shrimp if you go to a place called Bubba Gump
Shrimp Co.
7-Minute test: We shared it so it didnt last too long, but I would figure it wouldn't keep well because of the seafood.
