says... Is Bubba Gumps any good, or just another tourist trap? Tourist trap. Head over the bridge to Mount Pleasant and go to the Wreck of the Richard and Charlene. Warning, no name on the place. It was recommended to us by a local that I knew, unbelievable food. http://www.wreckrc.com/ There's a LOT of tourist trap places in Charleston, but another good place to go right in the old city is Jestin's Kitchen. I go to Charleston every year for two weeks every year. http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=346 |

The owner had to tell more than one character that I was welcome there despite the pale skin;) |

Look for my autographed photo on the wall at Hyman's next time you visit Charleston. I had broiled Sword, scallops, and shrimp which were OK but IMHO the place was over rated. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error |

Down your way I hear they use 'people manure' on the crops. They tried to do that here with the 'sludge' from our new sewage processing plants but the townfolk got up in arms. Now it's used on city flowerbeds etc. |

But probably not a Bubba Gump there. Most likely COlorado. Bubba Gump now owned by Landry's Inc. Same ones who now own Claim Jumpers who they bought in Bankruptcy. Is a high volume, mid priced eatery. Not a high quality specialty place. Basically what lots of the chain restaurants are. |
