Over 80 Planet Hollywood’s have been closed worldwide.  There are only 5 left.  The ESPN Zone, too, is down to just 5 operational locations.  The Fashion Cafe Chain, with supermodel investors like Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, has gone under completely.  The Rainforest Cafe has somehow managed to keep it’s hands on the wheel with 21 locations across the globe, but all of these franchises…all of them…pale in comparison to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. With a robust 31 locations, including two restaurants in both Japan and the Philippines, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company is a tribute to the endearing charm of the time-tested tradition of racism in this country. I mean, what’s better than the Po’ Boy of a dumb black character from a grossly overrated movie?
