Human error or bait-and-switch? Iconic shrimp restaurant caught selling farmed as wild

The restaurant chain made famous by the film 'Forrest Gump' is under fire after an exposé.

The restaurant chain, which operates 22 units in the United States and nine international outlets, was directly inspired by the 1994 film "Forrest Gump," whose characters operate a shrimp boat out of Alabama.
