“# Bubba Gump Shrimp seafood restaurants will start accepting Bitcoin payments <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Many chain restaurants operated by parent company Landry’s will begin to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for meals.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CNBC yesterday, Landry’s chair and CEO Tilman Fertitta said<\/a> \u201c80% to 90%\u201d of the company\u2019s restaurant brands \u2014 including the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Morton\u2019s The Steakhouse, and Mastro\u2019s \u2014 would accept Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies in the next 90 days. Fertitta said the move was a step towards bringing crypto into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing how simple [a crypto] transaction is, and it is here to stay. This is where it is, and it\u2019s inevitable that this was going to happ<\/a>en,\u201d said the Landry\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n

The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, inspired by the 1994 film Forrest Gump<\/em> starring Tom Hanks, has more than 30 restaurant locations in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Canada, the Mariana Islands, and Qatar. Fertitta also owns a Luxury automobile retailer in Houston called Post Oak Motor Cars, which has been accepting BTC since 2018. <\/p>\n

Some high-profile food chains and restaurants are now\u00a0open to accepting Bitcoin, but the volatility of many cryptocurrencies may make it difficult to use as a reliable medium of exchange. The first\u00a0bar and restaurant to ever accept BTC as a form of payment \u2014\u00a0Room 77 in Germany \u2014 closed its doors in October\u00a0after more than ten years seemingly due to\u00a0restrictions from the pandemic.<\/p>\n
