You want a chocolate?," says Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump in the 1994 Forrest Gump movie which earned for him his second consecutive Oscar.

However, these are not the lines that welcomed me when I recently met the "other" Forrest Gump and mascot-endorser of Bubba Gump Restaurant in Greenbelt 3, Makati City. Instead, I saw a warm, friendly man just like the famous Forrest in the movie.

His name is Steve Weber.

The very mention of the word brings an image in my head of those delicious, juicy critters, peeled, fat and bright pink, squeezing past my lips and straight down my throat. Yummy!
