That was the first restaurant I had minestrone soup at and it was with great disappointment later in life to discover "Bob's" was the only restaurant in the world to use lasagna noodles in their soup. True geniuses at work. It darkens my heart to hear it will not stand up in memory for me so I'll take a clue and never visit it again. Dreams of a cherished youth are great dreams indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-12618395310142762442010-06-10T17:42:50.441-04:002010-06-10T17:42:50.441-04:00I just had the Big Boy Combo at the Burbank store ...I just had the Big Boy Combo at the Burbank store and am happy to report that the burger recalled the old days to perfection.<br /><br />I ordered the salad with Blue Cheese dressing and it was fine.<br /><br />The fries on the other hand were inedible. They looked perfect on the plate (which, by the way, is far too small), toasty-brown and steaming, but they had the texture and flavor of cardboard, or maybe gypsum board.<br /><br />The burger was very tasty and satisfying though. I forgot that they use chow-chow sauce. Good stuff!<br />Thanks again for the inspiration Justin.Nosh Gnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903701073242931822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-48965418670899012162010-06-10T13:12:22.024-04:002010-06-10T13:12:22.024-04:00Nice bro.

I would definitely give that one a try.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-38530568286486122822010-06-10T12:07:40.434-04:002010-06-10T12:07:40.434-04:00This calls for a complete investimigation!

A friend of mine worked at the West Covina store in the early 70's (he was sent to Fresno for training to learn how to "build" Big Boys). We spent plenty of time at that Bob's, on Bob's dime thanks to my buddy.<br />The oldest remaing store is on Riverside Dr. in Toluca Lake (Burbank?). <br />I am compelled to go there today to see if this store has retained the quality of the original Big Boy.<br />This burger lover will be reporting back with his findings.Nosh Gnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903701073242931822noreply@blogger.com
