Who owns Big Boy?


Frisch's now owns the "Big Boy" name in a defined four state region, and Azar's and Bob's are licensed by Frisch's Big Boy and Big Boy Restaurants International, respectively. Many of the other former franchise owners (Shoney's, particularly) have expanded into the former territories of other franchise holders.

When was the big boy invented?


Big Boy was started as Bob's Pantry in 1936 by Bob Wian in Glendale, California, USA. The restaurant became known as "Bob's, Home of the Big Boy Hamburger" then as Bob's Big Boy.

What came first the Big Boy or Big Mac?


The Big Boy hamburger was the first of the double-decker hamburgers. McDonald'sBig Mac, the worlds best-known burger that came more than 30 years later, was inspired by Bob Wians original creation.



Never the less, RIP Jim Delligati. I've eaten 10 times as many Big Macs as I have Big Boys.

It says I have to subscribe to the WSJ or sign in. Are you able just to click on the link, and read to whole article?

I found it on the Telegraph; it was an interesting read, and I found another link, and will start a different thread.

Thanks, Ron; it was supposed to be a link to a story in the Wall street Journal...
I don't know what happened along the way. :dontknow:
