What Happened to Bob’s Big Boy?
Bob’s Big Boy announced today that they’ve brought back the “Super Slim Jim”, a ham, swiss sandwich, witht their “special sauce”, on a grecian roll.
Here in Southern California, there are some Bob’s Big Boy restaurants still around, but not many. There used to be just many Bob’s as there were Denny’s here in the Southland. But then one-by-one, they all went away.
I know just a few of them are still here.
There’s one in Baker, CA, which took over the old “Bun Boy”. But this Bob’s is nothing like the old Bob’s. You set foot in there, and it feels like a “fake Bob’s”. The Big Boy statue may be outside, but the restaurant doesn’t have that genuine Bob’s feel to it. About the only menu item that has carried over from those glory days is that “Big Boy” double decker burger.
My wife and I used to go to Bob’s in Laguna Hills for their breakfast buffet. I always found their bacon to be the way I like it, soft and dripping with oil. Let that oil drip down over the hash browns. Their hash browns was also the way I liked it, soft.
I just got news that a Bob’s Big Boy is coming to Temecula, CA, just about 20 minutes from my home. It’s taking over the old Ritchie’s Diner. I’m sure my wife will be setting up a new home-away-from-home in there.
