    I haven’t had a Big Boy burger since leaving the Midwest almost ten years ago. They put the Big Mac to shame.

    Too bad there isn’t a Big Boy’s here, if they’re even still around.

      What’s up with the “big boy” lingo? I’m from the Midwest originally but I’d never seen it used until I moved to LA.

      Your comment perplexed me enough that now I have to ask.

        It’s a chain restaurant that was founded in Glendale, CA and is headquartered in Warren, MI.

        Most of them are gone now.

          I must be confused because I see various places all with Big Boy in their name. I probably need to simply search the web for more information.

          Edit:

            If you like the Big Mac, give it a shot. Even if it doesn’t have the iconic Big Boy mascot out front, you’ll probably at least see the checkers.

            It’s just a classic diner style brand of good old American food.
