Bob's Big Boy






When I was growing up it was fairly common to eat at a Bob's Big Boy, and I remember it being a rather nice experience overall. Though the last time I had Bob's Big Boy I think I was still a teenager or younger, and there hasn't been a Bobs Big Boy in my neighborhood since the early 90's, and even then I didn't eat there. I do remember their Blue Cheese salad dressing being really good though, which I imagine is the reason why they sell it commercially at most super markets. Though personally I don't like to spend 5 bucks on a jar of salad dressing that I know will only last me a week at most, irregardless of how good it is. Still it is always nice to have a little piece of one's childhood or to be reminded on ones childhood, especially the older one becomes. So many places I really enjoyed eating at as a kid, have since gone away, never to return. And not only does it make one feel incredible old, it is also really disheartening. Like tiny pieces of yourself have drifted away, never to be see or heard from again.


I still haven't tried the new Bob's Big Boy, and do not plan to til November at the earliest. I have too many tests this month as well as my trip to the Bay Area and the EEB in San Francisco. For until next month I will not have the time, plus I have seen a rather long line outside of the just opened one near me, or more precisely near my former university. Once I have gone there again though, I will make sure to right some sort of review as well as take a few pictures of what they currently have to offer. I just hope it still tastes like my childhood memories.
