My incredibly sick obsession with..... BACON!

[MoonSylver]

It's funny you say that, because years and years ago, there used to be a chain of restaurants around here called "Bob's Big Boy" and they used to have an 'all you can eat' breakfast buffet. I went almost every sunday before my "sunday trip to the movies." My plan was simple: eat your money's worth in meat (in particular, bacon and sausage) on the first plate, then go back and eat the stuff like eggs, toast and the like - then save the pancakes for last since they will fill you up quicker than John Holmes fills up a porn stars'... well.. nevermind. Anyway, yeah, the look on people's faces when you walk away with nothing but a MASSIVE pile of bacon and sausage is indeed priceless. I'm sure they're thinking "what a glutton!" but screw them, I was gettin' what I paid for, dammit! All this talke of Bacon got someone's attention. Lou, your mistress called: ...she said assume the position. Give her this as a peace offering:

It's funny you say that, because years and years ago, there used to be a chain of restaurants around here called "Bob's Big Boy" and they used to have an 'all you can eat' breakfast buffet. Bob's Big Boy is still around. They're a California classic. A few years back the chain had bankruptcy reorganization and closed most of their locations, but there's still several in southern California, and bunch in Michigan for some reason.

A few years back the chain had bankruptcy reorganization and closed most of their locations, but there's still several in southern California, and bunch in Michigan for some reason. Awww man, I wish they were still around here. I have lots of fond memories of plates full of bacon and sausage in that place. -sigh-

It that the same thing as Frisch's Big Boy? I love that little fooker so much I've got a bank of him sitting on my dresser. Super Big Boy w/ bacon....mmmm....

[rongravy]

Dayumn that's alot more bun than burger, I don't like that kind of ratio. Where's the beef?

[Publius]

It that the same thing as Frisch's Big Boy? Yes. Bob's was the original, then Bob (Wian) decided to franchise the "Big Boy" concept to regional chains. I think Frisch's is the last big chain to use the "Big Boy" name, though there used to be others (Shoney's was originally a "Big Boy" chain, for example). Also, McDonald's Big Mac is a cheap ripoff of the signature Big Boy hamburger. The Big Boy was created in 1942. Jim Delligatti, the Pennsylvania McDonald's manager credited with inventing the Big Mac in the mid-'60s, managed a Bob's Big Boy in southern California in the '50s. I'm guessing In-N-Out's Double-Double was also based on the Big Boy, but I'll take the Double-Double in that matchup.

Dayumn that's alot more bun than burger, I don't like that kind of ratio. Where's the beef? There is NO WHERE NEAR enough bacon on that buger. Matter of fact, I don't see any at all! MOON! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Dayumn that's alot more bun than burger, I don't like that kind of ratio. Where's the beef? I probably didn't pick the most flattering pic. In real life the bun isn't that fluffy... There is NO WHERE NEAR enough bacon on that buger. Matter of fact, I don't see any at all! MOON! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! It doesn't come standard. But I ask & they put it on for me.

[LouCipherr]

It doesn't come standard. But I ask & they put it on for me. This is unacceptable in the BACON thread. I demand you go back, ask for a pile of bacon, then take a picture and post it.

lou, you can save this for next year: for real romance, add this along with the card: but i think you need one of these: and this "bacon viewing window" on this gummy bacon cracks me up:

[LouCipherr]

and this "bacon viewing window" on this gummy bacon cracks me up: HAH! That is awesome! "Is my gummy bacon more fatty or more meaty? Better check the window" Wait, let me rephrase that: it's awesome as long as the gummy bacon is bacon-flavored.

[MoonSylver]

This is unacceptable in the BACON thread. I demand you go back, ask for a pile of bacon, then take a picture and post it. Ok, since you asked so nice: But yer gonna need this afterwards...

OMG! A DANCING BACON STRIP! *right-clicks and saves for future use*

OMG! A DANCING BACON STRIP! *right-clicks and saves for future use* Yeah, I had a feeling you might like that little guy. I was tempted to ask Andy to add him to the emoticon list.
