Best Cheeseburger on the Planet
A name that invites argument. It is a full-dressed cheeseburger on a grilled brioche bun: American cheese, tomato, red onion, pickles, shredded lettuce, mayo, mustard and red relish. The relish gives it a sweet tang that is very Big Boy. Big, fresh and a good modern counterpoint to the original double-decker.

About Big Boy
Bob Wian opened a small diner called Bob’s Pantry in Glendale, California, in 1936. A year later he invented a burger so tall it looked like a leaning tower, and when a chubby six-year-old named Richard Woodruff walked in, Wian greeted him with “Hello, Big Boy.” The name stuck, and the boy became one of America’s best-known restaurant mascots: pompadour, red-and-white checked overalls, burger held high.
About 50 Big Boy restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, Nevada and North Dakota, four Bob’s Big Boys in California, Frisch’s Big Boy in the Cincinnati area, and a separate Big Boy chain in Japan.
