when did the big boy burger come out
Big Boy Restaurants The novel hamburger started as a joke. In February 1937, members of an area big band, who were regular customers, visited Bob’s Pantry, one asking, "How about something different, something special?"[60] [emphasis added]. Bob Wian improvised, creating the first (then unnamed) Big Boy, intending the thing "look ridiculous, like a leaning tower".[60] Demand for "the special" soared but Wian sought a "snappy" name, which became Big Boy.[60][note 7] In 1938 the Big Boy hamburger cost 15¢.[62][63]
