Recently had lunch with a girl friend at the Burbank/Toluca Lake Bobs. 
Their renowned Car Hop Service has been re-introduced on Saturday and Sunday evenings and is always something different to do.

This Bob's restaurant was built in 1949 by local residents Scott MacDonald and Ward Albert, and is the oldest remaining BOB'S BIG BOY in America. It was designed by respected architect Wayne McAllister,  incorporating the 1940's transitional design of streamline modern style while anticipating the freeform 50's coffee shop architecture. The towering BOB's sign is an integral part of the building design and its most prominent feature. The restaurant was honored in 1993, receiving the designation as a "STATE POINT OF HISTORICAL INTEREST" by the state of California.  Read the remainder here

The Big Boy itself began with Bob Wian in Glendale, California. Bob sold his car for $350.00 and opened a small restaurant called Bob’s Pantry.

THE WIAN HOUSE - Glendale Historical Landmark #43 This estate was the childhood home of Robert Wian, founder of Bob's Big Boy. The property was also once owned by the Oscar winning screenwriter, Sterling
Silliphant.
