    I’ve not seen a Big Boy restaurant in the US for decades. Now they expand to Thailand!

    Where are they gonna source the beef from?

    Surely itll be expensive if they dont use cardboard like Maccy Ds?

    White Castle should be the American joint to be fawning over as a overseas franchise - that is if one is into corporate commercial burgers.

    Americans take their burgers scared and seriously, this thread is a pathetic testament.

    Consider the trashy source.

    They were here in Thailand in the early '90s. I remember seeing one in Seacon Square.

    There was also a Wendy's in Siri Center.

    There's still a few around. Few and far between though. In my region they're now known as Frisch's Big Boy.

    The real thing is mostly in Michigan and a few in Cali.

    I'll bet Big Bobby in Koh Lanta nicked his "Bobby Big Boy" from somewhere...

    Not sure I fancy the look of the burger but I'll be at the 4th July thing at Patana. Give me a shout if you're going cssfan.

    I had no idea this was an actual thing.

    I had always just assumed it was a prop from the Austin Powers films.

    Yeah, it’s kind of bizarre yet banal at the same time.

    I only know of it from AP too.

    when I want a burger I go just down the road and get a burger which tastes like real ground beef and a bread roll with no added sugar for 80 baht

    being a fat cnut I also get a chicken and mushroom pie and have a beer while I wait

    This reminds me about the joke about children.

    Reading this thread, and others, I've gotta wonder why you don't give it back to people, CSF.

    The senile old fool can barely string a coherent sentence together, but you sit there silent. Same with LT when he was ripping you and you were pussyfooting around with your replies.

    Have they got something on you or something?

    I didn't know they were still around. There was one on Sukhumvit many moons ago that closed in the early nineties.
    I remember that they were famous for their double stacked burger that was a precursor to the Big Mac. They had great onion rings and shakes. More of a sit down type restaurant rather than a counter order fast food joint.

    Roger will be pleased and yes it's a decent burger made from ground beef from Makro but it's not in a class with any of the burgers from the better joints in the US.
