History Bob's Big Boy Broiler Opens In Downey!

Well it looks that way. Pulled into the old Foxy's now known as Downey Brewing Co. since they have beer also. But I wasn't there for the beer, just pulled in there while I was being pulled over .

 

We all used to take our cars down to the Big Boy in Burbank and meet and hang out on Friday nights in the 50's. Good folks, very nice cars and some good times to be had by all. The Burbank cops used to join us for coffee on the house of course.

Norm, back in the early 90's the Toluca Lake Bob's was endangered by a proposed hi-rise. Car guys and preservationists united to save the historic site, which to this day still exists and has a highly successful cruise night Fridays, much like our Wednesdays at the former Harvey's, now Bob's Big Boy Broiler that Adriene, myself and so many others worked to save...which brings us to our present topic of thanking all those who attended last eve's cruise nite which was spectacular!! Thanks to all who came out for a fun evening! Remember if you park under the canopy -- and who wouldn't want to?! -- please use our drive-in/carhop service as Angie's great on wheels and will be sure to bring you your meal-on-wheels ;-)

 

Yesterday I ran into Angelyne, Queen of the Hollywood Billboard. Maybe she'll be stopping by Bob's Broiler in her hot pink Corvette soon Sending a pic to Mazooma to post.

 

Read above....

Great cruise, Kevin--the guys sure were impressed with the caliber and assortment of cars. They had a blast being served by a real carhop (thanks Angie!) at a real drive-in (thanks for giving us Heaven, Jim & Lindsey!). Everyone had fun watching "Cannonball Run" (we appreciate you driving all the way out from the San Fernando Valley with your truck and big screen, Kirby!). It was good to see Skeeter, Brett, Frank from Murphy's Auto Museum in Oxnard, and Dave from SoCalCarCulture.com (who drove all the way out from Mission Viejo). You guys are GREAT--come visit us again soon!!

 

You're Welcome Miss A. ,
Especially Skeet and the Gang coming in from 1k OAKS and Dave from S.C. Lots of good people there as always and very good cars....
Looking forward to Weds nite cruise and even Bedlam. Broilers and Crusaders will be working it this coming Sat, so come on out and have some Broiler Chow.
Hope ta see ya there.

 

Very Cool Cruise Nite! A shout out to the Trompers for coming on out and suporting our Broiler . And another shout out to The Chopit Clan for bringing the Merc on down.(Mind you, they do killer work!)
Last Saturdays show worked out great! We hope ta have others like that in the future. Thank you to all that came on out in the HEAT!.

 

^^^^^Cut out early last night while you guys made your way in. Not feeling up to speed and hit the bed early. Have the plans been set out for the Broilers 2nd Birthday Party? Count me in to help.

 

Tonite's Cruise Nite @ The Broiler, How many HAMBers are gonna make it out?
It's been nearly 2yrs since we Re-Openned The Broiler, It's time to plan it's 2nd birthday! Lets put something together . (See J.G., I'm listening to ya!)
C'mon down!

 

Damn Kevin if it's been nearly 2 years since the broiler reopened, then it's been 2 years since we cruised LA's hot rod spots together.

I cannot wait til June 2012, when I get to go back to the broiler again

 

Can you believe it Mark? And you were there in a non-finished restaurant! Eating Cookies and Sandwiches. Can't wait till you're back in town for some cruisin in 64c .
C-ya in June!

 

Me too Kevin, I cannot wait. Trouble is if I go cruising around town in the 64 C roadster, I'll have a real hard time getting it out of my system, and I'll end up being deePly indebted to brookville for one of their finest bodies to encase the 12 port I just bought 

 

Sounds sweet

 

This comes to mind........"Can you hear me now"
