Welcome everyone out of the Woo here. I
0:04
am on a semi- major thoroughfare in
0:08
Burbank,
0:09
California. Evergreen Street is that
0:12
way. Alama Avenue is that way. Riverside
0:14
Drive is that way. The Hills of Burbank
0:17
over there. The Falcon Theater directly
0:20
in front of us. And you can kind of see
0:23
the Warner Brothers Studios which are
0:26
down there. See the WB? Do you remember
0:30
Anamaniacs? That cartoon when the
0:33
Animaniacs actually take over Warner
0:35
Brothers Studio and I think they
0:36
actually knock over the Warner Brothers
0:39
water tower. Well, that's the Warner
0:41
Brothers water tower. But this vlog is
0:44
not about Warner Brothers Studio. It's
0:46
about a restaurant that is actually
0:48
located very close to this proximity. So
0:51
close in fact that it's directly behind
0:53
me. I'm talking about the world's
0:55
oldest, not the oddest or the old list,
0:59
the oldest remaining Bob's Big
1:10
Boy. Bob's 49, home of the big
1:10
boy. Thought that guy was talking to me,
1:12
but he was actually on a cell phone
1:14
call. He said, "Can I speak to someone?"
1:15
I thought maybe he was trying to
1:17
actually have a conversation with me. I
1:18
think he's actually calling someone from
1:20
his phone. So Bob's Big Boy, which
1:23
actually has been here for a heck of a
1:26
long time. This place is actually
1:29
notable because a lot of famous people
1:31
ate here back in the day. A lot of movie
1:33
stars, including Peach Dragon's own
1:36
Mickey Rooney and a band that you might
1:38
know from England, the fantastic
1:42
Forsome, the Beatles, actually sat in
1:44
that booth right there. Right over
1:47
there. That's right. You can actually
1:49
look it up. I am not kidding. The
1:51
Beatles when they were on their US tour
1:53
ate right here at Bob's Big Boy. And
1:58
there's there's Bob's Big Boy himself
2:00
right there. People getting photos,
2:02
getting selfies in front of him. And
2:05
this fantastic sign, a piece of
2:07
basically a piece of architecture, Los
2:10
Angeles
2:11
history. Very, very cool. Now, there are
2:14
a lot of these all over the country, all
2:16
over the great US of A. Some states do
2:19
not actually have Bob's Bob's Big Boy,
2:21
but some do. I've eaten at a few of
2:23
them. I have not actually eaten at this
2:25
one. This would not be good for this
2:26
diet plan I am on because when I stop at
2:29
a Big Bob's Big Boy and go inside, the
2:32
first thing I'm going to want to do is
2:33
actually eat one of the original double
2:36
decker
2:37
hamburgers. And correct me if I am wrong
2:39
on this, but I think the mascot, the
2:42
little boy, kind of a little chubby
2:43
little boy, I think that started because
2:46
the story was that for free food, he
2:49
would do like some cleaning in the
2:50
restaurant and he would get free
2:52
hamburgers. So, he went from a slender
2:54
bill and started to gain a little weight
2:56
because when you eat double-decker
2:58
hamburgers constantly all day long, you
3:01
are probably going to put on a few
3:02
pounds. So, I am going to actually not
3:05
eat inside today. As much as I am
3:07
tempted to, as much as I want to, I've
3:08
got to stick to this diet plan that I
3:11
had been on. Doing very well on it. But
3:13
I wanted to show you this historical
3:15
landmark of Los Angeles history here in
3:18
Burbank. Bob's Big
3:21
Boy. And look at this. This looks super
3:23
familiar. You might actually remember
3:25
this. Also, if you're not familiar with
3:28
Bob's Big Boy, you might remember this
3:29
from the very first Austin Powers movie.
3:33
I think they actually blasted off in a
3:35
Bob's Big Boy. Kind of an homage to
3:38
Bob's Big Boy. And here's the plaque.
3:41
Big Boy. This restaurant was built in
3:43
1949 by locals Scott McDonald and Ward
3:47
Albert. It's the oldest remaining Bob's
3:49
family restaurant in America. It was
3:52
designated by respected architect Wayne
3:55
Mallister and the state of California
3:58
deemed this a point of historical
4:02
interest. Did I do the intro? It's my
4:04
second channel, daily vlog channel. It's
4:06
the Daily Woo and it's the Daily Bob's
4:10
Big Boy. The oldest remaining Bob's Big
4:14
Boy in existence. I think about 10 maybe
4:17
12 years before this location was
4:19
actually built was the start of Bob's
4:22
Big Boy and it was called something
4:24
else. Does anyone know what the name of
4:26
the restaurant chain was before the name
4:28
became Bob's Big Boy? If you do, feel
4:31
free to leave some comments down below.
4:33
But this is the last remnant, the oldest
4:36
remnant I should say, of Bob's Big Boy
4:39
history. Look at that fantastic hair and
4:42
that fantastic double decker burger.
4:46
Look at that. I just want to take a bite
4:48
out of it. Just want to take a bite out
4:50
of that cheese and that delicious bun.
4:54
Welcome to Bob's Big Boy. There you go.
4:58
Fantastic little Look at this. They even
5:00
have the marquee bee right there. And
5:03
you can see it's very busy. Everyone
5:05
eating their lunch inside. We do not
5:07
want to disturb them. Look up what I was
5:09
saying about the Beatles. Very
5:11
interesting that we're on they were on
5:12
their US tour. They ate in that booth
5:14
that I pointed out. Who else has eaten
5:16
here? I mentioned Mickey Rooney and I
5:18
think a few other celebrities from that
5:20
era ate in here back in the day because
5:23
we are currently right now in the mecca
5:25
of Hollywood studios all around this
5:29
area. I should get out of the road
5:30
before I get run over. I'm going to let
5:31
you guys go. Check down below for my
5:33
t-shirts. And please subscribe. And if
5:35
you do, I will see you tomorrow because
5:37
I am doing this unedited vlog. I have
5:39
not missed a day yet. We are continuing
5:41
on together vicariously. Love you guys.
5:45
See you.
