Shoney's (Schauenbaums)was southern. Out east it was Bobs. Then Frischs.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-53008511922435502492010-04-29T07:09:53.790-04:002010-04-29T07:09:53.790-04:00Great post, Garce,

I really find that kind of focus and workmanship compelling -- when one focuses seriously on excelling at one's job, regardless of what the job is.<br /><br />I live in Maryland and went to what I seem to recall was a Shoney's once years ago. I don't actually know if it's still there, as I moved to a different area and haven't been back there in a while.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this! :)Emeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819037087504004841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-89447644842957912002010-04-28T17:53:32.008-04:002010-04-28T17:53:32.008-04:00A delight to read, thanks for the entertainment, m...A delight to read, thanks for the entertainment, my friend!<br />ReneeReneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-7455795451240968832010-04-28T17:33:15.666-04:002010-04-28T17:33:15.666-04:00LOL:)

I didn't get to Atlanta until '76:)<br /><br />The first vacation I remember was to Colorado in 1971. I was five. But we had a Frisch's Big Boy in my hometown, but I don't remember when it closed. The picture I have is from the early '80's, when we drove to Florida. Don't know what town it was in.Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-7073819204861572932010-04-28T16:01:52.291-04:002010-04-28T16:01:52.291-04:00Molly;

Maybe you came by my place in College Park 72-73.<br /><br />I never see any Shoney's around anymore. I think there's a couple out there but I don;t know where. I read in a book about the history of hamburgers that they don;t make Big Boy burgers anymore. That hurts. The Big Boy is the silent ancestor of the Big Mac. Shoney's hit on the idea of splitting a bun three ways so that you had this thin slice inbetween the two patties that caught all the juice from both and sort of brought it together. That's why they were so good, secret sauce and all.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-88496241387291992442010-04-28T15:58:50.583-04:002010-04-28T15:58:50.583-04:00Hi Paul!
