How to Make Bob's Big Boy Hamburger Sauce: The Secret Burger Sauce Recipe

By


Bob's Big Boy Burgers

When I was growing up, a special treat was a burger at Bob's Big Boy. It is still one of my favorite memories from my childhood. Unfortunately, Bob's Big Boy closed, and took their burgers with them. After searching and testing recipes for their hamburger sauce, I've finally found one that is just as good as the real thing. Get some sesame seed buns, burger patties, cheese, lettuce and onions, make up a batch of the sauce and dig in!

Bob's Big Boy in Burbank 2 years ago

I found this site that talks about historic Bob's Big Boy in Burbank which is celebrating their 60th year! Apparently, they have just gone solar too. What a great idea especially being located in California where the sun is an everyday occurence. Anyway, I thought it was so great to see a business actually going something positive.

What's the "T" Tablespoon or teaspoon? I'm guessing tablespoon, if so it should read "tbsp" instead of just "T". Just sayin ... a little clarity would go a long ways here.

John Gregg Sr.: You're right, it is tablespoon. Thanks for the heads up. Fixed.

I found a place in Milwaukee that serves the "Original Big Boy Hamburger" with french fries and a "Wedge" of lettuce; just like old times. However, they used thousand island dressing on the burger and lettuce, not the original sauce. It was okay but not the original flavor as I remember it. I'll try your recipe. Thanks...
