 ML> Do you use the clinic at the nearest dental college?

The nearest dental school is in Alton, IL - about two-and-one-half hours away
over some iffy roads (some good ones, too). So, I am going to use this place
called Affordable Dentistry in a town a mere half-hour away via I-72. Several
people I know have used their services and the kudos outweigh the curses about
eight to one.
 
 DD> Wow, I found a triple Burton recipe ...

 ML> I thought that a Burton recipe had to have red Zinfandel.

A Burton recipe *should* have red Zin. But, "doing a Burton" involves posting a
recipe that relates to something in the body or subject of the post. Sometimes
it is subtle other times it is as obvious as the tan on John Boner. A triple
Burton relates to the post in three different ways ... all somewhat different.

 ML> Is this Bob's Big Boy with the big-eyed pre-anime character
 ML> holding up a burger on a tray?

Bob's Big Boy is the left coast originator of the Big Boy brand ... and Mickey
D's Big Mac is a rip-off of the Big Boy Double Decker burger. The Big Boy chain
of which the big-eye fat boy in the checkered demon overalls is a registered
trademark - along with his girl friend Dolly and the mutt (whose name escapes
me) is currently headquartered at located at 1 Big Boy Dr. in Warren, MI 48091.

They do business in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, District
of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi,
North Carolina, National, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia. And Japan. 

But, not in Indiana, apparently, nor Wisconsin which seems to indicate that the
Marc's franchise has gone tits up. The Michigan franchisee is (or was) Elias
Bros - Azar's had some stores in northern Indiana. Shoney's in Tennessee,
Alabama, etc. began as a Big Boy franchisee - then formed their own similar
chain of restaurants. The one here went broke - more from management (and thus
quality/service) issues than anything.
 
 ML> Wonder if this was a case of the franchisee getting
 ML> some leeway as to what to offer, similar to the
 ML> KFC in YK getting to serve burgers.

In my experience Big Boy stores are allowed to tailor their seasonal and
regional offerings so long as they stick with the "official" mainstays that all
Big Boys offer. Even there some variety is allowed - with Bob's on the left
coast putting a red chilli sauce on the Big Boy whereas the Midwest Big Boys
use something more akin to Thousand Island dressing (a la the Big Mac).

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Big Boy Hamburger & Sauce
 Categories: Sandwiches, Beef, Breads, Sauces
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 c  Shredded lettuce
      8    Jumbo sesame seed buns
      1 lb Ground chuck
           Salt
      4 sl American cheese

MMMMM-----------------------BIG BOY SAUCE----------------------------
      2 ts Water
      2 tb Sweet pickle relish
    1/4 c  Mayonnaise
      2 tb Ketchup
 
  How to Make Big Boy Sauce: This is really easy just combine
  the relish, mayonnaise,water and ketchup. That's your big
  boy sauce
  
  How to Make A Big Boy Burger: On waxed paper form the beef
  into eight equal sized, round patties about 4" in diameter.
  
  Discard the top half of four of the eight buns. Now toast
  the the buns until golden. The extra bottom, is your middle
  bun.
  
  After the buns are toasted, now grill your beef patties and
  salt liberally. Cook for about two minutes, then turn and
  add another sprinkle of salt. Cook for about another two
  minutes.
  
  Now dress your Big Boy buns while the beef is cooking. Put
  half the sauce on the toasted bottom, and the other half on
  the middle, adding 1/8 cup of lettuce to each. The slice of
  cheese goes on top of the lettuce on the true bottom bun.
  
  When the beef patty is cooked, drain excess fat by tilting
  the patty to the side while holding it to the spatula with
  your free hand. Put one patty on each dressed bun, stack the
  center, non-cheese patty/bun on top of the bottom cheese
  patty/bun. Finish by placing the toasted crowns on top.
