A craphouse took over Bob's Big Boy here, and had a voting contest as to 
whether they should keep or ditch the Big Boy, and were embarrassed when 
the results came out overwhelming to keep him, since the plan was always

later.

JBs is horrible; they promise a hot entree on the buffet.  You want to 
know what they consider a hot entree?  MACARONI SALAD.  Under a heat 
lamp.
