    Fries and……gravy?! IMO fries should be hot, crispy and lightly salted. Gravy belongs on mashed potatoes. Is this a N Dak aberration?

    Big Boy Drive-Thru?! Is it the same as the Big Boys that have all gone out of business? If so, I want the hot fudge ice cream cake!!!!!

    Fries and gravy are a thing in Central New York! I’ve been eating them at the B’ville Diner for thirty years!

    The squirrels will NEVER have my fries (especially if they have gravy!) (My cats, on the other paw, do require a tribute.)

    I worked at the Big Boy in Bismarck. Fries and chicken gravy a real thing. Dipping a plain burger (flying style) is something I still crave. Try a Hot-n-Tot.

    Giving is more fun when the animal you give to cuddles the fry you just gave it, rolls over, then eats it rabbit-style (not speaking from experience.)

    You should have bought two orders of fries for the squirrels. That way, you could sit there and eat and watch them.

    Amanda:

    This is a cruel strip today. The closest thing we have to a Big Boy in this are is Shoney’s, and they have quit even using the Big Boy character on their kid’s menu. Of course we have a rich food heritage in Acadiana.
