Frisch's New Burgers

          OK, first off, these burgers aren't actually new. They've been on the menu for a while but they are still advertised as new. Frisch's, if you don't know, is the oldest of the Big Boy franchise holders having actually become a part of the Big Boy family in 1946, 10 years after Bob's original restaurant was founded in California. The Frisch family has been in the restaurant business even longer than that. Samuel Frisch opened his first cafe in 1906 and the business has grown since then. They created the region's first drive-in restaurant and had multiple locations around the city during World War II.
           After WW II Frisch's became the place to be seen; if you were a teenager. Cruising Frisch's was almost a requirement for youngsters in their first cars. Today, Frisch's operates nearly 100 restaurants and franchises over 20 more. If you don't know where your local Frisch's is then you've been living under a rock but you can find them on line at: http://www.frischs.com/.

          Josh suggested that we stop in at Frisch's one afternoon when we were out and about picking up some necessities. It's always been one of our favorite places. Normally we order up our usual Super Big Boys but this time we decided to try the "new" Primetime burgers; a full third pound of "fresh handmade burgers with a taste all their own."
          We know that Frisch's isn't going to beat the best little joint burgers that we've found in our searches but we also know that it is going to be consistent. You know what you are going to get when you order up at any Frisch's location and, while not as good as a Zip's or Van Zandt's burger, it's going to be tasty.

          No, we weren't really disappointed with the Primetime Burger. It was about what we would expect from a Frisch's sandwich. It didn't, as advertised, have a taste all it's own. In fact, it tasted pretty much like those Super Big Boys of which we're so fond. We would suggest that you try these Primetime Burgers for yourself and make your own call. We liked them but they weren't special enough to make us jump in awe.
          It was a noble experiment on our part but the bottom line is that when we go back to Frisch's again, and we will, it will be to enjoy our usual Super Big Boy.
