Bill's Big Burgers

Bill's Big Burgers or BBB was a popular Glendale, California diner in the early 1950s. The mascot was "Bill" a fiberglass sculpture with amazing hair and dressed in green and white checked shirt and shorts. He clutched an enormous hamburger in his right fist and malt in his left. In addition to various burgers, fried chicken was also available. Customers could park and be served by carhops dress similarly to the mascot rather than go into the restaurant.

Aaron and Ruth Finch frequented the restaurant and sometimes brought their toddler son with them. One evening in April, 1951, the couple left their son at home and stopped at the BBB before going to see a movie.
