The Big Boy hamburger was the creation of Bob Wian in 1938 in Glendale California. It was named after a chubby young customer who swept up in exchange for burgers. Wian's operation grew into a chain of drive-ins so named "Bob's Big Boy." In 1947 began Franchising the Big Boy hamburger and concept to others. In 1951 Wian sold his second franchise to Chuck Shoenbaum in Charleston WV, the founder of Shoney's Big Boy. Shoenbaum in turn sub-franchised to the Boury brothers who in 1956 launched Elby's Big Boy in Wheeling WV. The Big Boy was tweaked over time. Also Frisch's version of the Big Boy uses tarter sauce in place of the mayonnaise/relish/thousand island dressing sauce used by Wian and Elby's. Further, when Elby's dropped Big Boy from their Ohio operations, they kept an "Elby's double deck hamburger" that simply used a different formula for the sauce.
So there are several answers as to when, but the best is 1938, though "Elby's" was still almost 20 years in the future.
Ironically Wian initially franchised to bolster trademark protection but the success of the Big Boy led to the ousting of Wian, trademark battles among the franchisees and eventually defections from Big Boy to allow continued growth. Many of the franchisees exist no longer, including Elby's. Wian's concept of quality and generosity, the excitement, has been lost. So has the waiting to be seated.
Greed.
