It would be a double turkey, cheese burger with cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, ketchup and mayo. It would be called, Bob's Where's the Beef? Burger.

What's your favorite childhood memory?

I loved when my Dad would make us tea and toast. He would toast loaf after loaf and serve the toast with peanut butter, pb&j, just jelly, melted butter or cinnamon. It was so warm and comforting. Especially on a cold winter morning.
