Pretty much. I mean part of his lack of success is caused by bad luck, but a lot of Bob's failures in life are his own fault. He's a great chef because he's extremely proud of his work and he refuses to compromise his values, and he's a terrible business man because he's extremely proud of his work and he refuses to compromise his values. His greatest strength is also his greatest weakness.

Yep. Like with the plaque, he refused it even though it would have probably brought people in, but Bob couldn't accept that people were coming because of some morbid story from the past rather than his food. He wants to succeed or fail on his own.

When I grill a burger at home, I always eat them with baked beans.

On topic, this episode was super good. Bob playing along was excellent.

I've been trying to find baked beans to make. I just failed at working at a healthy fast food place (it was too face paced and I would panic and make mistakes, or I was too slow and avoided mistakes) that had excellent baked beans that it got out of the bag. I've been trying to find something akin to that but all the grocery stores near me just have raw beans.

There was kind of an improv vibe to it, right? Every now and then one of the kids would tell a quick joke and Bob or someone would chuckle. I heard they still do that but I think it's much more scripted now.

Yea, but those recipes take forever.

My biggest problem early on with BB is that the first handful of shows were about is the "Restaurant going to close!???" plot, which is so cliche it was actually unfun to watch. At least that was broadcast order, i'm sure production order didn't have that.

Looks like it. 19 is a weird number to end a season on but that's probably because it's the 100th one.

Aww, the Bob & Louise emotional stuff always makes me tear up. Her admitting that Bob makes really good burgers got me like when she accidentally let it slip that she sees herself taking over the restaurant at some point.

Episodes that heavily involve Bob and Louise are some of my favorite ones. This last one, Hawk and Chick, and the museum episode are all great. I wish they'd do more of them... it's always nice to see Louise's cynicism melt away.

I think what makes it work really well, is that normally when shows do the, "Aww the really do love each other episodes," they tend go all sappy and sentimental. But on Bob's Burgers, Louise is willing to let her guard down for a moment and admit she admires her dad. Just don't quote her on that.

They are always great, because they feel like genuine moments on a ridiculous animated comedy. I don't wish they'd do more of them because I don't want it to get played out at become old hat.

I actually wish they'd use Gene more. He's the least developed character out of the family, and episodes that focus on him are usually great.

Gene is just Eugene Mirman as a cartoon 11-year-old. There's not much to develop from that.
