In a small town on Long Island, New Jersey, you'd think the Belchers would love being Restaraunt Owners, right? Well, it ain't as easy as it seems.
Bob's Burgers is located in a green two-story building that features an apartment on the second floor where the Belcher family lives. The restaurant is sandwiched between two other commercial buildings, one of which houses "It's Your Funeral Home and Crematorium".
Bob's Burgers has a few regulars – most frequently Mort from the neighboring crematorium and handyman Teddy. The restaurant has to compete with several other local eateries for business. His biggest rival is Jimmy Pesto, who owns an Italian restaurant called "Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria", which is located directly across the street and is generally more successful, creating tension between the two owners.
As well as assisting in the restaurant, the Belcher children all attend Wagstaff school. And the school is full of whacky and quirky students that only Mr. Fround could put up with. Ranging from Zeke and Jimmy Jr's wrestling antics to Tammy and Jocelyn gossiping, you could say that the school is more than just a Regular School.
But as for Wagstaff, no matter how hard the staff tries to get things in order, they've always had to be second fiddle, underfunded and considered inferior compared to their rival school, Willwood Public School. Whether it's because of the Students, funds, or anything else, Willwood has always been one step ahead.
But little did they know, Wagstaff would have the last laugh against them, thanks to Gene Belcher.
