What Season 1 of Bob's Burgers

The season kicks off with the Belchers running a burger joint on Ocean Avenue in Seymour's Bay, a fictional coastal town in New Jersey.

Bob also drives a taxi to pay for Tina's birthday party, and she falls for her capoeira teacher. Meanwhile, Linda launches a bed & breakfast with some difficult guests. It's a family that dives into every job with more enthusiasm than resources.
