What Season 3 of Bob's Burgers

Season 3 follows the Belchers, a family that runs a burger joint on Ocean Avenue in Seymour's Bay, a coastal town in New Jersey. Bob keeps the business going with more enthusiasm than resources, while battling his rival Jimmy Pesto, who has a pizzeria across the street. Problems come from all sides: a health inspection, a new inspector who replaces Hugo, and a forced stay on a cruise ship. The kids have their own storylines. Louise tries to get her bunny ears back, Tina dives into literary projects, and Gene goes through a complicated relationship with Courtney. Mr. Fischoeder, the building's owner, and Linda, with her talent for singing, round out the cast that drives every story.
