It took me a long time to jump on the Bob’s Burgers television show bandwagon, and boy am I glad I did. The show is hilarious, wholesome, and a must-watch – I highly recommend. One of my favorite parts about this show are the subtle details. One of those things is Bob’s “Burger of the Day” menu, which never repeats. Honestly, some of these burgers sound amazing – some definitely weird. With over 200 episodes, there are actually around 149 burgers featured in the show. Can you imagine what it would be like to make some of his creations?

With The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers cookbook, we can now give Bob a run for his money! If you love burgers and the television show, this is definitely worth a look through!
I’m not going to lie – I thought this cookbook would be incredibly silly. But I’m finding out they take their burger making very seriously (just as Bob would have it.) The introduction is all about how to best prepare a burger. They are very, very thorough! It dives into what questions you should ask your local butcher to particular cuts and even how large you should make each patty. These tips may be basic, but they are useful! Especially for someone who might be unfamiliar to grilling.
I have to provide this little tidbit down below:
As you know, we here at Cookbook Divas love French fries. Learning how to make them perfectly at home would be a dream. The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers cookbook knows that fries are a necessary pairing for your burger! Clearly, it’s not as easy as it looks, because this whole page is just about preparing French fries.
Normally I would want a picture of every recipe, but I appreciate everything being drawn out. It makes this cookbook more fun and doesn’t take away from the cartoon. Plus we can immerse ourselves in Bob’s world and imagine sitting next to all our favorite characters eating burgers.
This cookbook has seventy-five incredible burgers of the day straight from the show. You’ll find some show classics like “Bleu is the Warmest Cheese Burger,” or the “Bruschetta-Bout-It Burger,” and “Sweaty Palms Burger” which Tina gives to her crush. If you want to know which episode each burger comes from, they happily provide the number right below the burger name.
The burgers are hysterical, but the recipes are super eccentric. They’ve done an amazing job varying up the flavors, but not overdoing it. Most of these recipes have ingredients you can find easily at your local grocery store.
The directions are really clear with some little quips throughout. Not enough to be distracting, but enough to feel like you’re interacting with a person (rather than a book.) A few of these made me laugh out loud. You will have a lot of fun making these burgers!
This The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers cookbook is coming out right before the new Bob’s Burgers movie is supposed to be released in April! Hopefully by then we can have a BBQ and serve up a few of these for parties.
Have you ever watched Bob’s Burgers? Maybe by cooking some of these tasty morsels, you’ll want to give the show a try. Take a look at The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers cookbook for some inspiration!
