Bob Belcher is a third-generation restaurateur who runs Bob's Burgers with his loving wife and their three children. Bob believes his burgers speak for themselves and isn't afraid to offer a variety of off-beat creations. Bob's wife, Linda, supports his dream but is becoming sick of the slow times, as the restaurant is constantly in danger of going out of business. Despite the challenges, which includes consistent harassment from Linda's ex -- a health inspector -- Bob tries to keep the grill sizzling.

When Bob volunteers to cook Thanksgiving dinner for a retirement home, Louise gets stuck helping him on his most intense cooking day of the year; Gene and Tina try to help Zeke entertain the residents.

Susmita offers to help Tina with a photography class assignment; a woman who used to live in the Belchers' apartment comes for a visit.

After Gene breaks his favorite, extremely rare '70s era Christmas record, Tina and Louise join him in the search for another copy; Teddy wants to do a neighborhood Secret Santa with Bob and Linda.

Louise realizes the new plan for student evaluating teachers has shifted the power at school from teacher to student; Bob and Linda find they don't agree on where their final resting place should be.
