The “Bruschetta-bout It Burger” from Bob’s Burgers

Dave and I may be in our thirties (gulp), but we still enjoy the small pleasures in life that make us feel like kids again – like cartoons, and one in particular – Bob’s Burgers.  It’s a show on Fox that definitely requires a unique sense of humor, but after three seasons, we have really come to love it.  Bob and his wife Linda and their three kids Louise, Tina and Gene, own a small burger joint and they all play a hand in making it a successful business.  Their weekly antics are nothing short of hysterical with a hint of bizarre, sometimes airing on the side of inappropriate for an 8:30 Sunday night time slot.

But probably one of our favorite parts of the show is finding out what “Bob’s Daily Burger” is going to be from week to week.  Wacky names like the “Mesclun Around” burger and the “Girls Just Want to Have Fennel Burger”  make you laugh out loud when you read them, but they also lend some great ideas to experiment with different flavor combinations.  And whats a better time of year than summer to experiment with burgers?

So first up is my take on one of Bob’s weekly classics: The “Bruschetta-bout It Burger” – a juicy beef burger topped with Bruschetta and Mozzarella cheese.
