The Final Kraut Down

Episode: Moody Foodie (S2 E7)

Favorite Moment: When the "re-do" gets even more out of hand after the restauranteers kidnap a UPS employee.

Favorite Quote:

Reggie: I have been mapping the Moody Foodie's patterns for months. He follows a precise ethnic sequence in restaurants: Asian, European, Latin, American.

Gene: Like Larry King with his wives.

The Moody Foodie disguises himself with elaborate costumes... but he always has a tell: his blue handkerchief.

After a scathing review of Bob's Burgers, the Belchers devise a plan to have a "re-do" at the critics house.

Naturally chaos insues... and before long the critic and a postal worker are held hostage.

I chose this burger for the title, and in honor of Super Bowl LII. (Which if you are looking for a great Super Bowl themed episode watch: Easy Commercial, Easy Go-mmercial. Gene celebrates in his own way with a "super bowel")

The Super Bowl is happening in my city... like right now. Which is kinda exciting even though I don't really care about football.

I did a couple of things to participate this week. We drove through downtown... which took twice as long because there were tanks everywhere. Which was a super cool Hunger Games-y experience.

We also went to the Mall of America on Friday to see if we could spot any celebrities. Mostly we saw a lot of normal people.

There was this HUGE guy signing footballs, and I almost had him sign our baby... but then thought better of it.

The Final Kraut Down is a burger seated on a Kaiser roll, drenched in sauerkraut and caramelized onion, topped with dijon mustard.

I have only ever had sauerkraut on a Reuben... so I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, but it was delicious! I think it helped that the kraut was toned down a bit by the caramelized onion.

I have gotten a bit better around the kitchen in the last couple of weeks... and was able to finish all of the components at the same time without burning any of them... in under two hours mind you!

Here is a pic of me doing four things at once: mainaining adequate fry temperature, frying up some patties, sauteing sauerkraut, and taking a photo.

I've got mad skills.

Nothing can stop me.

Except the jar of sauerkraut I made my wife open because I was too weak.

Last week I had a series of mini(ish) meltdowns. But this burger turned out perfect.

My son, Teddy, gets excited now when I make some "Bob's Burgers" (which to him is the name of every burger)

We did not make it through the meal unscathed though. Teddy accidentally fell off his chair sending his burger flying across the room.

Score! Touchdown! (whatever other things people say in sports!)

Whichever team you are rooting for, whether it be the Eagles, Patriots, JT or the immortal legacy of Janet Jackson's exposed breast, remember to stop to have a super bowel.

Just as long as it is not during any commercials... cause... lets be real they are the best part.
