Robert "Bob" Belcher Jr. is the main protagonist of the adult-animated sitcom Bob's Burgers created by Loren Bouchard for FOX. He is the often stressed, anxious patriarch[6] of the Belcher family and owner of his restaurant Bob's Burgers. He is known for being mild-mannered, pessimistic,[7] and a terrible businessman, often having financial struggles in keeping the restaurant running and paying rent. He has a rivalry with the Italian restaurant owner across the street, Jimmy Pesto, and quarrels with local health inspector Hugo. Bob is a third-generation restaurant owner, and by nature, loves his business and has big ideas for his different burgers (in particular, having a new "burger of the day" for multiple years).[8] He has a strong love for his family, including his wife Linda, and his children Louise, Gene, and Tina Belcher.[9][10]
