How a screen burger becomes a recipe
Most burgers on screen are jokes or props, so a recipe starts with what the scene actually gives away: a name on a chalkboard, the layers visible in one frame, a line of dialogue about the sauce. Where a show published its own recipes, the folder follows them. The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book, edited by series creator Loren Bouchard and released in 2016, collects 75 Burgers of the Day that began on the fan blog The Bob’s Burger Experiment, and where the book and the episode disagree, the recipe says so.
A burger only gets a folder if it is really in the show: named in an episode, shown on screen, or tied to the show by the creator who cooked it. Some folders hold recipes written for this site. Others, such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Pulp Fiction, for now gather the best attempts by YouTube cooks, credited to their channels, until my version is written.
