The Real-Life San Francisco Diner That Inspired Bob's Burgers
Did you know Bob’s Burgers has its roots in the Bay Area? Though the animated series is set on the East Coast, many of its defining elements were created in San Francisco. The theme song was written by creator Loren Bouchard, inspired by a drum and bass night at the nightclub below his 16th and Harrison Street apartment.
