50 Ways to Leave Your Guava Burger

When family night brings to light a deep divide between Linda and Louise, mom’s love goes into overload. The more Linda pulls, the more Louise pushes her away.

Linda goes nuclear with an all-day mother-daughter seminar at the Nurture Center, and has to bribe Louise throughout. However, the two do some serious bonding during an impromptu round of laser tag.

Meanwhile, Tina gives Bob one of his biggest parenting challenges yet: Getting her legs shaved. The result is a great father-daughter bonding experience at the local salon as both get their legs waxed.

Burger of the Day: 50 Ways to Leave Your Guava Burger

Review

The 50 Ways to Leave Your Guava Burger comes with bacon, lettuce, and a guava barbecue sauce. The sauce is made of tomato paste, guava jelly, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ground ginger, and rum.

This burger is a weird one. I’m always skeptical about a burger without cheese, but with this one it is the sauce. It is a stretch. Feels like it is trying too hard. And I understand the irony in saying this — this cookbook was created by the Bobs Burgers creator — but I just don’t see Bob sitting in the restaurant making this barbecue sauce. I think he’d smear some guava jelly on the underside of the top bun and call it a day.
