"Best Burger" is the fifth episode of the fifth season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 72nd episode. It was written by Mike Benner and directed by Don MacKinnon. It aired on Fox in the United States on November 30, 2014.
Bob enters the first annual Best Burger competition at Wonder Wharf, hosted by Chuck Charles, where he competes against Jimmy Pesto and charismatic celebrity chef Skip Maroosh. The chefs have 20 minutes to cook their burger entries before they are judged by a panel. Skip's entry is the Pomegranate Green Chili Chutney Burger, Jimmy Pesto's is the Oregano Burger, and Bob's is the Bet It All On Black Garlic Burger, which uses an expensive, speciality ingredient: Korean black garlic. Bob is wracked with anxiety, questioning why he entered a competition he knows he will likely lose, and has to deal with constant jabs from Chuck, who still holds a grudge against him for getting him fired from his job as a morning talk show host. Things become worse when Bob realizes that the black garlic is not in their cooler. Bob entrusted Gene to pack it, but Gene became distracted and forgot it on the kitchen counter.
Bob sends Gene to retrieve it in time to prepare, but Linda sends Louise and Tina to ensure he does not mess up. At the restaurant, Gene smashes the black garlic into his shirt in a moment of distraction, rendering it unusable. They call Bob, who instructs the kids to go buy some at the specialty food store, Fig Jam, which is the only store that carries it. The kids are reluctant, because an earlier argument with the store owner, Ray, resulted in him banning them. Ray is willing to sell them the black garlic, but they cannot pay because Gene foolishly gave their money to a grifter. With no other options, Louise steals the black garlic and Ray chases them. The kids run into Mickey driving a pedicab, and jump into his coach with Ron, his passenger. As they ride to the wharf, Gene is shocked to learn from his sisters that everyone in the family view him as a screw up, to the point that his name is a common verb for losing focus and messing up: "Gene-ing out".
