22 Reasons Linda Belcher is Your Alter Ego in the Kitchen

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at F and M chapter.

Any viewer of Bob’s Burgers is familiar with the hilarious members of the Belcher family. Bob may have a handle on burger puns and toilet turkeys, but when it comes to the real star of the kitchen, Linda takes the cake.

And chances are, if you’re as much of a lover of alcohol and ridiculousness, you have your own inner Linda waiting to dance her way out. Here are a few ways to know if you exude Linda Belcher:

1. Any recipe begins with a corkscrew and a bottle of pinot.
