Well, people dressing up as movie characters at the same movie isn’t terribly new but only Austinites would bother for Bob’s Burgers given how much support we residents and Alamo Drafthouse have provided! It was cool to see these people as secondary characters: landlord and eccentric, Mr. Fischoder and the kids’ “guidance” counselor Mr. Frond with his “help” puppet Repressed-Memory Emily. Obviously, the dude on the right is a different interpretation of Bob Belcher. There were no shortages of young women wearing Louise’s trademark ears.
The main element I definitely came for, after the snipe (that’s the technical term for the pre-show clips), all the special menu items pertaining to Bob’s Burgers. Quick aside, if you’re at another movie and you see this menu, you are allowed to order those items. Alamo didn’t disappoint! I had the Glazed & Infused Burger, a nice nod to the movie Dazed n’ Confused which we all know was shot in Austin. The waiter let me have the loaded fries as my side for a small uncharge, even better play on words given I love that part of Young Frankenstein. Should I get to see this again, I will shoot for the Back in Blackened Chicken despite Bob objecting against any other protein being served.
