Food Truckin' is the fifth episode of the second season of Bob's Burgers. It aired on the Fox network on April 15, 2012.

Plot

Numerous food trucks are parking on the street in front of the restaurant, stealing the customers. After several failed attempts to make the trucks leave, Bob ends up buying a food truck of his own. Teddy fixes up the truck, warning Bob that the grill cannot be on at the same time as the truck or it could result in a massive fireball. Gene proceeds to destroy the truck this way, and Teddy fixes it up again. Bob and the kids work from inside the truck and Linda is forced to stay inside watching the restaurant.

The food truck is doing well and Bob decides to take it on the go to get more money. Soon after, Linda shuts down the restaurant to join them on the road. Bob laments to Randy (Paul F. Tompkins, last seen in Sacred Cow) that he is still not turning a profit, and Randy mentions "Lolla-Pa-Foods-A" which has a $1,000 prize for the best food truck. The Belchers hit the road to the festival, with Linda driving who quickly gets road rage.

At the festival, Tina, who has reinvented herself as Dina, hands out free mini burgers to promote the truck and lying about the contents of the burgers to the festival-goers. Louise and Gene taste-test other food truck fare and give bad reviews online, giving Bob's truck more business. Bob ends up winning the $1,000 prize before accidentally letting the festival-goers in on the various lies. A riot ensues, and the Belchers (and Randy) are forced to hide in their food truck. After the festival-goers fall asleep, they manage to get away in the food truck before Randy starts the grill while driving, causing an explosion that forces everyone to walk back to town.
