A meaty partnership launches today as FOX's newest animated series, "Bob's Burgers," teams with Fatburger to re-brand select restaurants across the country and serve up exclusive limited-time offers, including a free burger giveaway on Thursday, Jan. 6. In addition, Fatburger locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago and New Jersey will be fully transformed into "Bob's Burgers" until Monday, Jan. 31:

California:            

7450 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, Calif.

321 Mt. Hope Ave., Rockaway, N.J.

Nevada:

The grills will heat up at the above restaurants when Bob's Burgers serves the sizzling "The Thanks a Brunch Burger" (a medium Fatburger topped with bacon and egg) for free on Thursday, Jan. 6 (while supplies last).

Also, numerous Fatburger locations from coast to coast will offer the special "The Thanks a Brunch Burger" as a menu item until Monday, Feb. 28. Also, customers at these restaurants who have a special "Bob's Burgers" coupon will receive a free medium Fatburger with the purchase of a "Big Fat Deal" at participating locations.

Coupons for the free medium Fatburger and more information on the promotion can be found at www.fox.com/bobsburgers or www.fatburger.com. iPhone or Android users with the Loopt mobile app can obtain the coupons by checking in at participating restaurants and showing the Bob's Burgers reward to a Fatburger employee.

Be on the lookout when "Bob's Burgers" hits the streets of Los Angeles in the famous Fatmobile to serve up free burgers Thursday, Jan. 6, through Saturday, Jan. 8 (while supplies last). Visit www.facebook.com/bobsburgers or www.facebook.com/fatburger to get the latest location information. A familiar sight on film and TV production locations, the Fatmobile is no stranger to the entertainment community, catering meals to enthusiastic casts and crews, including a recent set visit to "Glee."

The newest addition to FOX's Sunday Animation Domination lineup, "Bob's Burgers" opens Sunday, Jan. 9 (8:30 p.m. ET/PT) on FOX. The series follows a third-generation restaurateur, Bob (H. Jon Benjamin), as he runs Bob's Burgers with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob has big ideas about burgers, condiments and sides, but only a few thoughts on customer service and business management. Despite his greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob is convinced his burgers speak for themselves.

Even though business is slow, Bob gets to work with his family. His wife, Linda (John Roberts), supports Bob's dream through thick and thin (but truth be told, she's getting a little sick of the thin). Their eldest daughter, Tina (Dan Mintz), is a 13-year-old hopeless romantic with minimal social skills. Middle child Gene (Eugene Mirman) is an aspiring musician and a prankster who serves up more jokes than burgers. Their youngest, Louise (Kristen Schaal), is the most enthusiastic about her dad's business, but an off-balance sense of humor makes her somewhat of a liability in the kitchen.

"Bob's Burgers" is a 20th Century Fox Television production. The series was created by Loren Bouchard ("Home Movies"). Bouchard and Jim Dauterive ("King of the Hill") serve as executive producers and writers. Anthony Chun ("King of the Hill") directed the pilot.
