So far, Ep3 is my favorite of the new season. I lost it at the "fitty men" line.

Two episodes in so maybe this is explained, but where was Bobby living and attending HS during the ten years Hank and Peggy were out of the US? With Dede?

I don't think they were gone that long. I think they moved overseas after he graduated from high school.

The opening credits actually appear to answer the question, at least implicitly. You see Hank, Peggy and Bobby get in the shuttle to go to the airport with their luggage. Everyone waves goodbye, including Joseph and Connie. Later, when Hank and Peggy return in the Uber, they return without Bobby. After they settle in/take down the "for rent" sign and are back in the alley, Bobby comes walking up. As the show states Bobby is now 21 and didn't go to college, the implied back story is that Bobby went to Saud-eye Arabia to finish High School and came back alone after graduation to start his restaurant. Eventually, Hank and Peggy came home and the family reunited.

Mike Judge says famed Austin chef inspired Bobby Hill in 'King of the Hill' reboot

The 'King of the Hill' co-creator, a sometime Austinite, says the Uchi co-founder subconsciously influenced Bobby's turn as a Japanese-German chef.

Overall, I liked the season a lot. Ep 3 was favorite. Eps 4 and 5 dipped a little in quality (they seemed more like discarded Simpsons ideas than KotH concepts) but the rest of the season was overall excellent (even if I do not believe there is any scenario under which Buck wasn't dead by now of either a heart attack, liver failure or being murdered by his umpteenth wife).

As for Buck being alive. Keith Richards shows us you can live a rough life and last a long time. Some people are just lucky.

Hank would be aghast that you compared the greatest businessman he's ever known to that...ugh...hippie.

Hank doesn't know if there is a way to kick somebody's ass threw the internet, but he'll find a way.
