Charles (SCOTT BAIO) calms Lillian's (ELLEN TRAVOLTA) fears about an upcoming trip out of town, saying that he's more than able to manage the pizza parlor himself, even though she's just hired a new chef, Dine (VITO SCOTTI). What he doesn't mention is that an important food critic is to pay a visit. Onthe appointed night Charles rounds up the entire Powell family to fill the parlor and things go well until Buddy, intent on giving Dino "cooking tips," drives the temperamental chef to quit. The supply of pizzas runs low and as Charles tries to guess who is the mysterious "Roving Gourmet," he valiantly hops from table to table trying to save the last slice of good pizza for the critic. When the review comes out, Charles is relieved to learn the critic not only loved the pizza but also enjoyed the Marx brothersstyle floor show. The good review even lures Dino back. . .with a raise, of course.moreless
