All You Can't Eat is the second episode of CatDog from the first season. In this episode, CatDog attempts to eat at a Mexican restaurant, but Rancid Rabbit prevents them from doing so.
Characters Present
Summary
CatDog want to eat some lunch at a taco restaurant, but the manager Rancid Rabbit bans them from entering because of his aversion towards them. They try sneaking in numerous ways, but are caught every time. Eventually, Dunglap takes control of Taco Depot after the restaurant's owner Mr. Depot fires Rancid, and lets Cat and Dog eat there whenever they want.
Recap
Cat and Dog are very hungry and they both want to eat at Taco Depot, but the eagle-eyed manager, Rancid Rabbit, tries to toss them out. They use several different disguises and other wacky attempts to get in, but it seems like nothing will work, until Rancid is fired, and Dunglap, Cat and Dog's best friend, is the new manager. Dunglap says that Cat and Dog can come and go as they please. Dog tells the news to Cat, who says he is stuffed.
Trivia
- This is the first episode in which Winslow does not appear. He was only mentioned.
- The Greaser Dogs make a cameo in this episode. However, Cliff doesn't even acknowledge Cat and Dog when they enter the restaurant.
- The episode was meant to teach the lesson that the right to refuse service to a customer should not be abused - in this case, Cat and Dog were both refused service by Rancid Rabbit because of the fact that he doesn't like them very much. Cat even vehemently points this out, stating that it's "flat-out un-American" for them to be refused service even though they paid for their food.
- This episode's title is a play on the phrase "all you can eat". It is also referenced by Cat at the beginning of the episode when he tells Dog that it does not literally mean to consume everything, which implies that the latter did that some time ago, getting them banned as a result.
- Taco Depot seems to be a parody on Taco Bell. The name could also be similar to The Home Depot.
- The "No Shirt, No Shoes No CatDog" sign is a parody on the phrase "No shirt, no shoes, no service".
