Saw It in a Movie Once: As Huey points out, Robert only started Sunday dinners in the first place because he saw Soul Food on cable.Restaurant-Owning Episode: Or rather, Robert gets to manage a restaurant owned by Ed Wuncler for an episode.DuBois, I'm sorry your cobbler look like throw-up with peas in it. I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: Not only does The Itis' disgusting soul food cause obesity and increase the risk of heart disease, it's so addicting that the customers keep making return trips to the restaurant, losing their jobs and homes in the process, and they turn to crime to (literally) feed their habit.Then again, Robert is almost always the same person Riley is. Robert asserts it is not and it only looks like it. Hypocrite: Robert calls out Riley for calling Sarah's peach cobbler "vomit with peas in it".Hypercompetent Sidekick: Chico is a really good employee, knows CPR and black history, and had a cousin helping with the bed hydraulics.All from a few community college classes.

Food Coma: The episode more or less revolves around this trope (called " the itis, as it's one of the main driving points of the restaurant's business, which is even named, "The Itis".Evil Plan: Ed I agrees to help Robert open The Itis, knowing that the restaurant's presence in the neighborhood will cause poverty, increased crime rates, and lowered property values, so that he can buy the nearby Meadowlark Park at a deep discount.Evil Lawyer Joke: When asked by Huey if he knows CPR, Janet's lawyer replies that lawyers don't help people.
