Plot[]

After Mung and Shnitzel (mostly the former) mistakenly believe that Chowder ate all the food meant for their camping trip when in reality, it was mysterious creature known as "Big Food" (whom only Chowder believes in). Chowder leaves Mung and Shnitzel to prove his innocence, and he eventually stumbles upon Big Food's cave.

It turns out that Big Food's a retired actress who has long since faded into obscurity (which would explain why hardly believes that she's real). Now living as recluse and watching her old movies (which appear to be from the show's equivalent of Hollywood's Golden Age) in an attempt to relive her glory days, occassionally stealing food from campers (such as Chowder, Mung and Shnitzel) in order to get by. Big Food eventually notices Chowder and soon starts making demands of him, mistaking him for her old assistant/co-star, Flax (it's clear that Big Food's mentally unstable).

When Chowder asks Big Food to come back to his, Mung and Shnitzel's campsite, she misinterprets as making a comeback as an actress. After order some fresh food from Dine-1-1 and using that give Big Food a bit of a makeover, the duo eventually gets into Big Food's car to get her back to Chowder's campsite. But when Chowder crashes the car, Big Food loses hope about making a comeback. Chowder soon starts serenading her, which helps the old actress to feel better -- but when Big Food asks Chowder (still mistaking him for Flax) to recreate a scene from one of her old movies, Chowder accidentally swallows her whole (since Big Food is still techncially made entirely of food).

Chowder eventually makes it back to his campsite and Mung and Shnitzel are glad to see that he's okay. Chowder's ultimately able to prove to them that Big Food is in fact real, because it turns out that she's somehow still alive while in Chowder's stomach (which Mung and Shnitzel are able to see). Big Food's very happy down there too, as she's reunited with all of her "old friends" from her days as an actress.

Mung and Shntizel are (understandably) surprised to see that Big Food's real -- while Chowder walks off, happy to have been proven right, Mung and Shnitzel then start wondering what else Chowder could've been right about if he was right about Big Food being real. The episode ultimately ends with a view of an alien werewolf businessman living in a hotdog-house on the moon.

Trivia[]

  • It is revealed that Chowder believes in tabloids that prove accurate at the end.
  • Big Food, the character, is a parody of Old Hollywood like references to Marilyn Monroe with Some Like It 350 Degrees, a parody of Some Like It Hot as well as the film Sunset Boulevard, which is about an aging former famous aging actress wanting to make her comeback.
