Shnitzel's request for a raise is declined, so he moves away to work at Endive's kitchen. While Chowder and company struggle to cook in his absence, Endive tries to put the moves on Shnitzel.

!!Tropes:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Endive to Shnitzel, as usual. At first he doesn’t seem to mind as she treats him better than Mung Daal does, however he draws the line when she tries to marry him.
* BadVibrations: Endive walking to the front door causes vibrations so strong that they knock Shnitzel off her front porch.
* BaitAndSwitch: While Shnitzel is being attacked by a fire-breathing broccoli dish, Mung Daal calls for a glass of ice cold Frapple juice - implying that he’ll use it to help Shnitzel. The drink ends up being for him though, as he was apparently parched.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Shnitzel grows tired of playing this role for everyone else at the restaurant and quits.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Panini asks Shnitzel what Chowder’s favorite cartoon is and then guesses that it’s probably ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} Chowder]]''.
* CirclingBirdies: The singing mice ride on three stars that start circling Shnitzel’s head after Truffles hits him with a frying pan.
* CoveredInGunge: The bag Mung, Chowder, and Truffles used to kidnap Shnitzel in ended up being a garbage bag and he’s covered in trash when they finally let him out.
* CreatorCameo: In a MediumBlending example, a puppet version of C.H. Greenblatt appears as Shnitzel's "creator," saving him from falling to his death and telling him he needs to go back to Mung’s.
* DoubleEntendre: Most of what Endive says to Shnitzel can be considered this.
* EdibleAmmunition: Endive tells Panini to [[{{Pun}} “toss her cookies”]] and she does so, flinging chocolate chip cookies like throwing stars. Unfortunately for her, Chowder promptly eats them.
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Mung Daal happily thinks Endive missed when she threw a cake at him, but she was actually intending it to hit a panic button on the wall behind him which locked down her whole restaurant.
* FireBreathingDiner: After tasting the broccoli dish he made, Chowder burps a blast of flames.
-->'''Chowder:''' Okay, maybe it ''was'' too much hot sauce.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Truffles asks Shnitzel if her dress makes her look fat and when all he does is shrug, she hits him on the head with a frying pan.
* FunnyBruceLeeNoises: Mung Daal makes these while getting ready to fight Endive. She’s less than impressed.
* ICantHearYou: Truffles pretends she can’t hear Shnitzel asking for a raise even though he’s right in front of her.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Endive when she loses Shnitzel to Mung Daal, Truffles, and Chowder.
-->'''Endive:''' Panini, go get me a Hot Smudge Sundae.
-->'''Panini:''' Yes, Miss Endive.
-->'''Endive:''' Make it a double!
* ImpactSilhouette: After quitting, Shnitzel walks right through the front door, leaving a Shnitzel-shaped hole in his wake.
* InsigniaRipOffRitual: To illustrate his point while quitting, Shnitzel rips off his apron…to reveal another identical apron underneath.
* JabbaTableManners: Unsurprisingly, Endive is a disgustingly sloppy eater.
* KissOfLife: Endive pretends to drown so that she can get this from Shnitzel.
* LohengrinAndMendelssohn: Endive has Shnitzel close his eyes to calm down after he tells off Mung Daal. When he opens them, Endive is walking towards him in a wedding dress as her personal organist plays the classic “Here Comes the Bride” tune.
* ModestyTowel: Trying to seduce Shnitzel after finding out he wants to work for her, Endive changes into just a towel as if she got interrupted while bathing.
* NoodleIncident: The pictures C. H. Greenblatt shows Shnitzel to convince him to go back to Mung’s show the following never-before-seen events: Mung and Chowder nursing him back to health when he had plague pox, the two of them giving him money to pay off his student loans, and Shnitzel running through a bad part of town after a crazy birthday party.
* OwMyBodyPart: Endive exclaims, “Ow, my eye!” when Shnitzel spits the Frapple she had used to gag him back at her.
* PassThePopcorn: While Shnitzel is telling off Mung Daal and refusing to go back to work for him, Endive pulls up a chair and starts eating popcorn.
* RejectedMarriageProposal: Endive thinks Shnitzel came back to work for her because he’s in love with her and tries to marry him immediately. When he sets her straight, she’s disappointed to say the least.
* RollingPinOfDoom: Endive uses a giant rolling pin to fight Mung Daal. He uses…Shnitzel who’s stuck in a burlap sack that Mung, Chowder, & Truffles used to try to kidnap him.
* ShoutOut: At the beginning of the episode, three mice sing “Shnitzel Fella” - a parody of the “Cinderella Work Song” from ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Cinderella]]''.
* StewedAlive: Endive attempts to do this to Shnitzel after he refuses to marry her.
* TheSwearJar: Apparently Shnitzel has a swear jar at the restaurant, and it’s overflowing.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: Shnitzel angrily quits his job while ripping off his apron and smashing his way through the front door.
* ThereWasADoor: Tofu, who Mung Daal hired to replace Shnitzel, angrily bursts through the wall right next to the door when he both entered and exited the kitchen.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Mung Daal tells an irate Shnitzel that he can thank him for saving him later.
* UndesirablePrize: Mung Daal says that while he can’t give Shnitzel a raise, he can give him something even better: a used pocket comb, made even worse by the fact that Shnitzel doesn’t have hair.
* WeNeedADistraction: Chowder distracts Endive by touching his nose with his tongue so Mung Daal and Truffles can carry Shnitzel out of the restaurant.
-->'''Mung Daal:''' ''That'', my dear Endive, is what’s known as a distraction!
