The episode ends with a new location for the restaurant opening across a parking lot from Goldblatt’s Deli. He addresses the conflict between Israel and Palestine by making fictional Larry and his manager Jeff Greene, two Jewish characters, obsessed with a new Palestinian chicken restaurant in Los Angeles. Palestinian ChickenĪs he often did with Seinfeld, Larry David used an episode of Curb’s most recent season to bring levity to a heavy topic. A rare moment of Larry being in the right proves that no good deed goes unpunished. Larry takes offense to this and tattles on the fish egg glutton to Mary, but Christian returns the favor in a separate incident later in the episode, and as a result, Larry gets his ass kicked. An anniversary event for Ted Danson and his wife, Mary, includes a bowl of caviar on the hors d’oeuvres buffet, and Christian is going to town, leaving little for the other guests. Guest star Christian Slater exhibits some poor party etiquette that might typically be associated with Larry. Nevertheless, this memory haunts old Larry as Mister Softee trucks around New York City cause him to make an error in a softball championship game and render him suddenly impotent in the middle of relations with his girlfriend.

To be fair to the beloved, cone-headed ice cream merchant, Larry only has himself and his terrible poker skills to blame for the incident - he wound up naked as a jaybird while his opponent lost just her shoes and socks. Viewers discover that a teenage Larry was traumatized by the Mister Softee music when he was tossed out of an ice cream truck, nude, after a game of strip poker with the driver’s daughter. Before the Season 9 premiere, take a look back with 10 pretty, pretty, prettttay good food moments from the first eight seasons. Larry, his fictional manager Jeff, his ex-wife Cheryl, and a slew of celebrity guests will get into who knows how many messes over the forthcoming 10 new episodes, and if the show’s track record is any indication, more than a few of these will involve cooking, dining, and restaurants. In similar fashion to Seinfeld, David’s first TV hit, Curb pays special attention to all of the little annoyances in life, which are often blown out of proportion by characters who can’t just let them go.

After a six-year hiatus, Larry David’s acclaimed HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm returns for its ninth season this Sunday, October 1.
