Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the diner scene, many members of Arnaz's orchestra have uncredited part at the counter, among them: Marco Rizo, Alberto Calderon, Ralph Brady, and Joe Miller.
- GoofsIn the diner scene, members of Ricky's band are playing customers at the counter. When Alberto comes in, Lucy and Ricky greet him and Ricky escorts him to a "ring side seat" in the middle. In the prior scene, there was someone (the saxophone/clarinet player) in the seat to Alberto's left but when Ricky escorts him over, that seat is now empty. The saxophone player was never seen leaving the diner.
- Quotes
Lucy Ricardo: It's all your fault.
Ricky Ricardo: My fault?
Lucy Ricardo: Yes. Yelling all those crazy things at me.
Ricky Ricardo: That was diner talk. Like Fred did.
Lucy Ricardo: Yeah well,
[about to cry]
Lucy Ricardo: the next time you want hamburgers without onions, ask for hamburgers without onions. Don't stand there and yell, "Bring the bull in the ring and laugh in his face!"

Featured review
Little bit of Cuba
Normally I love the Ricardos and the Mertzes doing their thing. The foursome going into business and obviously it won't go well. Yet it's somehow not great even though it has all the elements for a good episode. The pie throwing is good. I agree with the Mertzes it's not fair they do all the work and Lucy and Ricky just stand around talking to the guests. I have to side with Ethel and Fred.
