synopsis
Mel (Vic Tayback) is none too happy when his mom Carrie (Martha Raye) takes over the kitchen and starts turning out her famous chicken pies. An argument inevitably arises, ending when Mel kicks Carrie out of the diner. This proves to be a major blunder when Carrie goes to work for Mel's chief rival Benny Conway (Jack Kruschen)--and syphons off Mel's profits in the process.
