[edit] Plot
George becomes Steinbrenner's pet, when he shares an eggplant calzone with him. Steinbrenner then has George bring him a calzone for lunch everyday. One day when George throws his money into the tip jar unnoticed he attempts to grab it to place it back when someone was looking. Just as he is grabbing the money the guy turns and, under the impression that George is stealing money from the jar, refuses to sell him any more calzones. George then recommends to Steinbrenner that they trying something new for lunch the next day. Steinbrenner insists that they continue to keep their routine. George makes a deal to obtain the calzones for his boss when Newman brings them to him, as he is coming through on his mail route. Kramer is raving about wearing clothes "straight out of the dryer." Elaine's boyfriend, Todd Gak is dating her without really ever asking her out. Jerry takes advantage of his girlfriend's ability to get anything she wants. Kramer starts using an oven for his clothing. When Newman decides not to go to work because it is raining, George asks Kramer to get him the calzone to stay in Steinbrenner's good graces. Kramer tries to pay the Calzone seller with pennies and a fight ensues with the seller kicking Kramer out of the restaurant. George then decides to fool Steinbrenner by going to another calzone restaurant.

[edit] Trivia
- Michael Richards originally had reservations about the scene in which Kramer walks down the street wearing a pair of cargo pants with pockets full of change. He maintained that cargo pants aren't an item of clothing that Kramer would have in his wardrobe, and that he wasn't sure if the scene would read well. However, once Richards was outfitted with the weighted pants and was able to get the feel for them, he was confident that the scene would be funny after all.
