Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Fleisher brothers (Dave Fleischer and Lou Fleischer) used Bluto in this short as the operator of a diner who is annoyed by Wimpy's hamburger mooching. This is loosely taken from E.C. Segar's Thimble Theatre comic where a recurring character named Rough House, a hard working chef who owns and operates the Rough House Cafe, is often seen serving meals to Popeye and his friends and trying to avoid the mooching ways of the hamburger loving Wimpy. Bluto is used in this cartoon to give Popeye someone to fight since Rough House is an ally to Popeye.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Wimpy: [singing] There's nothing in the world that can compare / With a hamburger, juicy and rare. / A hamburger lives for the pleasure it gives; / It's a thrill on the bill of fare. / Such heavenly food deserves the best: / A home and contentment beneath my vest. / There's nothing in the world that's so divine / As a hamburger, tender and fine - / I adore you, hamburger mine!

Featured review
Very amusing-- and appropriately titled!
"What! No Spinach?" was very amusing-- and appropriately titled (as spinach was not on the menu). Bluto's Restaurant was clearly a mediocre eatery. The sign said TRY OUR SOUP-SANDWICH, so Bluto was clearly trying to show off. J Wellington Wimpy, who worked at this dump, sang his Hamburger Ode, which was very pretty. It was yet another sign of Wimpy's love for hamburgers,and tendency to mooch them! Then in happened Popeye. Olive Oyl was not with him, but Bluto's Restaurant was NOT the kind of place to bring her on a date! (She would have had fits!) Wimpy showed electric sign saying MENU (which Popeye thought was an ENTREE, saying he didn't want any of that) HAMBURGER ROAST DUCK HAMBURGERS SOUP HAMBURGERS Popeye ordered roast duck, which led Wimpy to request "One hamburger, please", which he tried to mooch, but Bluto flipped the burger on a fork over and over to Popeye, who said "I SAID ROAST DUCK!" This chain of events led Popeye and Bluto into a brawl; Wimpy took advantage of that and emerged the winner. All in all, very amusing-- and a fit
