Kevin Can Wait, a popular sitcom, follows Kevin James as Kevin Gable, a newly retired police officer hoping to spend quality time with his family. In season 2 episode 21, titled The Smoking Bun, Kevin tries to be a supportive spouse and help his wife, Donna, fulfill her lifelong dream of opening a restaurant.

The episode begins with Kevin addressing the audience about how he ended up becoming a makeshift chef in Donna's restaurant kitchen. Kevin and Donna are excited about the grand opening of their restaurant venture, Mullets, which features classic Americana dishes with a quirky twist. The opening day, however, is far from smooth sailing.

With the grand opening day drawing close, Donna is highly stressed and has high expectations for everything to be perfect. When Kevin tries to encourage her to relax and enjoy the moment, she repeatedly tells him that he does not understand how important her restaurant is to her. Additionally, Kevin struggles to keep up with the kitchen's chaos, and his methods aren't exactly conventional.

Further adding to Kevin's stress is the presence of Donna's friend-Cheri-who seems to be sticking her nose in everything and making things worse. Kevin finds her annoying but decides not to say anything to Donna, knowing how much Cheri means to her. However, things quickly escalate when Cheri vehemently insists on her recipe being served on the menu.

In the midst of all this, Kevin is determined to make sure Mullets' signature dish, the Smoking Bun, is perfect. As he tries to make the dish, Kevin's attempts are continually thwarted by everything from meatpacking regulations to having to cook on a stove that used to belong to Napoleon.

The restaurant's grand opening does not fare much better. The Smoking Bun dish is a hit, but Kevin's fried macaroni and cheese causes food poisoning, sending several patrons home sick. This situation turns from bad to worse when Donna finds out that Kevin used her little black dress to mop up a sauce spill.

The Smoking Bun brings humor to the situation as it highlights Kevin's problems in cooking. In the end, Kevin and Donna remain supportive of each other, and even after the disastrous opening day, they decide to keep Mullets open, albeit with a revised menu.

The Smoking Bun is a fun and enjoyable episode of Kevin Can Wait, offering up plenty of slapstick comedy that plays to Kevin James's strengths. It is a light-hearted episode that will leave viewers smiling even as they think about the practical aspects of restaurants. The episode concludes on a positive note, with Kevin and Donna happy to take on whatever comes their way; whether it is serving up delicious smoked pork or dealing with health inspectors.
