I say Let's Eat's is one Sesame Street's best video ever made.

My favorite Waiter Grover skits are:

- hamburger
- "there's a fly in my soup"
- "round and tasty on a bun, pickles, french fries, yum yum yum"
- chicken soup
- windy day
- pizza
- O'Brien's fast food
- fried chicken
- spaghetti

I guess any where Fat Blue doesn't fall at the end are the best. But if I had to pick my favorite, I'd probably go with the one with the big hamburger. That one's a classic.

It's a toss up between the hamburger and the #9 special. I mainly like the #9 special for the end of the sketch. "Picky, picky . . . . ."

I forgot this one in my original post. I also love the one where he's preparing a surprise birthday party for a grandmother, and the guests come in are there for a party for their mother, godmother, sister, wife, and aunt, and has to get six cakes, not realizing the party is for one woman.

In reading this thread I noticed a few people mentioned that one of their favorite Grover as waiter sketches is when he's a waiter at a Mexican Restaurant and keeps dancing so much he spills all the food. Definitely one of the best.

How could I have forgotten that one? That one's a classic!

Other skits I like that I forgot to mention are:
- Grover as a wig salesman
- Grover selling hot dogs in the park
I also loved the bits in Elmo Saves Christmas where Grover was selling Christmas trees.

Not exactly Waiter Grover sketches, but I think the most recent Mr. Johnson sketches with the coffee shop and Spider Monster are a couple of my favorites.

Also, watching the first sketches, I noticed Mr. Johnson was a legitimately difficult and picky customer, and it was Grover who was at the receiving end of bad luck. But as time went on, Grover just became a bad waiter who made Mr. Johnson's life more difficult. Plus, Charlie's has terrible service.

I often wondered about that. Seems like Grover was trying to get revenge on Fat Blue. I had an idea for a fan fiction about that, but I haven't had a lot of time to do any writing of late.
