Good Burger
On the first day of summer, slacker high school student Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) takes his mother's car on a joyride while she is away on a business trip but accidentally crashes into and damages both his mother's car and the car of his teacher, Mr. Wheat (Sinbad). Dexter is in danger of going to jail, as he neither has a driver's license nor car insurance. Fortunately, Wheat agrees to let Dexter pay for the damages in exchange for not calling the police on Dexter. With the damages estimated at $1,900, Dexter's forced to get a summer job. After being fired from the new and soon-to-open Mondo Burger restaurant for clashing with the owner and manager, Kurt Bozwell (Jan Schweiterman), he ends up working for Good Burger. There, he meets and reluctantly befriends the dimwitted yet charming cashier Ed (Kel Mitchell) alongside other colorful employees. Initially, neither of them are aware that Ed inadvertently caused Dexter's car accident. Ed had skated in front of Dexter on his way to make a delivery, causing him to swerve and crash into Mr. Wheat's car.
