*The waiter who had a bowl of spinach salad land on his head and the waiter at the [[Once Upon a Restaurant]] (who tells her the Little Bo Peep pot pie is full of Spinach) is the same character. The reason is that he got a new job at Once Upon a Restaurant after quitting his old job at the restaurant where D.W. caused trouble by punching her salad while having a tantrum about spinach. He was kind enough to ask D.W. if something was wrong (e.g. "Is something the matter"?). He also said, "That's it! I quit" when he got mad with a headful of spinach salad with the dressing dripping off of his head. | *The waiter who had a bowl of spinach salad land on his head and the waiter at the [[Once Upon a Restaurant]] (who tells her the Little Bo Peep pot pie is full of Spinach) is the same character.

*A fan has found a reference to another media character. The woman who gives The Reads their menus at Once Upon a Restaurant. The outfit she wears greatly resembles that of the Harvey cartoon character, Wendy the Good Little Witch. Since Once Upon a Restaurant is fairy-tale themed, it is more likely to be Little Red Riding Hood because of the brown clothing up front and red hood and because Little Red Riding Hood is well known among fairy tale characters. There is still some possible reference to Wendy because of the blonde hair and red outfit. | *A fan has found a reference to another media character.
