First mentioned in "I'll Be Seeing You, Part 1", the Hungry Heifer is originally a restaurant that Norm dislikes. He mentiones it as a new place downtown, but the food is bad and the service is bad as well. However, Norm keeps getting lured back by the specials, even though he knows repeated indigestion should have stopped him. He gradually comes to like the place more, and even defends it. The Hungry Heifer is a place that sells cheap meat and meat-like substances (like "beff" and "loobster") and is apparantly designed for heavy eaters that aren't picky about what they eat.
