(No browser currently so I'm unable to view the video)

I was actually referring to the time Elaine was at that other restaurant, the one in the "Bizarro Jerry" episode, where she was trying to order a big salad and the waitress said they only had one size of salad.

46. Yes, so they brought her two small salads.

And when she asked if they could put it in one big bowl, they said they didn't have any big bowls.

I think that's the right phrasing, but it could be:

And Flo was popular enough that she eventually got her own show. According to IMDb, it only lasted for a year.
