4 unusual facts about The Big Salad


Bobby Hebert

In the episode "The Big Salad", George Costanza has a dialogue with his girlfriend Julie (played by Michelle Forbes) concerning his fascination with the pronunciation of Hebert's last name.

The Big Salad

In the last scene of the episode, Kramer leads police in a slow-speed chase on the New Jersey Turnpike while driving a white Bronco in a spoof of the slow-speed chase led by O.J. Simpson on the morning of June 17, 1994, a few months before this episode aired.

Although the character of Major League Baseball catcher Steve Gendason is fictional, the National Football League player Bobby Hebert that George discusses with Julie is an actual former Pro Bowl quarterback.

The man is later suspected in the murder of a dry cleaner, and Kramer helps the man to see his pet fish by driving in his white Ford Bronco in a low speed chase down the New Jersey Turnpike.
