History[]
After Al receives a cheesecake from Chuck's Cheese Bowl that he found to be unacceptable and nothing like the one he had before, he begins an investigation. The original chef, Hans, worked at Chuck's Cheese Bowl for 24 years before moving to another bakery, and after that, fled the country for Europe. Al finds out that Hans was in fact a war criminal and was hiding in France.
He attempts to get someone to tell him where in France Hans is hiding. This eventually leads to Al calling the French rude after he reminded them about how America has saved their "wine-soaked hides" in past wars. Finally he is able to get a hold of Hans, who made it back to Germany to die there, but would ship one more to Al, to serve as a testament of Hans' legacy.
Some time later, Hans decides to visit the U.S. once more and personally bring the cheesecake to Al, referring to him as "Herr Bundy". Unfortunately, he wasn't home at the time, and Kelly slams the door in his face despite his plea, as it was freezing outside and he wanted to meet the man that really cared about his cheesecakes. Unbeknownst to him, upon arriving at home, Al though Hans was just some "sissy merry in short pants" and chased him off the lawn, before turning the garden hose on him. Upon noticing the smell of the cheesecake, he eagerly prepare to eat it one last time. Kelly and Bud, who decide to head out while Al eats, find Hans later, frozen solid on the sidewalk, giving their house a middle finger.
A few days later, Al laments about no one being able to tell him where Hans is, unaware that he attacked Hans upon his visit to the Bundy residence and left him to freeze in the Chicago cold.
