The indication is that they were waiting a long time for the table and decided to eat one of their companions. -- ‎64.85.162.210 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

So you think that's why Kramer is missing from that episode? 108.162.219.58 01:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Outside of the obvious pointed out by the previous user: the restaurant, Joe's, could be a reference to Tex Avery's Eat at Joe's. In one of the episodes, the customers were eaten by 'Joe'. The cannibalism scenario works out as well. Torappu (talk) 18:48, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

I feel that it may not have been intended by Randall, but a good pickup nonetheless. 108.162.219.58 01:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I disagree with the original interpretation. The party of three was, I believe, more likely concerned by an additional, undepicted party, also waiting to eat at the establishment, and possibly fearing for their own safety from said cannibalism.--StrangerDanger (talk) 20:46, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Clearly you are incorrect. 108.162.219.58 01:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

My interpretation - after reading the above explanation - is that the Donner was a party of four, who had preordered a table at Joe. But when these three arrived, they had just eaten the fourth person (as a snack before leaving home...?) And then they realized that they are not really hungry anymore - when Joe asks them in. Joe obviously knows they are the Donner - and they do not deny this. (I originally wrote this on 8 October - before I today signed up with a user account - thus this edit).
