That's So Raven is an American Emmy Award-nominated sitcom television series broadcast on the Disney Channel.
The plot revolves around teenager Raven Baxter and her schemes to get herself, her friends Eddie and Chelsea, and family members, such as her brother Cory, out of various situations, usually by using her psychic powers and her skills as a master of disguise. Seasons 1-3 were produced by Brookwell McNamara Entertainment. The fourth and final season was produced by Raven-Symoné. It became the first (and only) Disney Channel Series to create a spin-off, Cory in the House, which followed her younger brother, Cory, as his dad becomes the head chef for the President of the United States, causing the two of them to move to Washington D.C.
The original name for the main character was Dawn Baxter, and the show was originally named The Future Is On Me and then Bikeface. Finally, they changed the main character's name to Rose Baxter, and the show was called Absolutely Psychic. However, it was changed yet again to Raven Baxter when Raven-Symoné won the lead part, and the show was changed to That's So Raven.
The Chill Grill is a restaurant owned by Victor Baxter who is Raven's father and also a gourmet chef. It was introduced during the second season of That's So Raven. In the episode "If I Only Had a Job", Raven has a vision of her dad opening his own restaurant called "'Baxter's Place'." In the beginning of the second season it finally opened as "The Chill Grill." The introduction of "The Chill Grill" was during the episode "Out Of Control". The restaurant is also a popular hangout for the kids that go to Raven Baxter's school. It was revealed in the episode The Four Aces that the Chill Grill was formerly a swinging 1940's restaurant by day, and nightclub in the evening called The Four Aces. The Chill Grill almost went out of business when, in the episode The Grill Next Door, the restaurant faced stiff competition from a knock-off restaurant called "The Hill Grill", which was owned by Victor's college cooking rival Leonard Stevenson. As of now the Chill Grill is still owned by Victor Baxter, but a manager is running it until Victor and his son come back from Washington D.C.
