Chef Aid is a reference to all the benefit concerts that musical acts held in the eighties and nineties. Such as Live-Aid from 1985 and all of the various Farm-Aid concerts.
A bad legal judgement threatens to land Chef in jail, unless he can come up with two million dollars to pay off the slimy Capitalist Records company. Learning for the first time that Chef is a legend in the music business, Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny set out to raise money to bail Chef out of a jam. When conventional fundraising falls short, the boys unite the town for a benefit concert, Chef Aid, and some of Chef's famous friends drop by to lend a hand including Sir Elton John and Meatloaf. Meanwhile, an old friend is stalking Mr. Garrison.
In this South Park episode we find out that Chef's real name is Jerome McElroy and Kenny dies killed by the rock star Ozzy.

(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)
Chef discovers that Alanis Morissette's (fictional) hit song "Stinky Britches" is a song that he wrote many years ago, before abandoning his musical aspirations. He contacts a "major record company" executive, seeking only to have his name credited as the composer of "Stinky Britches". Chef's claim is substantiated by a twenty-year-old recording of Chef performing the song. The record company refuses, and furthermore hires Johnnie Cochran, who files a lawsuit against him for harassment. Cochran employs the "Chewbacca defense", resulting in a win for the record company and damages to be paid by the defense, so Chef now has 24 hours to come up with the money or face four years of incarceration. However, instead of allowing all his stuff to be taken by the greedy record company executive, Chef decides to raise all the money by sleeping with all the women in town. Instead of paying the executive, he will pay Johnnie Cochran the money so this time he can sue the record company. Unfortunately, Chef comes up short of his $2 million goal (he raised about $400,000), and is sent to jail the next day.
Meanwhile, Mr. Garrison witnesses many strange attempts on Mr. Twig's life; he finds him boiling in a pot of water, and later snapped in half. The evidence begins to point to Mr. Hat as the culprit, culminating in a showdown between Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat which lands the former in jail.
The boys try to help Chef by rounding up various musicians whose careers have been boosted by Chef's advice to hold a benefit concert. The record company executive sabotages the concert, but the outpouring of support for Chef touches Johnnie Cochran, whose heart "grew three sizes that day". Cochran switches sides for free and successfully defends Chef, in a new trial, although he uses the Chewbacca Defense again (resulting in an explosion of one juror's head), ending with Chef finally getting his name on the album. Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat eventually make up their differences and get back together.
