Synopsis
A restaurant manager makes his way to the Krusty Krab, attempting to find one more candidate for his new stadium restaurant. He sees SpongeBob fancily preparing a Krabby Patty and complements his cooking. After eating the Krabby Patty, the manager thinks that SpongeBob can be his next culinary superstar at his restaurant. He gives Mr. Krabs a fortune of money to take SpongeBob to his restaurant. Despite SpongeBob not wanting to leave the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs finds the manager's offer too good to turn down, as the manager leaves with SpongeBob.
At the tryouts kitchen, the manager gives SpongeBob and three other chefs cooking tests to decide who will be his chef at the stadium, with those who are eliminated forced to sell hot dogs on the freeway. The manager first assigns the chefs to cook soup. The sea turtle sabotages SpongeBob and the eel chef, but SpongeBob soon gets the idea to use his tie, and he dips it in his soup. As the manager judges the soups, he eliminates the eel chef after noticing the nails that were poured by the sea turtle as sabotage. At the end of judging, he declares SpongeBob the winner of the round.
The manager's next test for the chefs is pizza. The sea turtle apologizes to SpongeBob for sabotaging him earlier, but he proceeds to trick him with a "special pizza dough" made of chewed gum. The shrimp chef tries to issue payback to the sea turtle, who threw nails at him prior, by putting nails on his pizza, but the sea turtle notices him. The manager soon proceeds to judge the pizzas and eliminates the sea turtle after noticing the nails on his pizza. The sea turtle declares revenge on SpongeBob while he is eliminated. The manager tastes SpongeBob's pizza, which had the shrimp chef inside. The manager complements the pizza for its unique flavor and declares SpongeBob the winner of the competition.
At the Culinary Stadium, SpongeBob prepares to go on. SpongeBob manages to handle the orders with his skills and precision, but unbeknown to him, the sea turtle shows up at the stadium with a timed bomb, attempting to once again sabotage SpongeBob. Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs and Squidward arrive and are surprised that only the wealthy customers get to eat the food SpongeBob eats while everyone is forced to sit and watch the show. Now under pressure from time, SpongeBob panics as the food on stage starts to fall apart. Mr. Krabs, in the stands, gives SpongeBob an order of Krabby Patties to help him win. SpongeBob successfully prepares Krabby Patties and serves them to the customers outside the premium seats.
The manager stops the competition due to Krabby Patties not fitting his standard of quality food, as SpongeBob forfeits, wanting to go back to the Krusty Krab. Patrick instructs SpongeBob to go back on stage as the crowd cheers for him in the background. The bomb, still active on the stage, explodes, and launches SpongeBob into the stands, as Patrick catches him and reminds SpongeBob of his high status among the customers.
