Role in episode
The Chum Fricassee was first created after Squidward quit his job at the Krusty Krab, due to Mr. Krabs taunting him about running a restaurant. To prove him wrong, he decides to go work at the Chum Bucket to perfect Plankton's chum. Squidward creates a mass of chum, and then has Plankton taste it for too much success. Shortly after becoming publicly available, Squidward and the fricassee rise to fame, with Squidward being featured on television and even in magazines. With all the success the Chum Bucket is having, the Krusty Krab cannot compete, and almost loses business.
Everything goes well until Grandma Tentacles storms into the Chum Bucket, furious about Squidward incorrectly using her secret recipe. Squidward, who originally told Plankton to cook the Chum Fricassee for exactly 24 hours, forced him to undercook it in order to get it out quicker. According to Grandma Tentacles, she says that if the Chum Fricassee is not cooked for exactly 24 hours, it will leave people with an upset stomach.
The angry customers then form an angry mob and burn down the Chum Bucket after hearing that they were eating undercooked food.
