Synopsis[]
The campers arrive at Narlene's cafe.
At breakfast, the miserable campers are subjected to Plankton's terrible cooking. However, Plankton is confident that the kids have to eat it because there are no other restaurants around. Suddenly, Nobby sneaks in and tells Patrick about a better place to eat. He takes him, SpongeBob, and Sandy to Narlene's Dewslapper Cafe, a restaurant where the food is cooked by Narlene and served by Nobby. The three enjoy their meals and decide to tell the other campers about Narlene's cafe.
The next morning, Plankton finds all the campers gone. Mr. Krabs tells him that if he does not serve the campers, he will not be paid, so Plankton goes into the woods to look for them. He comes across Narlene's cafe and is determined to put it out of business and win his customers back. First, Plankton sneaks into Patrick's chowder and eats his crackers. When Patrick reports this to Nobby, he puts a razor clam in the soup, which eats Plankton. Next, Plankton finds skunk snails in the forest to stink up the restaurant. The shock caller he uses to anger them malfunctions, and they spray him instead.
Plankton sneaks into Narlene's kitchen.
Plankton retreats to his lab and Karen helps remove the skunk smell from him. Plankton gets the idea to steal Narlene's recipe, disguising himself as a sea urchin and sneaking into her kitchen. There, he witnesses how Narlene's food is made: entirely with her feet, which she dips into the soup before feeding it to campers. He is disgusted, and when he exposes this to the campers, they are disgusted and run away. However, Narlene charges Plankton for the destruction he caused. Plankton cannot afford it, so Narlene and Nobby make Plankton clean their dishes, with Narlene rubbing him against a plate with her foot.
