He was at the Krusty Krab because the Le Chum Bucket was full of customers. At first, what looks like a customer at the Krusty Krab is later revealed to be a customer from the Le Chum Bucket. Squidward becomes a big hit while the Krusty Krab appears to have no customers. The restaurant is called Le Chum Bucket and the chum is called " Chum Fricassee," prepared only by Squidward.

The chum leads to the opening of a new restaurant using Squidward as the chef and the same structure of the Chum Bucket. Plankton is not amused at first, since the chum looks the same, but notes that it does not smell unpleasant.

After 24 hours, Squidward places a plate of the chum on a plate for Plankton. He claims that he can make even chum edible with his grandmother's secret recipe, yet it will take exactly 24 hours to cook. Squidward pours a batch of chum into a large container. Though Squidward immediately jumps to decorating the Chum Bucket, Plankton reminds him that he hired Squidward to cook. Squidward tells SpongeBob that he is quitting his job at the Krusty Krab and enters the Chum Bucket. Krabs passes by and flat-out says that he does not value him, Squidward accepts. Squidward pries Plankton off and initially refuses his offer, but when Mr.

He tries to grab Squidward's attention by hooking on to Squidward's skin near his scalp. Plankton overhears this statement and rushes out of the Chum Bucket. Squidward continues his boasting and claims that with his cooking abilities, he can even make the Chum Bucket a success and make people come dine there. Krabs laughs at this statement as SpongeBob and Squidward depart from the Krusty Krab. Squidward then retaliates by saying that if he started a restaurant, people would be waiting for years just to have a taste of his cooking. Krabs, as usual, dismisses his comments as complaints and claims that Squidward would have no true experience on how to run his own restaurant. Squidward clocks them both out and begins to contemplate the surroundings of the Krusty Krab, only to find that he thinks it is disgusting, and that it has no doormat. After a long day of work, SpongeBob is shown upset about clocking out and ends up leaving before doing so.
