Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Minnie's exclamation mark That Taste of Springfield festival inspired me! If those bozos can make a living cooking food, so can I! Marge taught me how to stir, but there's gotta be more to it than that... No, it's mostly stirring. And some slopping. And lots of yelling at people to eat the food. Yeah, but you're not making the big bucks. I'll learn to cook from the same place I get my medical treatment: the Internet. Task: "Make Minnie Learn to Cook". The job takes 4 hours. Cooking is a hassle. I've got flour all over my face and I wasn't even cooking with it! I need to try a different approach. I'll become a chef the Szyslak way. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1 Please, you've got to teach me about being a chef. Me? It's been years since I touched a pan...and that was to smack Julia Child when she got handsy during a segment on Carson. Exactly! You don't cook, yet your name's on everything from the burgers to the toilet paper. That's cause they're made from the same stuff. All right, I'll teach you everything I know! Task: "Reach Level 7 and Place Krusty Burger". Task: "Make Krusty teach Minnie About the Restaurant Business". The job takes place at a Krusty Burger and takes 60 minutes. Wow, that really didn't take long at all. Like, a shockingly short amount of time. Turns out I don't really know anything. You're worthless! Hey! Now you're getting the hang of running a restaurant! Screaming at people who are trying their best! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Minnie's exclamation mark Stupid online lessons and know-nothing clown. I just want to bring people joy through food, which I hate and have no passion for! Why is this so hard?! Why don't you try some of my pasta? Best in town! Wow, this takes my mind off my troubles... and puts it on how bad this pasta is! But... it's my momma's secret recipe! She taught me you poke holes in the plastic before you put it in the microwave. Task: "Make Minnie Leave a Bad Online Review". The job takes place at Luigi's or a Brown House and takes 12 hours. Wow, telling that guy his food is terrible really picked up my spirits. Although I do feel bad about badmouthing his dear old mother on the Internet... Because she doesn't go online, so she won't know how bad I trashed her! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Minnie's exclamation mark Man, my post about Luigi's is blowing up faster than The Hindenburg... ...that German restaurant I also trashed online. Face it: I was never gonna be a master chef. Cooking just isn't a skill I was born with. But tearing down people's dreams with my words? I'm a natural! Task: "Make Minnie Become a Social Media Food Critic". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern and takes 60 minutes. I thought I'd be good at this, but I never dreamed I'd be great. Unfortunately I'm too great. The restaurants I reviewed all went out of business. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Minnie's exclamation mark What will I do now? I don't know how to cook, I can't trash other people's cooking... Guess my career in the food business is over. Good riddance! When momma catches up with you, she's gonna drive you outta town! Wait a minute, that gives me an idea! Don't hurt momma, she's-a all talk! No, I'm going to get a job driving around making food deliveries! Task: "Make Minnie Work For A Food Delivery App". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 24 hours. This is great! I get to eat all the loose french fries I want, infuriate people by being late... And when I'm bored, I'll screw up people's orders on purpose. I love the food biz! Quest reward: 200 and 20
