Dialogue

Pt. 1

After completing Coronary Capitalism Hey Springfield, your chicken parmesan from Luigi's is just like your citizens: fat, tasteless, and cheese-filled! It's my-a great-great-great grandmother's chicken-a parmesan recipe! She whispered the secret ingredient to the priest on her death-a bed! Was the secret ingredient that it sucks?! *turns off TV* I don't like this Boomy guy! Who flies across the country just to insult the people of a small town? He's just giving the haters what they want: more things to hate. The DC Universe has been doing it with their movies for years. We need to show Scotty Boom the real Springfield. We've got lots of great chefs here, and all sorts of culinary diversity. Speaking of culinary diversity, who wants to go out and get me a couple more Sweet and Sour Lasagna Burritos? I'd go myself, but you know, burrito coma. Dad! This is serious. If Scotty Boom ruins the culinary reputation of Springfield, all of our greatest chefs are going to pack up and go to the only country that has such bad food, they'll let anyone cook for them. The Ivory Coast? No, England. If all of the chefs of Springfield leave for England, then that means no more Captain Corndog's Schnitzel Palace, Chili Blasters, Chuck Dukewagon's All-American Chow Lounge... And what of Cloggers, Lisa? What of Cloggers?! They'll all be in England, where let's just say, the "Double Clogmeister" won't receive the appreciation it deserves. I don't care what laws I have to break. I am going to take down this food-ruining Scotty Boom. Task: "Collect Smoked Meats" (x155). Task: "Make Homer Go to the Mayor". The job takes place at Simpson House, Future Simpson's House, Simpson Houseboat, Outlands Simpsons House, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Marge is owned: Task: "Make Marge Get Angry at Scotty Boom". The job takes place at Simpson House, Future Simpson's House, Simpson Houseboat, Outlands Simpsons House, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Laugh at Scotty Boom". The job takes place at Simpson House, Future Simpson's House, Simpson Houseboat, Outlands Simpsons House, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Sorry to barge into your office like this, but it's an EMERGENCY! Emergency?! Another French bulldog stolen?! When is it going to end?! No, we've got a problem with the celebrity chef who came to town. Hmm, celebrity chef... Is it the guy who says "bam"?! Or is it that spikey-haired one who looks like a PT Cruiser come to life?! No, it's uh, Scooty Dumb, Skippy Bomb... You know, the guy from New York who pretends he's just an Average Joe but actually looks down on everyone? Scotty Boom?! I, er-uh, love that guy! He's the host of "Side Dish: Impossible", "Master Prison Chef", "The Amazing Taste", "Barbecue Mitzvah", "Kill It, Chill It, Grill It", and "World War Food"! Well, if we don't stop him soon, this town's gonna be World War Screwed. What, er-uh, could a celebrity chef possibly do to endanger Springfield? His brutal food criticism is going to drive away all our best chefs! And then the only food we'll have left are those rolling hotdogs from the Kwik-E-Mart, and that's only like one lunch worth of hot dogs on there! You're right. This is an emergency! We need our chefs to stay in Springfield! And there's only one thing we can do. Er-uh, draw up a negative ad on the guy and blast it all over TV? We need to host a food festival and challenge Scotty Boom to a cook-off. Quest reward: 100 and 10 General Chang's Taco Italiano

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 People of Springfield, I'm honored to announce, "Springfield Foodie Fest", sponsored by "Grip 'N Flip Spatulas". Boo! Dad, you're the one who came up with the idea for this festival. Yeah, but I wanted it to be called "Springfield Chomp Carnival", also sponsored by "Grip 'N Flip Spatulas"! "Foodie Fest" will showcase the culinary brilliance from our town's greatest chefs! Hah! The notion that this town has any brilliance, specifically culinary brilliance, is laughable. See, look at me, I'm laughing! *laughs* Ugh, this guy is so mean. Maybe it's because he was bullied at school. Everyone was bullied at school. Yeah, but not for carrying around a panini press like a lunchbox and making little pesto sandwiches during recess. Hey! Are you talking about all that panini stuff?! My biography was unauthorized and filled with lies! Sorry, I didn't think you could hear me saying all that. Sound really reverberates inside of this smartphone we all live in. Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for, a Springfield showdown with chef Scotty Boom. Look, if anyone in this town can present me a dish that doesn't make me want to burn my tongue off with a crème brûlée torch... Then I'll decree on my show "Eat Down" that Springfield's food isn't terrible. I am going to win this for Springfield! For Springfield! For MEEEE! Task: "Collect Smoked Meats" (x155).

OK, have you made something good enough to make me change my mind about the disgusting food in Springfield? I present to you my famous "Grilled Cheese Sashimi Sandwich". Grilled cheese sashimi? Yes, with tomato miso soup on the side. Well, I hope you packed your bags... Why would I pack my bags? I live here. ...because this grilled cheese looks and smells disgusting. Just eat it. *takes a bite* You know...this isn't so — oh my god, I'm going to puke. Ugh, the slightly cooked raw fish, and the American cheese — Next! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Barbecue Battle Booth

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 Mr. Boom, sir. It is such a pleasure to meet you. I know it is. So, what have you made me? If you will, I present to you the Kwik-E-Mart's finest of artisanal selections. A tender kielbasa grilled to perfection and placed in an open-face brioche bun with a sweet red sauce. This is a greasy hot dog with ketchup on it. The hottest, I assure you. It's been rolling on our hotdog cooker since 2014. It looks funny, is it even made of meat? Well, it's not not meat. It's a natural blend of growth hormones, sheep casing, potassium lactate, buffalo trimmings... Task: "Collect Smoked Meats" (x115). If Apu is owned: Task: "Make Apu Continue Listing Off Hot Dog Ingredients". The job takes place at the Barbecue Battle Booth, a Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.

The job takes place at the Barbecue Battle Booth, a Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. ...mechanically separated rib bone, pink slime, green slime, fat slurry, whale slush... I'm sorry, did you say, "whale slush"? The slushiest. Yeah, I'm not eating that. NEXT! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Hot Dog Maker

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Please tell me you've at least cooked something edible. I'm actually getting hungry and I'm at a freaking food festival! Most a-certainly! You will not a-be able to resist my delicious pizza that's been a-passed down through my family for generations. It's a-just how a-Momma used to make it. I'll be totally honest with you. This is the first dish I've seen all day that appears digestible on first glance. Perfectly cooked crust, nice layer of cheese... *takes a bite* Mmm. And it's quite good! Wait a minute... *spits out pizza* Are those little pieces of pineapple hidden underneath the pepperonis? Yes, my Momma used to hide-a my vegetables so I would eat them. It's exactly-a how she used to make it! I'm sorry, I thought I was eating a pizza, not a fruit salad! People who put pineapple on pizza should be shot into space. Next!? Come on, you can-a eat my famous penne pesto instead. I said, NEXT! Wow, take a penne, leave a penne. Task: "Collect Smoked Meats" (x115). Task: "Make Homer Eat the Leftovers". The job takes place at the Barbecue Battle Booth, a Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.

The job takes place at the Barbecue Battle Booth, a Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Grocery Store, CostMo, Try-N-Save, Quick & Fresh, Sconewall Bakery, Swapper Jack's, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. That Scotty Boom thinks he's soooo cool. Making fun of everybody just because he's from New York and on basic cable. Well, he won't be laughing after he tries my version of the Sweet and Sour Lasagna Burrito. What's different about it? I'm swapping the lasagna meat with my very own "Special Sauce Ribs". It ties in all the competing flavors somehow. Wait, are you using a plutonium rod to flip the meat on the grill? No, this is just my green spatula stick thingy. Hold on, please don't tell me you use that every time you do "family grilling". I mean, I've only been using it the last five, six years or so. No wonder why I haven't grown an inch since the 1980s! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Rocket Pigs

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Well, if it isn't Homer Simpson. At least my name doesn't sound like half of a Flintstones character! At least my entire existence isn't loosely based on The Flintstones. At least— Just show me the amazing dish you made at the last minute to save your beloved town. Here is my Sweet and Sour Lasagna Special Sauce Rib Burrito! That sounds terrible, but looks fine enough. *takes a bite* Oh, God. What the heck is in this thing?! Why is the rib meat neon green and glowing?! That's the special sauce that makes it special! Hey everyone, come look, Scotty Boom's getting real sick! If he dies, our town will have its own chapter in the annals of food history! I think I need to go to the hospital. Not until you tell me what you think of my dish. I think he stopped breathing. A-live still. Did I hear five stars?! Task: "Collect Smoked Meats" (x200). Task: "Make Homer Drive Scotty to the Hospital". The job takes place at Hibbert Family Practice, Springfield General Hospital, Painless Dentistry, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. What the — Where am I? Good morning, Mr. Boom. You've been admitted to Springfield Hospital. Mr. Simpson drove you here himself. Yeah, and I've been waiting for twelve hours to hear the results of my dish. Was it amazing? Or just great? I feel terrible. Oh, don't worry. You'll be fine. All you need is some rest and some of Springfield Hospital's famous Jell-O here. Try some! What happened to me? Don't leave the man hanging. Try the Jell-O! It'll give you all the strength you need to gasp when I tell you what's wrong with you. Fine. *takes a bite* I...I can't taste anything! I've lost all sense of taste! Your taste bud cells all exploded from the radiation from that rib meat. Hmm... If that's true, then that means you won't know if Springfield's cooking is good or bad. Yeah, I suppose— Here eat some more Springfield Jell-O. *eating Jell-O* I taste nothing. Then that means Springfield's food tastes the same to you as all the food you eat in New York. Woo-hoo! Springfield is a culinary capital! I think I'm going to throw up again. Well, one little silver lining for you...you won't taste it. *chuckles* Quest reward: 100 and 10 Scotty Boom
