Recipe for Criticism

Recipe for Criticism Pt. 1

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 (4h) 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

Recipe for Criticism Pt. 2

After completing Recipe for Criticism 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 (1h, Krusty Burger, Minnie) Wow, that really didn't take long at all.

Screaming at people who are trying their best! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Recipe for Criticism Pt. 3

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 (12h, Luigi's or Brown House) 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

Recipe for Criticism Pt. 4

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.

Task: Make Minnie Become a Social Media Food Critic (1h, Moe's Tavern) 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

Recipe for Criticism Pt. 5

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!

No, I'm going to get a job driving around making food deliveries! Task: Make Minnie Work For A Food Delivery App (24h, Kwik-E-Mart) 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
