## Episode summary

The episode begins at Castle Leonardo, where King Leonardo is once again complaining about the lack of quality food at court. Seeing only three options on the menu, King Leonardo demands a greater variety of food that is very instant. The next day, outside of Peppermint's Table, Chef Peppermint is premiering a new food dish using a gas stove, and only Leeko is excited about it. As Milly tries to talk Peppermint out of it, he is suddenly abducted by King Leonardo's soldiers and taken to the castle. Sir Pathogen then tells the abducted chef that he and his crew need help preparing new dishes for the king, and Chef Peppermint agrees to try. After serving King Leonardo his pineapple and "puke fish" special, Leonardo becomes so outraged that he tosses Chef Peppermint into the castle moat. Out of other options, King Leonardo decides he will spy on the Puffies to see what they prepare at him, hoping to find at least one good recipe from them.

That evening, Snowdrop invites Leeko to come eat with her family at their home, and the dinner is spied on by King Leonardo using the trusty Spyhopper robot. Later that night, Leeko is treated again when Parker asks him to eat his leftover food, and a third time when Chief Gordy invites him to dinner as well. Watching all of this, King Leonardo and Tommy grow incredibly jealous of Leeko's good fortune. In order to get in on the Puffies' generosity as well, the two hatch a plan by announcing the next day on Channel Lion Out Loud a new game show where King Leonardo heads to each household in Puffy Town to "review" their cooking and give them a rating. The winners of the game are promised a cash prize, which gets many of the viewers' attention. On the show, King Leonardo then announces that he will start with Sir Chanter's family, leading them to quickly prep their home for the cameras and then send the kids to get a steak to prepare.

That evening, King Leonardo and Tommy barge into the Chanter family's living quarters with their film crew for dinner, as Leeko and the kids are left to watch on the couch. While King Leonardo is having the steak, he specifically taunts Leeko by showing the food off to the camera. After finishing several stacks of plates, King Leonardo gives Sir Chanter's family a five-star rating, and announces they have won five million dollars, which gives everyone else watching hope that they could win a similar prize, and gives Chef Peppermint a reason to despair. Later that night, Milly bemoans what may end up happening as a result and tries to get Leeko to stay out of it, but seems to have other ideas. The next day, King Leonardo and his crew have their second dinner at Whitehead's house, where the family has gone to great pains to prepare a lavish banquet. As King Leonardo eats, he taunts Leeko once again by telling him he cannot join in, which causes Leeko to salivate while groaning. After finishing the meal, King Leonardo gives it four stars and award Whitehead's family four million "smackeronis", saving the fifth star because the dessert was "a little to fruity".

The next house is Daisy's, though the family was not actively prepared and leaves King Leonardo with nothing but an open can of "mystery meat". Milly starts to see this show for what it is and complains that King Leonardo is bullying the town for a good meal. Later on, Parker serves King Leonardo a big plate of noodles at Stop To Shop, but Tommy discovers that the food in question was from packages that had expired. Parker explains that she normally has Leeko take care of this for her, but King Leonardo does not mind too much, and gives Parker one star for the effort, as Leeko continues to watch and despair at his lack of food. As the show goes on, Tommy realizes that there is not enough money left to offer up prizes or even to pay his salary, but King Leonardo brushes him off. The next day, they visit Mayor Bay's villa for the next episode as Tommy's mood has noticeably soured. King Leonardo decides to give Mayor Bay's dinner zero stars despite the mayor claiming it to be the finest lamb in the kingdom. Seeing this, the rest of the Puffy Town residents becomes even more anxious to please King Leonardo with a good meal.

From there, King Leonardo heads over to Chief Gordy's, where Beatrice has prepared the most elaborate dinner and setting to date. After struggling with the chopsticks, King Leonardo substitutes for a spoon and digs in, and Tommy worries that if Leonardo gives them a good rating, his salary will be gone. To prevent this, he sabotages the main course crab by sneaking in copious amounts of red pepper into it. This ends up working, but Beatrice assumes foul play and demands to see the footage. Tommy is forced to comply and shows the video of him tainting the dinner, leading King Leonardo to chase him down and force him to swallow some red pepper spice as punishment. From there, King Leonardo decides to order some unspoiled crab from Nebula Enterprises, but naturally, they send Leonardo a giant crab called Crablin which proceeds to attack him instead. After King Leonardo gets caught by the monster, Milly forces him to cancel the show in exchange for Leeko's help and he agrees, so Milly tosses Leeko a frying pan to he can gain the Chef Copy Ability. Using this ability, Leeko places his giant frying pan onto the Monster delivery system to heat it up, and then - gathering unknown incredible strength - tosses the giant crab monster into the frying pan to cook it. Seeing the product, King Leonardo decides he does not want crab anymore and walks off, leaving Tommy trapped in the crab's roasted claw. The episode ends as Milly quips that not even Leeko could eat a monster that big, but Leeko proceeds to prove her wrong by vacuum-mouthing it.
