Synopsis[]
Anne gets a job at Stumpy's restaurant, then goes overboard turning the diner into a Thai restaurant.
Plot[]
Anne and the Plantars are attempting to make a pizza when Anne shows off her dicing skills to Hop Pop. She reveals that she and her family owned a Thai restaurant called Thai Go, hence her cooking abilities. When Sprig blows up the oven, the gang decide to go to Stumpy's Diner. While ordering, they overhear an obnoxious critic named Albus Duckweed complaining to Stumpy about his food. Anne confronts Duckweed about his hurtful and mislead criticisms. When Duckweed taunts her, Anne challenges him; give her and Stumpy two days to turn the diner around and Duckweed will have to give a positive review, if not he will give a negative one and shut down Stumpy's business. While frightened at what she has done, Anne nevertheless intends to keep her end of the bargain while Stumpy dismissively resigns himself.
The next morning, Anne shows up at Stumpy's to help fix the restaurant. Despite some hesitation, Stumpy helps Anne in cleaning up everything. Afterwards, Anne suggests that he have a total makeover of the restaurant and they work overnight to get it all finished. Stumpy's Diner opens now with a Thai theming and new dishes. The new set up catches everyone's attention as the restaurant begins booming with business. While trying to get the Plantars a seat, Anne and Stumpy discover that Duckweed came in a disguise. Despite the huge improvements, Duckweed still intends to give it a negative review, leaving Anne and Stumpy no choice, but to make a new dish specifically for him.
Anne and Stumpy bring in a large Kraken and have it prepared for Duckweed, but once they bring it to the table, it comes alive and starts attacking everyone. Anne and Stumpy team up by first spraying its eye with lemon juice and then killing it with a meat masher. Duckweed suddenly changes his mind. He found the experience of food trying to eat you as artful and decides to give the restaurant a positive review instead. Stumpy thanks Anne for helping him with his diner by telling her that her parents would be proud.
