Mung Daal has always been an accomplished chef, and to prove this point, he hangs his official certifrycate on the wall of his kitchen. However, when a member of the Expired Certifrycation Enforcement Agency lets him know that his certifrycate is expired, Mung Daal’s Catering is shut down. In order to get his business back, Mung Daal and Chowder head to Reuben’s School of Certifrycation, where they’ll have to toe-the-line in order to get their lives back on track. However, as the two soon learn, the certifrycation process is nothing to sneeze at.

Episode Quotes |

Mung Daal: This is my domain! I am the master of this kitchen! Do I need show proof?!
Truffles: Oh, here we go again.
Mung Daal: Shnitzel, lights please. Behold, this! My certifrycate! Please note the gold enforced seal of authenticity! Please note the signature of the commissioner of the culinary arts. Please note the small man removing my certifrycate and walking away… Hey! Hey! Can I help you?!
E.C.E.A. Employee: Yes, Expired Certifrycation Enforcement Agency. This certifrycate here is expired; you can’t operate without a valid certifrycate. I’m afraid we’re gonna have to shut you down.
| (Mung Daal is considering ignoring his order to get a new certifrycate)
Mung Daal: Expired? Hah! A good chef never goes bad!
Truffles: You better get that new certifrycate or you’re gonna be the one who expires!
| Mung Daal: This should be a piece of cake for a chef of my abilities; I’ve been cooking for three-hundred and eighty-six years, after all.
Ms. Endive: Is that what you call it? Cooking? It’s fun to pretend, isn’t it.
Mung Daal: (angrily) Endive…
Chowder: (angrily) Endive…
| Reuben: Good morning, class. My name is Reuben, and I will be your captain on today’s culinary cruise. Here we have our happy little boat: the S.S. Yum-Yum! Look at how it sails smoothly! Toot-toot! That’s because it follows a recipe!
Mung Daal: I think I’m going to be sea sick.
Reuben: What’s that on the horizon! Look out, it’s a recipe pirate! Naughty recipe pirate hates following recipes! Boom! Crash!
(Reuben makes the two model ships crash into one another)
Chowder: Oh, no! The Yum-Yum’s going down!
Mung Daal: Um, excuse me. Can I have my certifrycate now?
Reuben: You want it now?
Mung Daal: Uh, see, I’m a professional chef. I already know how to cook. If I wasn’t, would I be able to do this?
(Mung Daal balances a spoon on his hand as circus music plays)
| Ms. Endive: Now, Panini, always start with the finest ingredients.
Panini: (staring at Chowder) Oh, I am.
Ms. Endive: To achieve the proper temperature…
Panini: Uh huh.
Ms. Endive: We must measure the flames…
Panini: Uh huh.
Ms. Endive: And select the right pot…
Panini: Totally.
Ms. Endive: Of course, handle in…
Panini: Uh huh.
Ms. Endive: We then gently pour our water…
Panini: Uh huh.
Ms. Endive: Now, give it some privacy…
Panini: Yeah.
| (Mung Daal has created a motorcycle that throws flames on a pot of water)
Reuben: And what do you think you are doing?
Mung Daal: Toiling water! Any two-bit chef can boil water!
Chowder: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
Mung Daal: Ah, yeah! Yes, sirree! When it comes to cooking, I like to take risks, and that’s why the ladies love me!
| Mung Daal: Okay, Chowder, no more mister nice guy. We’re going to follow that recipe, get the certifrycate, and get back to business.
Chowder: Right.
Mung Daal: Step One: bread. Okay, this is going to be a piece of cake.
Chowder: You’ve said that the last time.
| (Reuben has just eaten Ms. Endive’s sandwich)
Reuben: My dear woman, this if fantastic!
Ms. Endive: You will find that everything I do is fantastic.
(Mung Daal approaches Reuben and gives him his sandwich)
Reuben: This looks promising.
(Reuben eats Mung Daal’s sandwich)
Mung Daal: Well?
Reuben: I don’t like mayo.
Mung Daal: But I followed the recipe! Exactly! The recipe calls for mayo!
| Reuben: Will it be the peg-leg or the eye-patch?
Chowder: Peg-leg!
Reuben: Eye-patch it is.
| Reuben: For out final exercise, we will be testing your dexterity and wrist techniques. I need you to simply cut a piece of cake.
Chowder: Piece of cake! Right Mung?
Mung Daal: I, I, I, I don’t know what to do.
(The scene changes to Mung Daal’s mind, where his true self is battling his false self; a mix of him and Reuben)
True Mung Daal: You have to put yourself into it!
False Mung Daal: No, silly, you must follow the rules.
True Mung Daal: Recipe, shmecipe; you go with the flow!
False Mung Daal: Stop, the customer’s always right!
True Mung Daal: Let yourself go!
False Mung Daal: Stay inside the lines!
True Mung Daal: Feel the food!
False Mung Daal: Cook by the book!
(The scene changes back to real life)
Mung Daal: Piece of cake?! Woo! Piece of cake?! Oh! Piece of cake?! Oh! Piece of cake?! Ah! Piece of cake?! Oh! Piece of cake! Woo!
Reuben: I’m a little confused. I don’t see any cake cutting. What do you have to say for yourself, hmm? Huh? Hmm?
Mung Daal: Cake… Cake… Cake… Cake… Cake… Cake… Cake…
| (Reuben is holding a big hand, motioning for Mung Daal and Chowder to walk the plank)
Reuben: I can’t tell you how let down I am. You really were my favorite pupil. But, recipe pirates must walk the plank!
Mung Daal: What’s that big hand for?
Reuben: Oh, it helps me make my point!
(Reuben uses the giant hand to make Mung Daal and Chowder walk the plank, and fall into the dumpster)
Ms. Endive: How unfortunate, but that’s what happens to those who have no business in the kitchen.
Panini: (sighing) Garbage never looked so dreamy.
| Mung Daal: (sadly) I don’t understand, Chowder. All these years I thought I knew what I was doing… What kind of chef can’t even get a stupid certifrycate?! I might as well hang up my smock.
Chowder: No! You are the greatest chef in the world! And… And… And… (singing) I believe you can cook! You should believe, ‘cause I believe in you! You just have to try and trust your gut that it can put food on plate! ‘Cause you’re the best chef in the world! And everything I learned, I learned from you! Even if I didn’t understand a word! On the wings of an eagle…
Mung Daal: Chowder… You’re right! I don’t need a stupid certifrycate to be a chef, but I do it to make a living as one!
| Reuben: Congratulations, ladies, your certifrycate for a job well done.
Panini: (happily) We did it, Ms. Endive!
Ms. Endive: Was there ever any doubt, my dear?
Reuben: Let me just sign this for you.
(Ms. Endive looks at her certifrycate and notices that Reuben added his phone number towards it)
Mung Daal: Avast, ye’ maties!
(Mung Daal, dressed as a pirate, jumps down from a rope and steals Ms. Endive’s certifrycate)
Mung Daal: See ya’ later, suckers!
Ms. Endive: Uh, my certifrycate!
Reuben: Well, I guess we’ll be spending some more time together.
| Mung Daal Behold, my certifrycate of authenticity! This document here-by states that I, Mung Daal, am a certifryed chef.
Truffles: Ah, yes, you did it again, honey. You set the place on fire! Again!
Mung Daal: It’s what I do, baby, it’s what I do.

Episode Goofs |

Mung Daal claimed that each certifrycate had to be signed by the commissioner of the culinary arts, though at the end of the episode, the certifrycate he stole from Ms. Endive was only signed by Reuben, a mere cooking instructor.

Cultural References |

Visual: A small green man man, wearing white overalls and a red helmet, takes Mung Daal’s certifrycate.
The small man in question is a reference to Fraggle Rock, a puppetry based show that debuted in 1983. In that series, there was a race of creatures known as Doozers, who looked practically identical to the small man in this episode.
| Reuben: My name is Reuben.
While the name “Reuben” fits in the show’s theme of naming every character after a type of food, the name is also a reference to Paul Reubens, who provides the voice of the character. He is most well known for his portrayal of Pee-Wee Herman, a character he created in the late 1970s.
