[Kelp reading]

[Chef J] It's time to reveal
my latest dish.

I'm so glad you two
will be the first to try it.

[gasps] Dad.

Just on presentation alone,
these are spectacular.

Freeze.
To get the full experience,

you need to first tap
the butterfly with your horn.

Well, go on.

Wow!

[both] Mm!

This is the best thing
you have ever made.

I'm officially impressed.

Thank you kindly,
my little taste-testers.
Now get to tasting.

It's like exploding sparkles
in my mouth.

It tastes twice as good
as it looks, and that's a lot.

I've got a lot more
where that came from.

Chef J, how come your food
is always so good?

Well, Kelp,
anyone can flip a fluffer-nut.

But dip it
in some whipped bippy blossom,

and you've made something
truly original.

Are you sure that's gonna taste
good together?

Only one way to find out.

Ah! So good.

Hmm.

Mm! My taste buds
are having a party.

Glad you like it.
I'll leave you two to finish up
your taste bud party.

I just love your dad.

Yeah, me too.

It was nice of him
to make us something so special.

In fact, he always makes us
such yummy food.

He does.

[gasps] Kelp,
I just got the best idea.

We should make him
something extra yummy
for a change.

-That is the best idea, Ollie.
-Right?

But how do we do that?
I've never made food before.

I've watched my dad do it
so many times.
How hard could it be?

What are you two
whispering about?

[both] Nothing. [giggling]

[Kelp] I've never seen
a land garden before.

It's so colorful.

My dad always comes
to the garden first.
To pick what he's going to make.

What should we make?
There's so much to choose from.

We pick a bit of everything.
Just to be safe.

Hey, Ollie.
What's this?

Smiley smiley fruit.

[laughs] Good one.

I'm galloping!

Juniper, be careful.

Bon appétit.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, son.

Can I show Kelp the prep area?

I just love the food bowls,

and wanna show Kelp
how bowly they are.

We're making you a surprise.
We can't tell you
because it's a surprise.

Coincidentally,
I was about to take a break.

You're welcome to use
all the bowly bowls,
and anything else you see.

I'll just be over here.

Uh, I mean, way over there.

Chef Ollie.

Just like your dad.

He's got style.

Okay.

Where to start?

You love crunchy tacos, yeah?

Me too. And what do we love best
about our crunchy tacos?

[both] The crunch.

Let's make something crunchy.

Easy. I knew cooking
would be a breeze.

These foods look crunchy.

Samba leaves, check.

Konoko shells, check.

You're good at this.

[grunting and crunching]

I'm fairly new
to the crunchy and all,

but this is very [grunts]
crunchy.

[straining]
I can't swallow.

Hmm. I want my dad to be able
to swallow. We should go
for something more chewy.

Yes, please.

Some honeysuckle syrup here,

and a little bit
of fluffy bippy blossom there,

and there you go.

[grunting]

Well?

It's chewy.

I don't think Chef J
is gonna like that.

Not if he wants to keep
all his teeth inside his head.

Ugh!

What now?

[Kelp] Um...

Maybe we try
cooking with colors.

Of course.

If we mix the same color foods
together, they'll definitely
taste amazing together.

Maybe.

Ooh!

Too sour.

Ha! [groans]

[burping]

Too burpy.

[gasps] Too spicy.

Thanks.

[sighs] Cooking is hard.

I wanna make something
spectacular, fully up
to the Jinglehooves legacy.

But so far, we've got nothing.

Zero, zilch, nada.

[Kelp] Hey, Ollie.

-Ee!
-[Oliie giggles]

Thanks, Kelp.
I needed a laugh.

You know, smiley smiley fruit
is my dad's favorite.

Ollie, that's it.

-What's it?
-Let's make Chef J
smiley smiley fruit.

Cooking means we make something
by mixing things together.

Otherwise, we're just giving him
a smiley smiley fruit.

And that's
not spectacular at all.

[sighs] I wish we could
ask my dad what to make.

But we can't,
because it's a surprise.

Ollie, you solved it again.

I did?

-Ask Dad.
-Huh?

But not your dad, my dad.
The other great chef around.

But hurry.
My dad could be back
any minute now.

I'm on it.

So this smiley smiley fruit

is sweet and soft,
you say, right?

But not sticky, stretchy soft.

We tried that.

Blech.

Hmm.

Now try this. It's my super
special ingredient.

Salt.

Sprinkle that on anything,
and it will be: Mwah!

What's it taste like?

It tastes like where it's from,
the sea.

Thanks, Dad.

Make us chefs proud.

I present to you salt.

Here, try some.

Okay.

Here goes.

-Blech.
-[gasps]

This will not go
with smiley smiley fruit at all.

Smiley smiley fruit is sweet,
and this tastes
like licking beach rocks.

Uh-uh. [grunting]

It's worth a try.
My dad says it can make
anything taste: Mwah!

I don't think
that will taste good
with smiley smiley fruit.

You also didn't think
that fluffer-nut dipped in bippy
blossom would go together,

and that was delicious.

That is true.

Okay.

-Maybe we should just try it.
-Uh-huh.

-You try it.
-Actually...

I'm feeling pretty full
from all the trying.

Someone needs to try it
before Dad gets back.

I'm galloping!

[both] Juniper,
something for you to try!

-Yum, best Chef J dish ever.
-[both gasping]

-Actually, I created this dish.
-[Kelp clears throat]

Actually,
Kelp and I created this dish.

With the help of a super
special ingredient from my dad.

Kelp, I'm sorry
if I hurt your feelings

when I said
that your dad's salt tastes
like licking beach rocks.

That's okay.
My dad did say
it tasted like the sea.

Who would've thought sweet
from the land and salt
from the sea would go together?

But they do.

Kind of like Kelp, huh?

-[gasps] Chef J.
-Close your eyes, Dad.

[laughs]

Don't worry, Chef J, I got you.

Now open.

Uh-oh.

Try it, Dad. Come on, try it.

Ollie, my tasting spoon, please.

I got this.

[grunting]

[gasps] This is delicious.

You know, I've never tasted
anything like it before.

It's sweet, and there's
some crunch in there from...

What is this?

[both] Salt.

Salt.

From my dad.

From the sea.

So you kids searched
all over the land, then went
all the way under the sea,

to find the right ingredients
to make this truly
original dish for me?

I'm real proud of you, kids.

And I think I'll be using
this surprise combination

in my own cooking from now on.

Salty and sweet.

Isn't that neat?

These two things
don't seem to go together.

These two things are not alike.

But what do you get
when you mix them together?

-[both] What?
-Salty and sweet.

[both] Neat.

Now, who's doing the dishes?
