As part of SpongeBob SquarePants’ 25th birthday bash (cue the jellyfish jam), Nickelodeon and Paramount are teaming up with restaurants, chefs, and even celebs to bring you over 100 different takes on the legendary Krabby Patty. That’s right—Mr. Krabs’ closely-guarded formula is still a secret, but apparently, anyone with an apron and a wild imagination can give it a shot!
Welcome to the Krabby Patty Kollab! It’s like your taste buds just won the lottery, but instead of money, you get a buffet of Krabby Patty-inspired dishes. We’re talking everything from Krabby dumplings to Krabby doughnuts, and yes, even Krabby ice cream—because clearly, Bikini Bottom has never heard of cholesterol.
According to Sherry Liu, Senior Vice President of “I’m In Charge Of All The Fun Stuff” at Nickelodeon and Paramount, SpongeBob first flipped these bad boys 25 years ago. And now, to celebrate, we’re all invited to munch on our version of his culinary masterpiece. “Though the formula remains a secret,” she said, “SpongeBob fans can now savor an artistic interpretation of the Krabby Patty.” Which basically means chefs will be winging it—but hey, if a sponge in square pants can master the grill, how hard can it be?
The culinary chaos begins Tuesday, October 8, with Krabby-inspired creations landing in over 250 restaurants across the globe. And when we say global, we mean it! We’re talking New York, London, Toronto, Mexico City, and everywhere in between. It’s practically an international SpongeBob scavenger hunt for your taste buds.
But hurry up, the Krabby Patty invasion only lasts until October 27. To find a restaurant near you that’s dishing out these Bikini Bottom-inspired bites, swim over to KrabbyPattyKollab.com! Just don’t forget to bring your appetite… and maybe a life preserver. You never know when you’ll need one at a Krabby Patty food fest!
