Plot

SpongeBob finds the grease trap under the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob grab all the grease and put it in a truck, dumping it next to the Chum Bucket. Plankton then has the idea of using that as food which makes Mr. Krabs and Plankton compete by putting, delicious, yet unhealthy grease into their food. They then start adding new food into their menus with lots of grease, to steal the costumers from each other that do not know that they're eating grease. In the end, the health inspector shows up to shut down both restaurants until the grease was cleaned.

Trivia/Goofs

Some scenes are similar to The Krusty Sponge (the sign moving scene), Best Frenemies (the health inspector scene), and The Gift of Gum (SpongeBob soaking up the grease).
This episode is similar to Jellyfish Hunter, and in both episodes Mr. Krabs promotes something that later gets him into trouble.
How is SpongeBob driving that truck if he doesn't have a driver's license?
Instead of bubbles changing the scene, there is grease - first time this has happened.
In this episode, the grease trap was under the Krusty Krab. But in Squeaky Boots, Mr. Krabs lifts the Krusty Krab and it's not seen. It's possible the boots were in the grease trap.
This is the 2nd time Mr Krabs is wearing glasses. The first time was in Overbooked.
Wouldn't the grease get all the fish sick?
A chair falls over by itself in the Chum Bucket.
How could SpongeBob call the Health Inspector so fast?
The title card music is the same as Karate Island, Wigstruck, The Thing, Friend or Foe, Roller Cowards, To Save a Squirrel, Krabby Road, Suction Cup Symphony, Patty Caper, Porous Pockets, Shuffleboarding, Overbooked, Pineapple Fever, and A Pal for Gary.
When SpongeBob is in the trash can and Mr. Krabs kicks him, he goes rolling off a cliff, yet there is no cliff near the Krusty Krab.
