Hacker finds the part he needs to fix his Magnetic Magnotube — a machine that would disable Motherboard forever — in a most unlikely place. All he has to do to get it is win a cooking contest on the hit Cyberspace TV show, "The Fearless Chef". Hacker’s plan? To kidnap his competition. But the [=CyberSquad=] is on to him. The girls go on a rescue mission to save the Fearless Chef, while Matt and Digit take on Hacker. Digit is already a celebrity chef, so this should be a piece of cake. They must race the clock and Hacker to cook three delicious dishes in three outrageous locations. Will Digit beat Hacker? Only time will tell.

* ChekhovsSkill: Digit’s history as a cook, which turns out to be exceptionally useful for a cookbook cipher in food-themed Aquari-Yum, entering bake-offs in "A Time to Cook"
* CookingDuel

to:

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Chairman Delicacy describes Digit’s salad as “a sweet and sour salad with special seaweed sauce”.
* BravingTheBlizzard: Digit and Matt get stuck in a blizzard on a floating piece of ice thanks to Hacker and Buzz’s sabotage.
*CellPhonesAreUseless: Hacker’s master plan to have all his food delivered to avoid cooking ends up failing during the last challenge as realizes he doesn’t have any service on Volcano Island.
-->'''Hacker:''' So much for "call anywhere from anywhere" plan!
* CheatersNeverProsper: As usual, Hacker’s cheating and sabotage does nothing to help him succeed.
* ChekhovsSkill: Digit’s history as a cook, which turns out to be exceptionally useful for a cookbook cipher in food-themed Aquari-Yum, entering bake-offs in "A Time to Cook"
Cook".
* CookingDuelCoincidentalBroadcast: When Hacker angrily questions Buzz and Delete where he’s going to be able to find another golden conduit, Delete hits the TV and it turns on to an announcement about the “Fearless Chef” competition in which the winner gets a golden chef’s hat.
* CookingDuel: Hacker and Buzz face off with Digit and Matt in a cooking competition in which the competitors have to cook in extreme locations all over Cyberspace.


Added DiffLines:

* DeliveryGuyInfiltration: A variation. Inez calls out to Delete, pretending to be a “cyber delivery guy” in order to distract him so she and Jackie can save the Fearless Chef.


Added DiffLines:

*DistressedDude: Hacker takes the Fearless Chef hostage in order to keep him from beating him in the cooking competition. He was hoping to win on a technicality when the Fearless Chef didn't show up to compete, but Digit and Matt end up joining at the last minute.
* EndangeredSouffle: The last challenge for the cooking competition is to make a souffle and, of course, like all souffles it was doomed to be deflated by a loud noise.
* FakeUltimateHero: Fearless Chef is seen by the public as a strong hero that can face any challenge, but, as Jackie and Inez learn, whenever he’s put in a dangerous or difficult situation he has a long list of excuses for why he can’t be of any assistance.
* InstantHomeDelivery: Hacker doesn’t actually cook any food for the competition, instead he orders each dish to be delivered directly to whichever crazy location they happen to be competing at.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: While on Glacier Pointe, Digit and Matt have to make their salad before a blizzard hits at exactly 9:43.
** The competition as a whole also counts, because the contestants only have a certain amount of time to cook all three dishes.
* RimShot: One plays when Digit changes his recipe from his “famous cyber beet stew” to “just plain stew” when his beets blow away in the wind.
* SlowMotionDrop: Happens when Digit and Matt accidentally drop the clock they were using to track the time they needed for each dish.
* SuddenlyAlwaysknewThat: While stuck floating away on a piece of ice, Digit is able to speak to some penguins and ask them to take him and Matt to Volcano Island.
-->'''Matt:''' I didn’t know you could speak penguin.
-->'''Digit:''' There’s a lot about me you don’t know, Matty!
* WingdingEyes: Hacker’s pupils turn into the golden chef’s hat once he sets his sights on getting it for his latest invention.
