Synopsis

It starts out when SpongeBob is cooking Krabby Patties. He makes several krabby patties and falls in love with one, naming it "Patty". The patties are taken to customers who start wolfing down on the food. Consumed by guilt, SpongeBob rescues Patty by replacing her with a shoe.

SpongeBob shows Patty around his home. Patrick and Sandy arrive, only to question SpongeBob's desire of the sandwich. SpongeBob ignores their judgments and goes off to do numerous activities with the sandwich; such as going to the fair, rescuing it from hungry clams, and riding a boat down a river. They go down a waterfall and SpongeBob puts the sandwich back together.

Six hours later, the patty has spoiled. Oblivious to this, SpongeBob decides to take it on a date. Later at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob informs Mr. Krabs about his date. Mr. Krabs thinks he dating a girl, and finds it strange when he discovers the date is a krabby patty. At a point during the date, Squidward tries to tell SpongeBob that his date is just a rotten krabby patty. SpongeBob still thinks Patty is beautiful until he smells her, then sees the hideous appearance of the expired patty.

SpongeBob questions how this came to be. Mr. Krabs tells the fry cook that he once fell in love with a krabby patty. He then tells SpongeBob that krabby patties are meant to be loved and eaten. SpongeBob finally knows what he must do and eats his date, feeling nauseous afterward.

• In German they call this episode "Burgina" which means Love A Patty.
• In Dutch this episode is called "Allerliefste Krabby" which means "Sweetest Krabby"
