** "Are You There, Bob? Its Me Birthday" has Bob tag along with Hugo to inspect a sandwich place while Linda is preparing Bob's birthday party. When Bob questions if the restaurant is really as bad as Hugo claims, Hugo makes a wager with Bob--whatever happens in there, Bob will eat a wrap once the inspection is over. Bob takes the bet without question, but quickly regrets it when Hugo finds such violations as chicken being stored above 40 degrees, a cleaning rag that has never been washed, and rodent droppings right next to the salad prep. When Hugo makes Bob follow through on the deal while reading off [[LongList every violation]] [[ToThePain he found]], Bob predictably ends up with food poisoning; and concedes that, while Hugo might be a dick about it, health inspection is actually a pretty important job.

* On ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral'', Plankton's camp food is always terrible. It's seen as an unappetizing MessOnAPlate that [[ItCameFromTheFridge is vaguely sentient]]. Even when he does try to cook a fancy meal, it ends up giving everyone food poisoning.

* In the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' animated special ''WesternAnimation/ItsTheEasterBeagleCharlieBrown'', Peppermint Patty tries to teach Marcie how to make Easter eggs, but Marcie can't get a handle on how to prepare the eggs. First, she fries them. Next, she tries cooking them on a waffle iron, then a toaster, and then putting them in the oven. Finally, with help from Patty, she boils them... but cracks them open first, resulting in "egg soup".

* WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'s grandmother probably wouldn't be such a bad cook if she weren't distracted by the other things she tries to do at the same time. (Buster Baxter gobbles her cookies right down, though.)

* WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': Arthur's grandmother Thora's one fault is that her cooking is downright inedible. As much her grandchildren love her, they usually do everything they can to avoid eating her meals, and even the adults would prefer that the cooking isn't left up to her. She probably wouldn't be such a bad cook if she weren't distracted by the other things she tries to do at the same time. (Buster Baxter gobbles her cookies right down, though.)

** Marge herself is implied to be kind of an uninspired chef ("''Eight'' spices? Some of those have to be doubles! 'Ore-gahno'? What the hell?"), but as her family just shovels it down anyways, there are no complaints. There's also a mention of her making Bart [[CordonBleughChef butterscotch chicken]] (which, oddly enough, [[http://www.101cookingrecipes.com/chicken-cooking-recipes/butterscotch-chicken.php people have actually made]]) on the Season 8 episode "A Milhouse Divided". Which is odd, since Bart had previously been established as being allergic to butterscotch...
