“SpongeBob”-themed dishes are coming to Wendy’s and other restaurants

The Krabby Patty is coming to the real world.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Nickelodeon and Paramount are launching “The Krabby Patty Kollab,” a program to bring food inspired by the iconic “SpongeBob” burger to real-life restaurants.

Starting October 8, select restaurants, chefs and celebrities will offer fans the opportunity to try themed foods inspired by the show, including dumplings, falafel, burgers, donuts, ice cream and more.

“SpongeBob SquarePants began his career as a french fry chef by making Krabby Patties in the show's pilot episode 25 years ago, and the coveted burger has remained a staple in Bikini Bottom ever since,” said Sherry Liu, SVP Studio Franchise Strategy & Operations, Nickelodeon and Paramount. “Although its formula remains a secret, “SpongeBob SquarePants fans can now enjoy imaginative interpretations of the iconic Krabby Patty through this unique collaboration.”

“The Krabby Patty Kollab” program will feature over 100 “SpongeBob”-themed culinary adaptations at over 250 local restaurants in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Las Vegas and Toronto, London and Mexico City.

The program will be available until October 27th. The list of participating restaurants can be found here.

In the U.S., Canada and Guam, Wendy's is offering its own Krabby Patty Kollab Burger and Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty through early November.

Nickelodeon and Paramount have collaborated with Off The Menu and The MRG Group, who previously teamed up to create leading experiential, food-focused events.

“The Krabby Patty Kollab” is part of a slate of programming from Nickelodeon and Paramount+, as the two companies continue to produce a series of programs celebrating the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants.” This includes all-new original content across the Paramount ecosystem, location-based experiences, consumer products and games, first-to-market partnerships and more.

Next up is “Kreepaway Kamp,” a one-hour special premiering October 10 at 7 p.m. on Nickelodeon and Paramount+ in the U.S. and in additional territories later in the year.
