The iconic SpongeBob Squarepants is turning 25 years old and, to celebrate the special anniversary, Nickelodeon and Paramount are bringing their Krabby Patty Kollab to Chicago, allowing city dwellers to devour food items inspired by the iconic Krabby Patty all around the city. How often have you dreamt of trying the instantly recognizable burger?
Starting tomorrow, October 8, through October 27, participating locations will start serving dumplings, burgers, ice cream, donuts and more created specifically with the Bikini Bottom recipe in mind.
