On a quaint, sunny day, a steamy shower of rain drenches Sam and Guy just as they wake up. In the midst of the stormy weather, Guy finds a letter from his friend Michelle, in Yookia, who has created her own successful gourmet food market. As they venture out in search of shelter, they stumble across a familiar character - Snerz's assistant (circa Season 1). She no longer works with Snerz and instead works at her own green eggs and ham food truck, which serves some delicious smoked ham and eggs dish; it is truck number 3! As they continue their search for shelter, Guy and Sam find an unanticipated bonus - a collaboration between Michelle's Yookia market and her food truck, give them a chance to combine their green eggs and ham, with Michelle's Yookia seasonal delicacies. The duo jumps at the opportunity and eventually find themselves aboard a train, headed straight for Yookia.
In Yookia, they meet up with Michelle, and are ecstatic to witness that she is a true celebrity in Yookia, adored by fans and customers alike. Michelle gives them a tour around her magical market, showcasing herbs, fruits, vegetables, meats, and all kinds of delicacies. Here, they realize how different their worlds are from the big cities they come from. Michelle is a celebrity while Guy and Sam are still struggling to find their place. As they are happily sampling all the yummy flavors run into some technical problems with their food truck.
Enter: Billy, a young inventor who can't help but notice Green Eggs and Ham truck's disarray. He offers his help to the duo, and Guy is hesitant; however, Sam is intrigued by the idea of having some new wheels for their truck. Billy offers to make them a hovercraft to help them deliver their food in a more timely and efficient way. As their truck gets a much-needed facelift, Guy and Sam encounter the town's infamous gang, the Three Little Pigs. The gang enjoys playing tricks on hapless locals, and they've found a new target in Billy, who they believe is a nuisance to their town.
As Guy and Sam are getting ready to participate in Michelle's high-end food festival, they can't help but be knocked off course by the Pigs. They try to dismiss the danger but find themselves in trouble, when the Three Pigs end up running off with the hovercraft, and Billy's scientific tools. With no means of transport and techless, Guy is completely surprised when Sam pulls out a manual car, apparently waiting in the wings the entire time.
With a car as their only means of escape, Guy and Sam break through the flurry of obstacles posed by the Three Little Pigs, to make it in time to the festival. With the Green Eggs and Ham truck, as their mobile kitchen, they team up with Michelle's stall. Together they create the most incredible dishes, and their food is an instant hit amongst the festival-goers. The Three Pigs come back, begging to be a part of the collaboration once they realize they never had food before quite like the food Guy, Sam, and Michelle is dishing out.
With everything back to normal, and Yookia fans fawning over Guy and Sam's green eggs and ham, the gang decides it's time to head back home. They bid farewell to Michelle and Billy before climbing into their car and driving off, with a new dose of confidence and a sense of achievement.
