Summary[]
Steve and Blue have turned their house into a gourmet restaurant called Café Blue. They have got fancy tables and menus, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper as chefs and they cannot wait to begin serving food, with Steve utilizing his waiter skills. We help them out with this as they find that it is not as easy as they thought when they are missing some of the things they need to serve the meal for their friends. So Steve, Blue and Mr. Salt skidoo into a picture of a grocery store in order to retrieve the missing ingredients for a homemade spaghetti sauce recipe. By working together and using math, logic, and observational skills, we help them to prepare meals for Shovel, Pail, Tickety and Periwinkle, all while maintaining patience.

Trivia[]
- Freddy, Bowl, Cash Register, Blues Cafe Menu, Sidetable Drawer, and Mailbox are not seen at the end of the episode because they were very busy.
- This is the only episode where Mr. Salt skidoos. He previously appeared at the bakery (a skidoo segment) in "What Does Blue Want to Make?", but we don't see him skidoo then.
- Unlike the previous episodes, Periwinkle is shown outside of the Blue's Clues house (including the long episode "Blues Big Musical"), this is his first time inside of the house.
- Slippery Soap and Paprika are both absent in this episode.
- This episode can be found on the 2001 VHS of "Café Blue."
- The reboot has an episode theme that focuses on a fancy restaurant called "Welcome to Blue's Bistro".
- At the start of the skidoo segment, Blue was barking offscreen, but she skidooed back home early. Blue gets apple juice and carrot sticks for the customers.
- Steve's solution of mixing the apple juice together is only practical if nobody has started drinking it yet. Most restaurant patrons would likely not approve of this idea.
- The ice cream sandwich Steve mentions is a cookie ice cream sandwich.
- This episode is included on the 2001 VHS of the same episode and the first of two bonus episodes on the 2004 DVD release of "Blues Room Snacktime Playdate."
- This is the final episode for several things:
- The Season 3 finale.
- The final time the Play Blues Clues footage from Pool Party was used.
- The final appearance of the Snack Time idents.
- The final time Periwinkle was voiced by Cameron Bowen.
- The final appearance of the Snack Time idents.
- The final time the Play Blues Clues footage from Pool Party was used.
- The Season 3 finale.
- Valerie Riccardi, one of Steve's friends in this episode, is mentioned by her first name (Valerie) in the Video Letter segment.
- When Steve and Mr. Salt skidoo to the Grocery Store, background music from "Present Store" is used.
- The living room picture frame shows a picture of a fourth slice of pizza and half slices of apples in Math.
- This is the only episode to use a Handy Dandy Notebook variant that is not connected to the Notebook itself.
- Kevin skidoos on the right while Steve skidoos on the left.
- In this episode, "We Are Looking for Blues Clues" is interrupted.
- The ingredients Mr. Salt needs for the spaghetti sauce are green peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms, which are pizza toppings.
- Blueberry pancakes are made in the video letter, which will happen again as a surprise snack for Blue in Can You Help?.
- When Steve says, "To the (grocery name)!", a trumpet plays the last three Blue Skidoo notes, which is usually heard in the Race to the Thinking Chair music.
- In this episode, Mailtime happens after the skidoo segment. This happened for the first time in Environments.
Goofs[]
- Robert Iredell is also known as Robert A. Irdell.
- In the Pistas da Blue version, the Blue Skidoo music was out of sync when Duarte skidooed to the grocery store, similar to The Wrong Shirt.
- If Periwinkle had asked for the same number of carrot sticks that Tickety had, they could have shared one of Tickety's carrot sticks so they both had 5 carrot sticks.
- No sound was heard when Blue said goodbye to the viewers at the left window during the end.
