Everyone loves [[Leah MacGrady|Mrs. MacGrady]], the school's cook for the cafeteria, with her warm friendly ways and her excellent cooking. Until one day, while Buster is keeping record for the school lunch and making predictions for that day's lunch menu in his school lunch almanac, he and his friends observe that she did not come to school, and her nephew, Skip Bitterman is the substitute chef. Skip is completely devoid of any culinary skills; the lunches became so appalling that the students cannot even eat them. After about a week without Mrs. MacGrady, [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]] reveals the shocking news that she is on leave because she has cancer. | Everyone loves [[Leah MacGrady|Mrs. MacGrady]], the school's cook for the cafeteria, with her warm friendly ways and her excellent cooking.

===Production notes=== | |||
*This is the first episode to be a remake of a previous one, in this instance, the [[The Great MacGrady (Season 13 episode)|Season 13 episode of the same name]]. | |||
**The reason for this episode being redone was due to a {{W|Lance Armstrong doping case|doping scandal}} that caused Armstrong to be stripped of his former victories in 2012. | |||
*Being that this episode is a remastered version from Season 13, [[Arthur Read]] and his friends are still in 3rd Grade and [[Francis Haney]] is still the principal. Everything stays the same, except for some minor adjustments. | |||
