Source is from episode 168. It has been years since my wife and I watched through Naruto, but we still joke about this episode regularly. It was just so silly and so obviously filler that it was hilarious to us.

      Yeah, this is the cooking competition against the Ninja Chefs.

      I agree. This episode is probably one of my favorite filler episodes because of how silly they got with it, but it still felt consistent with the characters. I would rather see filler that is original content that is in character rather than a flashback-filled reminiscing episode where nothing happens.
