Scooby-Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost

Plot

The gang heads to the Rocky Harbor Inn after Fred’s uncle Bobby Flay invites them. Fred is caught off guard to discover his uncle is a renowned chef. Bobby gives them a tour, pointing out a portrait of their ancestor Edward Flay. They also meet Bobby’s cat, Nacho, who lends Scooby a paw.

The locals haven’t turned up any leads on Edward’s disappearance. Bobby leads the group to a state-of-the-art cooking arena, where they encounter Giada De Laurentiis and her cat Bella, plus Marcus Samuelsson and his wife Maya Haile. Groundskeeper Jeremiah Noseworthy pops in, mutters about a red ghost, and leaves. Bobby explains that when Edward vanished in 1780, he was by himself in the inn, and witnesses heard him shout “Red Ghost” before he disappeared.

The inn sat empty because of the ghost, but since reopening, visitors have spotted it. On TV, Gail promotes the upcoming show and interviews Jeremiah, who blurts out that Edward was a traitor. Nacho spots Skip Taylor saying he’s leaving due to Red Ghost stress, but Skip changes his mind and goes back to rest. Businessman Bradley Bass tells Bobby the inn is a gold mine, but Bobby won’t sell.

Daphne rushes to Bobby, saying something’s happening in the arena. Henry Metcalf, who wrote a famous book about the inn, arrives and hands Bobby a folder.

He explains that during the Revolutionary War, Edward served soldiers and wrapped their meals in those papers for take-out. At the show that night, the animatronics go wild, caused by the Red Ghost, which scares off the audience. The ghost chases the gang, but Velma blasts it with a fire extinguisher, and it vanishes.
