Carrying a Halloween basket full of treats, Bandit the Service Dog visits Sir Dino and Patton Oswalt while away from home for the weekend, and Andrew Zimmern stays up all night cooking a sweet potato dish and pasta for all the dogs at Band Camp Friday.


In a quaint little town, where the pathways are adorned with the whispers of ancient times, Sir Dino McRex, the time traveling dinosaur, finds himself amidst the green foliage. Alongside him is the hilarious Patton Oswalt, cracking jokes and keeping the spirits high.

Suddenly, they hear a rustling. Emerging from the bushes is none other than Bandit the Service Dog, carrying a festive Halloween basket in his mouth! Bandit, his light tan coat shining, is in town for the weekend to participate in the most prestigious event – Band Camp Friday! His black collar jingles with medals of honor.

The time dino, excited by the sight of all of the goodies in the basket, greets their old friend, the warm and generous service dog. Patton, in awe, exclaims, “What wonderful gifts do you bring us, oh noble Bandit?”

Sir Dino tries to reach for the basket with his tiny arms, and Bandit, being the good service dog that he is, politely hands it over. The basket is a treasure trove! There’s a bag of Manischewitz extra wide egg noodles, probably for a carb-loaded meal before the big band performance. But what’s this? A tiny Halloween pumpkin decoration is also hitching a ride! It’s smiling as if it knows a secret.

Just then, the aroma of something divine wafts through the air. Sir Dino’s nostrils flare, and even Patton’s stomach starts to rumble. They follow the scent and find themselves at the doorstep of none other than the culinary maestro, Andrew Zimmern!

His chef’s hat askew, Andrew looks like he’s been through a culinary marathon. His kitchen is a whirlwind of pots, pans, and ingredients. He excitedly tells them that he’s been up all night perfecting a savory sweet potato recipe that would make even the most ferocious dinosaur weep with joy.

Bandit, always the helpful service dog, offers the Manischewitz extra wide egg noodles from his basket. Andrew’s eyes light up! He decides to create a pasta dish to accompany the sweet potato recipe for his website. Gathering around the kitchen, Sir Dino shares stories of ancient herbs from his time, Patton cracks jokes that make the pots shake, and Bandit offers a paw in assistance.

Hours later, they sit down to a meal that transcends time – a fusion of ancient flavors with modern twists, and a pasta dish that has the noodles dancing in harmony with the sauce. It is a masterpiece of taste and texture, and as they finish their meal, Andrew, with a heart as big as his culinary skills, packs the leftovers in Bandit’s basket. He tells the brave and loyal service dog that these are for all the other dogs at the band camp. Bandit’s tail wags with joy.

They all head towards the band camp, where the air is filled with the sounds of barks harmonizing with trumpets and drums. As they enter, Bandit is greeted like a hero. The other dogs can smell the aroma of Andrew’s dishes wafting from the fragrant leftovers, and they begin to yelp and drool in anticipation of a delightful feast.

Sir Dino, his voice booming over the approving cheers of the puppies, announces, “Behold, Bandit brings gifts from the great chef Andrew Zimmern!”

Skillfully holding the decorative basket in his mouth, bandit the Service Dog shares the tasty sweet potatoes and pasta with the hungry canines and musicians. The dogs dine like kings and queens, their tails wagging in unison.

As Band Camp Friday ends, they all know that this was no ordinary day. It was a day where time-travel, comedy, culinary arts and the spirit of sharing came together to create magic.
