Plot

Jerry becomes fascinated with a failing local eclectic restaurant called "The Dream Café" and befriends its owner Babu Bhatt (Brian George).

Meanwhile, George's girlfriend Monica asks him to take an IQ test for her education course. Worried about being embarrassed by the score, he asks Elaine to secretly take it for him. The plan backfires after Elaine takes the test at the Dream Café, where she is distracted by Jerry (who insists she order food to support Babu), by Kramer (who keeps asking her questions about the test), and by Babu (who spills food on it). Due to the distractions, she ends up with a low score of 85.

Jerry convinces Babu to change the decor and menu into a Pakistani restaurant but it fails terribly and Babu loses his money. He angrily blames Jerry for the failure, calling him a "a very, very bad man!" while waving his index finger (a trait Babu would repeat in subsequent appearances).

George begrudgingly agrees to allow Elaine to take the test again, which she does at Jerry's apartment. But just as she's about to leave, Kramer locks himself in after being chased by his mother's ex-boyfriend for stealing his jacket. By the time Elaine gets to Monica's house to give George the test, it's too late and their plan has been discovered. (Elaine is later happy to learn the new score was an impressive 151).

At the end of the episode, the group discover that the Dream Café has been forced to close and they wonder where to go instead for dinner. They each argue about what type of cuisine to eat. When Jerry says "You know what would be great?" implying it would be great to have an eclectic restaurant nearby, the others give him a look of disdain.
