Jim Krusty Krab Original Fry Cook ID Badge – SpongeBob SquarePants

Before SpongeBob flipped his first patty, one legend ruled the Krusty Krab grill — An EpicIDs Exclusive!

Meet Jim, the original fry cook of the Krusty Krab — the undersea culinary master whose reputation still echoes through Bikini Bottom. Long before SpongeBob’s enthusiastic “I’m ready!” chants, Jim was sizzling up perfection, setting the gold standard for Krabby Patties and employee pride. This collectible badge pays homage to that forgotten hero of the fryer.

Modeled after the in-universe credentials of the Krusty Krab’s finest, this ID captures Jim’s professional flair and humble beginnings. With maritime-themed design, signature badge layout, and classic series detail, it’s the ultimate tribute to the legend who trained a sponge — and left a legacy of perfectly grilled excellence.
