Considering I spent countless hours watching Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, you’d think I’d picked up a thing or two about running a successful restaurant. The only thing seems to be his propensity for foul-mouthed tirades, discovered in just a few hours of Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator.
Opening night at the restaurant got off to a good start. We were flipping meat and chopping vegetables. It was a real cookfest. But we quickly got lost, one after another in an inedible, barely recognizable group, leaving customers hungry and frustrated. how do you bake a salad
Despite its slightly unpolished presentation, Chef Life can be pretty fun. You can start your day with a produce order and prepare for evening service if you want. Choose a dish on the menu and cook it when the door opens.
Cooking is mostly about time management and some actions with the right analog stick. Stir in a circular motion. You have to do it before the stir bar is full or the sauce sticks to the pan. Likewise, you need to flip a steak before it’s charred on one side, and get those chips out of the deep fryer before they get crispy and hollow like Nanna used to make.
If you do it well, everyone will be happy and you might leave a tip. Spend your hard-earned coins on new cookware, bistro decorations, furniture, and more. As you progress, you can learn new recipes and add new garnishes to old ones. Eventually you’ll have more chefs to help you out. And if you’re really struggling, there’s the option to lower the difficulty significantly, and if that’s your preference, the game cools down considerably.
