Sure, Armand. Anyways, as I was saying, I make the most wicked barbecue this side of Georgia.


georgia is not known for its barbecue :confused: silly euro devs

the big regional variations of barbecue are carolina, kansas, and texas (carolina is the best) with other outliers which are generally just combinations of these traditions or local variations, with the exception of alabama barbecue, which is utterly disgusting. but there's no particular barbecue tradition or dish associated with georgia

Holy poo poo, I just noticed something on the Cinnamon buns recipe:



Five hundred and sixty-two grams of sugar? That's more cinnamon than in the Crepes Marcie!

Also a kilogram/two pounds of flour??? Is this a banquet dish or something?

562,5 grams of brown sugar
there's also 150 additional grams of white sugar at the bottom

At the end of the LP you should totally make a restaurant/s that have only the absurd recipies on them, and then write up a what-if kitchen nightmares episode where Gordon Ramsay goes to one of those restaurants.

So chefs earn experience for specific dishes as they cook them. But do they gain experience in the overall styles, like french mains, as well? Or is that just a fixed talent value telling you which kitchen closet to stuff them in and you're done?

I am seriously enjoying this thread. I've never heard of this game, but honestly, this is great. The recipes are RIDICULOUS with ingredient proportions and it's funny seeing what comes up with next, I look forward to it. :allears: Please tell me we get more American chefs with crazy nicknames.

Absolutely we are! This is America, every American has a cool nickname!

That's one and a half pounds of sugar for breakfast. That wouldn't even give you diabetes, you'd just die instantly.

Yeah, exactly. Chefs quickly get XP for individual recipes, but they also very slowly get XP for broader classes of recipes, like French mains or Italian desserts. So if your chef has 40% skill at French mains, for example, and you add a new French main to your restaurant, the chef will cook it at 40% skill until his recipe-specific skill gets better than 40%.

Although this is very convenient for updating the menu at your restaurants, because it means that customers won't complain about the new dishes being cooked by an amateur, it's not particularly useful in cooking competitions because a chef will cook a recipe vastly better at 100% skill than at, say, 70% skill. I think the last time I played this I had Armand at 100% skill in a couple of categories by the very end of the game, but for most of the game you'll still have to train any recipes you want to use at tournaments.

The recommended daily allowance for sugar is 25 to 38 grams per day, with the average American consuming 82 grams per day.

That's 8.5 times the amount of sugar the average American eats per day, and 28.5 times the amount recommended for a small woman. In a single meal!

Which Carolina? South Carolina mustard based?

Anyway, I for one think that Armand is extremely sincere about this, especially since his cooking staff has consisted entirely of men up to this point. Pic unrelated.

It means he has no skill set. He is alive, that's it. It's terminology used in kitchens to mean someone is poo poo.

Well, if his main quality is that he has blood in his veins and can do simple labour, isn't "The Man" a perfect nickname? It implies absolutely nothing about him except that he's a guy who works at the restaurant. Stan "Ecce Homo" Mazowski.

The real reason is that he gave himself the nickname :ssh:

I remember my dad bringing home this game on CD out of a bargain bin. I was really terrible at it and I don't think I ever made it too far, probably because of never figuring out that the clocks on recipes are a lie and make some stuff total garbage. Kinda nice to see it broken open, in more ways than one.

This LP is art :allears:

Thats 2 3/4 cups of brown sugar. Which, if you are making the filling fir a dozen good sized cinnamon rolls, is about right. I use 1/2 a cup of white sugar in my dough and 2 cups of powdered sugar for my frosting too. But that's my recipe.

Edit: Also Kansas BBQ is best and I will fight you on that.

You just overturn a Tupperware container with a huge pile of cinnamon onto her plate, then delicately place a single crepe on top.

I'm going to guess it's a pound of brown sugar compressed into the shape of a cinnamon bun. With melted icing sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top for extra authenticity/lethality.

Glancing through the recipes, some of them are at least sorta feasible, although "good" is going to be an, uh, challenge.

I might give mixed pork casserole a try this weekend - I dunno how casserole-y I can make it, but I think at least edible is a reasonable bar to clear.
