Seconding AAH for a tacky restauraunt with tacky food.

What the gently caress is that recipe for "mixed casserole of pork"? 125ml of oil seems like a lot of oil for... anything, let alone a stew, while 75ml of stock is ridiculously low.

Don't need stock if you have enough oil.

122 grams of pork is about 4 ounces. It's not a tiny serving size, especially mixed in with casserole ingredients to bulk it up.

It's good to know that in this game of unbridled capitalism, our customers scam us instead of the other way around!

Is the price you put next to each dish the price we're selling it for or the net profit from it? And is it possible to make low-quality recipes better?

No, this is a quiche:



It's one of the new recipes we've gotten for the French restaurant. Inexplicably, this is actually being sold as a dessert. In fact, it's probably the best French dessert in the entire game, and will become crucial for winning dessert cooking competitions in the endgame!

"Seafood quiche" is as far from a dessert as you can probably get with an egg-based dish.

I would love to try these recipes but even if I knew how to improvise the recipes from just ingredients I'd be afraid that they may be uncookable instead of just unpalatable. As in you may have so much of one raw ingredient that it drowns out the rest and you can't actually mix it all without having fistfuls of powdery flour or cinnamon sitting in it.

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!

We're microwaving whole skin-on, bone-in fish. In a steakhouse. Three of them, in fact, but only enough to total 113.5 grams of fish somehow.

Is there a white fish small enough for that? Did the developers ever cook a meal in their lives?

Put it on the menu

113.5 grams is four ounces. Basically a single portion that would take maybe 3 bites to eat.

Man, I have a lot of things to comment on here. First, that shrimp dish probably sucks because you've got brown sugar flavoring it.

Second, "fish burgers with spicy sauce" is absolutely a dish I would eat...except that the "spicy sauce" is apparently made with sugar and 1/4 of a red pepper?

And finally, it looks like all of Tyrone's recipes are incredibly wimpy when it comes to spice content. These developers must be from the middle of Kansas with what they think counts as "so spicy the reviewers just can't handle it".

It's so we can sell it as "... in a white wine reduction.", I don't know what a spoonful of wine would reduce to but that's not my problem.

It's how we justify charging ~$21.00 for about 3 grilled prawns on a plate with no sides.

113.5 grams of prawns is, on average, 2.26 prawns. We've got two grilled prawns and a small piece of another.

The sugar is caramelized and burnt though, and they call it "basque glaze"

You have to burn the sugar after applying it to the prawns so you get that charred flavor that people still think is a good thing.

As an American chef, Renato presumably needs a nickname. "The Cleaver" seems... multipurpose.

Also, I love that the Fish Wellington was made lighter not by making any substitutions for the breading or sauce, but by adding minuscule amounts of three herbs.

It looks like it's lighter because it has barely any calories. 3.5 ounces of fish!

"Armand, we have to stop OmniFood! They've gone too far!"

This restaurant is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined from my drunk, off-the-cuff suggestion.

quote:

And how do I build new restaurants?

There are several plots of land as well as abandoned restaurants for sale. It must be because of the duel between OmniFood and yourself, that many restaurants have folded.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't be! This is a capitalist economy, after all! Besides, if you don't buy up those plots of land, I'm sure your favorite foe OmniFood will do so, and then what? It won't be easy fending off a whole slew of OmniFood restaurants!

And how do I build new restaurants?

It is very weird. I think at some point they say that OmniFood has something crazy like a 60% market share in the restaurant business, which must be like tens or even hundreds of thousands of restaurants. And we only operate in three cities, we can't possibly be noticeably affecting OmniFood's business.

The only way it makes sense to me is if this is an extension of the general "oooh, I'm so sick of OmniFood trying to destroy our business" sentiment even though they haven't really done anything to us. Armand and Michel are just extremely self-centred and think everything is about them, when really the board of OmniFood don't even know that we exist because they're busy managing a worldwide multi-billion dollar franchise. It'd be like McDonald's having meetings about how to sabotage Doobie's Doghouse.

And it's not like OmniFood is trying to destroy anyone's business with underhanded tactics! They're just scientifically making better food that they can sell for cheaper. The whole world would probably benefit from those advances!
