Oh man I remember playing this game and I had no idea what I was doing because I played this when I was like 10. I agree with you I never met a single other person who played this, and thus never mentioned it to anyone and did a double take when I saw this pop up here. I tried installing my old disk, but its scratched to poo poo sadly and wouldn't run. Enchanted Hat posted:That sounds disgusting, but yes, probably. I figure he is just using something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_stick except swap crab for prawn juice? Jack2142 fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Jul 4, 2018 |

In regards to customer spending if you click on them they have an abstracted $$$$$ from 1 to 5 which I think corresponds to how much they will pay. It also depends on time of day, people showing up between lunch and dinner so like 3-5 only seem to buy soup or appetizers. The annoying thing about the campaign is you can't set dinners/lunches like in the sandbox mode until later in the campaign (I don't think this is a spoiler) where you can add 4 courses + wine at a set price slightly cheaper than ala carte and people will spend more on the stuff. Also some recipes are just bafflingly better than others or much worse. I think the game dev's really love the Mixed Casserole of Pork, because it legitimately is the best main course recipe for French Cuisine for like 2/3rds the game. Also like half of the American recipes are seafood, and all the steak ones are pretty low quality for some reason... so if you open a steakhouse like the best thing on the menu is probably going to be a goddamn crab cake.  Mussels are also really good imo, in that they are terrible, but they cost like $1 and a couple seconds to make so you make like $15 of profit on each meal, especially if your chef is good at cooking them they can be ~okay~

Enchanted Hat posted:Oh yeah, I didn't think about the former colonies. In my defence, she doesn't really look like an Algérienne! It makes sense, though, because there was another white customer at Treize à Table with a Vietnamese name, and I was wondering why that was. It'd be nice if the game would actually include some non-white characters and NPCs, though! Well there are some black chefs you can hire in the USA. They are about as subtle as our friend the Don.

Enchanted Hat posted:There's exactly one black guy in the Restaurant Empire universe, and I don't want to spoil that yet, because I remember those scenes being pretty great. Some of the non-story random NPC chefs can be black, that wander in and ask for a job. I hired two that way.

I feel like someone accidentally keyed 100 instead of 10 which would still be ridiculously cinnamony, but not lethal levels of the stuff. Or they just have no clue about cooking like how the Mixed Casserole of Pork has like 8 tablespoons of peanut oil in it.

ultrafilter posted:The pound of cinnamon is a bit much, but the mixed pork casserole might actually be edible. Going with the third party china translation theory, these seem to be the closest approximation to the Mixed Casserole of Pork that I could find online. https://www.womanandhome.com/recipes/normandy-pork-casserole-recipe/ https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/creamy-slow-cooked-pork-casserole/ For the record both have like 1/4 the amount of cooking oil as Armands Dish Jack2142 fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jul 17, 2018 |

Someone should do a show like binging with babish, but instead of terrible TV recipes terrible Kitchen Empire recipes.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:The reason it's so cheap to make is that the "steaks" weigh a lousy 50 grams! Indeed, there seems to be hardly anything to this recipe; 5 grams each of olive and capers, 20% of a lemon, some garlic, 7.5mL of olive oil, a quarter-onion, and the aforementioned 50g tuna. I have to think that the actual dish involved multiple tiny steaks, or something; the proportions don't seem that awful but the portion size is terrible. This is Restaurant Empire, you either have illogical proportions or mediocre portions in pretty much every recipe. Also ignored in the wake of the "WTF"??? microwaving fish recipe. (which I was waiting for this thread to encounter because of just how disgusting that is) YOU DON'T loving MAKE CHICKEN CUTLETS IN A FOOD PROCESSOR!!! Seriously that recipe is apparently turning the chicken breast into a paste then making chicken nuggets? and also not frying them no wonder the recipe is so bad. This gets me because chicken cutlets are really easy to make! Get those cheap frozen chicken breasts, thaw them out and pound them flat. season them coat them with some salt, get some breading i like using panko and making like a chicken katsu, and then just pan fry them in a skillet.

Coat the walls in the crab wall decor to remind customers the only decent dish in here is the crab cakes. Also put the microwave fish on the menu...

That baked Oysters recipe is almost identical to a recipe I have for Normandy-Style Mussels.

Enchanted Hat posted:I'm not sure I can actually do that, I'm not aware of any cheat code that unlocks all the recipes and ingredients. That said, there's a restaurant sandbox mode, so I can start up a sandbox game with each of the three cuisines and show off any recipes that they give you that we didn't get in the campaign if people are interested. Are we not going to do RE2?

Enchanted Hat posted:Where is that guy even getting those descriptions? I have no idea how you look up recipe descriptions in this game. There's an entire untapped reservoir of stupid to make fun of that I never knew about! I think the original game (not the RE2 steam copy) had descriptions or maybe it was in the guide pamphlet games used to have. Or he might just have looked up descriptions online somewhere for similar recipes.

I swear in the original version of the game the new secret super chef mentions Armand's dad died of diabetes no joke.
