Dish Deception

Dear Dairy,

Wow finally one of those restaurants recognized my culinary genius and gave me a position as a chef! 

Even though it is clear as day that I am the best cook in town, maybe even in the country I still need to show the boss. Maybe then I can soon take over the restaurant. 

My colleagues Jim, Bill and Jeff really do seem to think they are better than me though. Just because they have been doing this for 10 years doesn't mean they are better than me! 

Seems like I need to make sure the dishes they make are not as well received. Maybe if they cause us to get enough bad reviews the boss will make me head chef by next week!
So the plan is easy:

1. Cook tasty dishes (an easy one for me!)

2. Sabotage my colleagues dishes (especially the ones from Jim, he is a real prick)

Luckily I was able to steal one of the menu plans for next week from the office. I can learn the recipes in advance now!



But I gotta make sure to also have a plan for sabotaging their dishes...maybe I can use the salt to ruin the taste of their dish? Or cut up some chillis to spice up the dish way too much. I mean the easiest way to ruin their food would be by just burning it or stealing their ingredients but I gotta make sure they dont catch me doing it!


Regards,

The best chef around

A few hints on the side:

  • If you get stuck press R to unstuck :)
  • Sabotaging the dishes is only possible while in stealth mode. So in the case you want to oversalt an enemies dish: Grab the salt, go into stealth mode and hold interact with the dish in question.
  • You can win the game by getting to a score of 250 first without being spotted (mind the suspicion meter at the top). Mind you: Points are only awarded for dishes that were actually ordered.
  • You dont have to salt or spice to sabotage the other chefs. You can also move their plates to slow them down, misplace their ingredients or try to steal their dishes and hand them in before them.
  • All assets (except fonts) were made by us :)

Diary Entries

Greetings from the kitchen




Dear Dairy,

today we received word of the delicious theme for this Pyweek.

We all set out to create the perfect recipe for success and hopefully find the right combination of ingredients to create a great menu...ehm game.

We have outlined the menu for the big night and now the ovens are warming up, the broth is starting to cook and we are deciding upon the right spices to use.

The kitchen team apologizes for the delay, one of the dishes received a bit more salt than was intended. The first screenshots will be served shortly.

Regards,

Appetizers


Dear Dairy,

we made the most of our day and added a lot of bits and pieces that are needed to build the foundation of our menu. The plate has been prepared, every pot has something boiling up and our pans are sizzling with all kinds of amazing stuff!

However something is odd. I could have sworn that my tomate soup was perfect and just ready to be served...but when I came back it was way to spicy and I had to start all over again.

I think the only one close to it while I was gone is coffee. I think he is up to something.

Regards,

TheCardi🐝s

PS: Here are the appetizers we promised.

Something's wrong in this kitchen ...



Dear Dairy,

Today, we were up early in the kitchen and got to work right away! It was a lot of fun carrying the dishes and figuring out exactly how some of the tools work.

I was personally very busy preparing a stew made from almost all the food our kitchen has to offer. It was going great, and I absolutely nailed the taste! However, when I left, it burned so badly it even caught fire. I could have sworn I didn’t increase the heat... I did see Freezerino walk past the stove, though. Maybe he had something to do with it? Something is definitely wrong here...

Anyway, we’re making good progress, and by tomorrow, the starters should be ready!

Goodspeed,
TheCardi🐝s

Famous visitor and starters


Dear Dairy,

Today, we got a lot of things done and were able to finish many of the core components of our menu. We even had a very famous visitor drop by and help us in the kitchen. With his help we were able to finish the starts in no time.

We also reached the point where our sous-chefs started attempting to complete their own dishes! All that's left to do is to prepare a cookbook for them to follow, and they’ll be able to make even more dishes.

Interestingly enough, right after we spent time with our guest, the fryer stopped working. That was a real bummer as it slowed me down a lot. Come to think of it, I didn’t see Heuser anywhere when we were talking to Gordon. Maybe I should keep an eye on him...

Alrightspeed,

I DID IT


I HAVE DONE IT!
I BECAME THE GREATEST COOK!
Not by learning how to cook better, but by SABOTAGING my friends and colleagues!
I have spiced their soups, I have salted their ice-creams, I have burned their steaks into ash, swept up under the kitchen tiles.
Noone suspected a thing!
They were too occupied with blaming their own lack of skill. Little did they know, their greatest adversary was me, all along.
So long suckers!
