Description

It's Restaurant Week in Bistro Bay!

Gather the best ingredients to complete meal challenges and delight a celebrity critic. Do well and you'll be known as the best restaurant in Bistro Bay!

Players simultaneously and secretly send their 3 chefs out to gather the best ingredients. Some chefs are faster, while others can carry more ingredients, so planning is essential. Savvy restaurateurs keep their ears open for rumors which tip you off to what the critic most desires. A multitude of different critics, rumors, and zous-chefs means every game is fresh!
