Have you ever wanted to star in a cooking reality show and compete to become the best celebrity chef there is? You can make that dream come true with Cooking Dash, a wholly addictive and easy-to-play time management game that will have you salivating with hunger. Playing as the fleet-footed waitress Flo, you must compete across dozens of seasons of reality television, serving up food to endlessly hungry customers. Racing against the clock and trying to remember every order is essential as you race around the kitchen in this exciting food-based quest!

Main Game Features

  • Compete in a reality food show
  • Fast-paced time management gameplay
  • Serve in over 35 restaurants

Story

Set after the events of Diner Dash, Cooking Dash follows protagonist Flo as she embarks on yet another cooking-themed endeavor. This time, instead of running a small business and serving customers to make ends meet, Flo dives into the world of reality television. As a contestant on a slew of cooking shows, Flo must prove her worth as both a cook and waitress as she competes in dozens of rounds to obtain victory. Bouncing between fancy steakhouses, sushi spots, and other wacky themed restaurants, Flo must use her talents to complete orders with blazing speed.

Like other simple games designed for quick play, the story in Cooking Dash is extremely basic. There's no real plot to speak of, as you must simply compete in each reality show season and perform to your best ability. Flo is joined by other characters from her previous adventures, including prep chef Cookie Cutter and the all-knowing Grandma Florence, but their appearance in the story is simply to serve the gameplay. As long as you don't expect an epic rags to riches tale, this reality show-themed story shouldn't be too disappointing.

Gameplay

Cooking Dash excels in its simplicity, combining gameplay elements from titles like Cooking Mama and Cake Mania into one fun package. Starting out with just a few items on your menu, you'll battle against the clock at the Table Steaks restaurant, serving up fries, chicken tenders, and more. Each episode is timed, leaving you only a few minutes to serve every customer and keep track of their orders. As you complete each episode, you'll earn silver coins, which can be used to upgrade various parts of the kitchen and unlock new restaurants to cook in.

Power-ups can also be purchased using gold bars, granting you extra coins per order or guaranteed good reviews from customers. Flo's outfit can also be changed up by buying new costume parts, with hundreds of options available. In terms of raw gameplay content, there's an overwhelming list of things to do, with over 35 unique restaurants to visit. New restaurant offers dozens of episodes to play, each with its own unique set of customers and recipes. Depending on how well you perform, you can earn up to five stars per episode, which helps you increase your overall player level.

Conclusion

Cooking Dash is a great time-management game that doesn't take long to learn and after a few rounds you'll likely be hooked. An occasional roadblock might force you to try out certain power-ups, which means you'll have to grind out the coins to purchase them, but the content still comes quick.
