Cook, Serve, Delicious! is a cooking-themed microgame game by David "Chubigans" Galindo, released for iOS, Android and Windows/OS X through the Steam Greenlight system in October 2013.The titular restaurant was once a thriving source of fantastic food, but then it declined in popularity, and fell into disrepair. You, the player, have inherited the restaurant, and have to complete a set of objectives to hopefully raise the restaurant up through the star ratings. Orders are served by completing various timing and keyboard-based minigames as quickly as possible, while also having to contend with various chores such as rat traps, increased litter, dirty plates and the toilet. On top of this, you're also getting attention from the host of a cookery-based TV show, along with regular supplies of mysterious golden tickets. Only by progressing through the star ratings can this become clear to the player.After becoming a surprise hit on its release, a sequel, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, was announced in July 2015 and subsequently released on September 13, 2017. A third game called Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! was announced in August 2019 and left Early Access on October 14, 2020. Finally, a remake of the first game, titled Cook, Serve, Delicious: Re-Mustard! was announced in July 2023, slated for a 2024 release.A spinoff game called Cook Serve Forever was announced in 2022. The game follows the story of aspiring chef Nori Kaga and her journey to rise to the top of the culinary world. | |

Darker and Edgier: Greatly downplayed thanks to the game's lighthearted nature, but CSD3 takes the post-apocalyptic America that the second game merely hinted at and throws you right into the middle of it with nothing but a food truck, two wise-cracking robots, and a dream. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: With low-earning foods and low Buzz, money is extremely difficult to earn at the beginning of the game, meaning that saving up for those vital food and equipment upgrades will be a very slow process. Once foods start getting upgraded and additional earning opportunities become available, this becomes much less of an issue. Washing dishes and throwing out the trash are also immensely time-consuming chores until you buy their respective first upgrades, making it hard to maintain a combo if they come up during rush hour. Extreme Difficulty introduces it in a different manner. You begin with four times the starting cash as Normal Difficulty, and the high Buzz and increased starting prep stations mean you'll be raking in money far faster, allowing you to afford new foods and upgrades with relative ease. Where this trope comes into play is with the massive increase in orders that both the Buzz increase and the Super Rush Hour provide; this wouldn't be quite so bad if not for the fact that you're still at early-game patience levels, meaning you'll have very little time to handle the massive influx of orders coming your way. Once you start unlocking the patience-boosting upgrades, things start becoming far more manageable (or at least as manageable as Extreme Difficulty gets). | |

All There in the Manual: The reason why you have to start with virtually nothing in a brand new tower in CSD2. Initially, you'd only find out if you read the Steam store page, while the game itself simply drops you into the new tower without any explanation as to what happened to the old one. The 1.5 update finally included an intro explaining this. | |

Suddenly Significant City: As a result of the war, a lot of the United States' major metropolitan areas have been destroyed and what are today much less relevant towns have grown to take their place. Your trip takes you to places like Boise, Idaho; Moab, Utah; Wall, South Dakota; Wichita, Kansas; Marietta, Oklahoma; Midland, Texas; Jackson, Mississipi; Mobile, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee; the latter being the U.S' new capital after Washington, D.C. inexplicably sunk into the ocean. | |

This is no coincidence; the game is actually the third sequel to a series of fan games named Ore no Ryomi. Posts in the developer's blog related to the first game are still even tagged as "Ore no Ryomi 3". | |

One last visual change for your restaurant, a brief congratulations message encouraging you to try out Extreme Difficulty... and that's it. Even more egregious in the aforementioned Extreme Difficulty, where the congratulations message isn't even any different - it still wants you to try the mode you literally just beat. | |

Bag of Spilling: An even more extreme example than the previous game: this time around, your old digs, the Teragon Supertower, was obliterated by artillery fire. With the USA apparently becoming too unstable to set up a static location, you take to piloting a food truck across the country, serving hungry customers at various stops along the way. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: A particularly nasty one involving burgers: if you have them on your menu but then quit in the middle of the day, the game will no longer recognize them as being on your menu for certain events such as bets, Cook4Luv dates, and VIP visits unless you take them off of your menu and then add them back on. Those going for Perfect Days will likely learn about this glitch when they inexplicably fail a date or VIP visit for not serving burgers despite having them on the menu. | |

Sequel Escalation: Surpasses the original in several ways: The sequel has a total of 210 menu items, i.e. seven times as many as its predecessor. Stars in the first game are earned one at a time, with five platinum stars being awarded immediately after the five star rank. The sequel awards stars in half-star increments every five YUM levels, including platinum stars (making for a total of 21 ranks vs. the original's 7). | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Salads are a relatively basic dish that earns you a somewhat lukewarm $12 once fully upgraded, but they're not subject to Menu Rot, add Buzz once you unlock Carryout Service, have only a small handful of ingredients, and the upgrades simply add more dressings. It's not uncommon for salads to be one of the first things players add to their menu at the start of a new game, almost never leaving once added. | |

Crapsaccharine World | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: Zig-zagged; unlike the previous game, where you learned of the state of the world primarily through emails and flavor text, here you finally get to see the current state of the country first-hand. Among other things, most of the East Coast (along with the entire state of Oregon) is completely underwater, much of the rest of the country is either a blasted wasteland or a sea of flames, Washington and Hawaii have defected to Canada, and Texas has seceded from the Union and built a massive wall around itself. As far as the game itself is concerned, Teragon Supertower from the previous game has been completely destroyed by artillery fire, and you are regularly attacked by rival food trucks. Yet overall, it's still the same silly, hectic cooking game it's always been. | |

Zerg Rush: Rush Hours - 60 seconds where EVERY order slot is full and customers are replaced almost as quickly as you serve them. And you have to deal with these twice a day. It's usually during these periods that experienced players make or break their Perfect Day ranking. The third game ups the ante by turning every level into a series of these, broken up by calm stretches that allow you to focus on restocking your holding stations and preparing for the next stop. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: A decently skilled player who normally puts high-scoring items on their menu each shift will typically find themselves unlocking the entire food catalog and completely upgrading their truck by the time they finish Newer Orleans, leaving them with nothing left to purchase but truck decorations... and once they’re all gone, this trope kicks into full effect for the rest of the game. This does come with the nice side-effect that you can coast through the rest of the game using the easiest menus the game will allow, since there’s no longer any incentive to deal with anything tougher. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Fitting for being the final stage of the game, the Iron Cook Speedway is a major step up from everything that's come before it. For starters, every shift now has VIP orders, meaning you'll randomly get Special Order foods in the middle of stops. Then the point requirements for most shifts are significantly higher than what they've been in the past, meaning you can no longer get by with the simplest dishes you can manage - you'll have to put tougher items on your menu. But the biggest monkey wrench comes with the food truck attacks: not only are there now at least two per shift, but your armor upgrades can no longer protect you, which comes as a huge wake-up call for players who have been able to ignore most of them for most of the game as they'll likely be completely unaware of what most of the attacks even do until they've been hit with them for the first time. Anyone can play the game, but the Iron Cook Speedway serves to ensure that only the best players can see it through to the very end. | |

Dynamic Difficulty: Buzz. The higher your buzz percentage, the more frequently customers will arrive outside of rush hour, meaning more money but also having a lot more to do and less time to breathe when rush hour ends. Certain actions and modifiers (such as getting perfect/bad orders, passing or failing a health inspection or earning a star) will raise or lower your buzz for the next day, and your buzz will even change throughout the day depending on the weather or what items are on your menu. | |

Interface Screw: Food truck attacks generally screw with your systems in various ways. Getting shot at usually results in at least one of your holding stations being knocked out for the rest of the day, ramming attacks can change your order queue or knock out any dishes currently in your holding stations, and hacking attacks can range from from blocking you from seeing Today's Menu, blinding your incoming orders before you work on them, or prevent you from seeing your cooking timer. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: At least a Regional Societal Collapse. As revealed in the Good Japan restaurant's description, by the time of the second game, great flooding had caused the entirety of Japan to sink into the ocean. Because of this, most of the populace took refuge in Canada, in an area newly-christened "Nova Japan". Many of the food and decoration descriptions also reference some sort of "Blue War" that, among other things, resulted in at least five different statesnote California, Nevada, Louisiana, New York, and Minnesota being bombed to Hell and back (with at least one of said bombings implied to be nuclear) and several other states going underwater. The CSD3 reveal trailer establishes right from the beginning that the US has devolved into Mad Max-esque anarchy. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: CSD2 requires an additional button press to complete chores, unlike the original which ended a chore as soon as all of its tasks were completed. Cue many a CSD veteran sitting dumbfounded at a completed chore, wondering why it won't go away. Ramen originally had the first ingredients to be added (Oil and Ramen Noodles) at the end of the ingredient list, unlike every other food which allowed you to read it left to right. This was later patched out. | |

Rinse and repeat until you're lucky enough to get six simple items that can be quickly prepped and sent out the door with minimal hassle. | |

The day starts with only a single second of patience, maxes out your prep stations and holding stations to 14 and 8 respectively regardless of how many you've unlocked, and sets your Buzz at 150%, at which point orders literally occupy your prep stations the instant they open up (which results in 14 orders immediately flooding your stations at the start of the day; combined with the aforementioned patience level, this basically forces you to pick three instant-ready sides in order to give you enough of a quick patience boost to prevent those orders from becoming literally impossible to serve in time). Then there are the Super Rush Hours, which force your patience down to one second regardless of how many sides you've prepped. Fortunately, outside of a handful of achievements, playing Stress Mode is completely optional. | |

Difficulty Spike | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_c6ae4c86 | comment |
Difficulty Spike: Trash removal is an extremely easy task: one button to throw trash into the can, and then sanitizer and you're done. But if you have a lot of dishes on the menu with the "Makes Trash" trait, the trash chore becomes a lot more difficult: one button to throw trash into the can, mash until it's crushed down, and then sanitizer. And it keeps getting worse as the day goes on, until you might be mashing the button a dozen or more times before the task is done. It's not necessarily more difficult, but the increasing consumption of time every time it comes up can absolutely mess up your orders. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of the float recipes, the Root "Baer" Float, is a nod to YouTuber and streamer BaerTaffy, who has extensively played through every game in the series. Baer gets another Shout Out at the start of the Iron Cook Speedway's Coffee Cup, which reveals that, despite being one of the best chefs in the world in-universe, he recently lost his hands in a tragic waffle iron incident. The "Dreamy Chef" trinket is a photo of Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef.* In fact, the picture in question is a monochrome, mirrored, and autographed version of the one on the show's page. All of the recipe names for chakalaka are references to NBA Jam: "On Fire", "Razzle Dazzle", "From Downtown", and "BOOM"* As in "BOOM chakalaka" When blocking a rival food truck attack, Cleaver may remark with the following: The achievement for getting a gold medal on New Orleans J-1 is called "The Typing of the Dead". The achievement for getting a gold medal on Nashville J-1 is called "Dawn of the Final Day". The achievement for getting a gold medal on shift F-3 of the Iron Cook Speedway is called "Gran Tiramisu". The first stage of the Iron Cook Speedway is called the Mushroom Cup, a nod to what is typically the first series of races in each of the Mario Kart games. | |

Next Sunday A.D. | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_ce68d46b | comment |
Next Sunday A.D.: Certain food descriptions in the sequel imply that the series is set in the mid-21st century, if not later (and possibly in an alternate universe). You can't really tell, though, based on the kitchen equipment and restaurant decor. The third game gives a more targeted time period: some time in the early 2040s. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: Placing down any ingredient results in a "thwack" sound. This can get very absurd if the player has managed to get very good at a given minigame and/or has rebound the controls, such as binding Q, W, E and R to the four initial ingredients of lasagna. Going into and out of Rush Hour has never been so grand. The Super Rush Hours of Extreme Difficulty take this up to eleven; when they start, your entire restaurant is engulfed in flames. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: To account for the fact that orders now come in large bursts instead of trickling in steadily over time (basically turning each stop into a self-contained Rush Hour), you can pull up an order listing between stops that shows exactly what orders will be coming in at the next stop, allowing you to plan ahead with your Holding Stations. There's now a special button that allows you to serve all orders that are ready simultaneously. This was done because the creator found serving multiple orders quickly with a controller was nigh impossible when having to select each order individually. Several of the more annoying ways to fail orders have been removed, tweaked, or made specific to certain higher-difficulty recipes; for instance, the game will generally no longer let you add too many of the same ingredient or perform an action like tenderizing meat too many times, at least in recipes where there's no reason you would ever want to go over the limit. Each level in 2's Chef 4 Hire mode locked you into a specific menu, turning certain shifts into insidious showstoppers that were absolute nightmares just to complete, let alone get a gold medal on. 3 changes this so that, as long as you meet a certain point threshold (if, indeed, the level even has one), you can make your menu as easy - or as difficult - as you want. While having a tougher menu earns you more money, thus allowing you to purchase new foods and upgrade your truck faster, if your only concern is progressing through the game, you can set your menu to meet the bare minimum point requirement and breeze through with relative ease. The Patience mechanic has been completely overhauled for Holding Station dishes, greatly extending the amount of time you have to serve them as long as you manage your stations correctly and have at least one serving of each dish ready to go at any given time. This helps to emphasize accuracy and resource management over the previous two games' focus on speed above all else. | |

Featureless Protagonist: While the protagonist is sometimes shown onscreen, the game is careful to show nothing but a massive chef hat that completely obscures their features; likewise, your companions use gender-neutral pronouns when talking about you. | |

Art Evolution: The food in the first game were fairly simple cartoony drawings, but in the sequels they're drawn more realistically with more details, and with the sheer number of new foods added to the game, it's not easy playing the game without feeling hungry. | |

Simple, yet Awesome | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_ea480f92 | comment |
Simple, yet Awesome: The trio of Wok dishes, despite being five-point items (and as such are supposed to be among the hardest dishes in the game), are much easier to prepare than other five-point dishes and even some four-point ones, requiring only two ingredients in the first prep phase and three in the second. Once you get used to which keys go with which ingredients (and even better, since they all use nearly identical ingredients, skill gained in one applies to all three), there's virtually no reason not to have them on your menu whenever they're available in order to make yourself some easy money. | |

Non-Indicative Difficulty | |
| Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Video Game) / int_fc2f4def | comment |
Non-Indicative Difficulty: Generally speaking, the higher a dish's point value is, the harder it is to complete perfectly and, consequently, the more money it earns you. However, some dishes' high point values stem almost entirely from their default key bindings, being relatively simplistic otherwise. If you change the keybinds to something more streamlined, then it's entirely possible to make a 5-point dish as easy as a 1-point dish, allowing you to earn lots of cash for far less effort than intended. | |
