Epic Chef is a simulation adventure game developed by Infinigon Games and published by Team17 released on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in late 2021.Zest is a budding young chef who has just arrived on a new island full of constantly feuding chefs. He is soon tasked with the goal of uniting the people on the island with his own culinary skills.Zest must traverse the island to get the resources needed to grow the food he needs on a farm and must then use the food items to craft new dishes. The dishes are given to other chefs who must then try the dishes in food fights. Zest's primary way of combat on the island is through food fights.

Cool Old Guy: The two doctors. They both help Zest identify and hatch Birch's egg free of charge. Zest notes in his journal that they're good people, and one of the activities in Ambrosia after that is to have a friendly chat with them.

Defeat Means Friendship: There are a few examples, but the biggest is Mitrielle. She starts out as a rival to Zest, scheming against him, but later on they end up becoming friends.

Corrupt Politician
 Epic Chef (Video Game) / int_45cd286c
comment
Corrupt Politician: Apart from the city guards, the aristocracy in Concordia tend to be very corrupt as well. Later becomes a plot point. The reason Zest came to Concordia specifically is because he's magically bound to a book of blackmail. While this would put a target on his head anywhere else, the Concordian aristocracy wouldn't give a damn about their dirt becoming public.

The Empire
 Epic Chef (Video Game) / int_556a4e20
comment
The Empire: The Homogony fills this role, being an elf-supremacist state that tried to conquer the world and is still sending out spies to destabilize its rivals. Ironically, an old Empire that used to rule and was destroyed during the Nearpocalypse does not fit this trope, being portrayed as a stabilizing force more than anything else.

Foodfight!: Played in a different way. The game's combat system consists of challenging fellow chefs to a "food fight" where Zest and the other chefs have to try each other's food.

Took a Level in Badass: Zest. He begins the story as a fugitive and a stowaway, thrown arriving in Ambrosia with little to his name. Over the course of the game, he defeats all the great chefs in the game, becomes the co-owner of the best restaurant in Ambrosia, and becomes co-holder of the title of Epic Chef.

Hired Guns: Adventurers are part of Concordia's society, though they are barely tolerated. While they do defeat evil villains and cults, they're also known as thieves. Being called an adventurer is taken as an insult, and Zest states hiring the Orc Mafia is more sensible than hiring a band of adventurers.

Magic Misfire: It happens a few times, especially when the Infinigon is involved. This costs the Festumancers their duel with Zest. They tried using magic to charm the King into granting them the victory, despite Zest and Mitrielle's dish being far superior. Their magic was sabotaged, briefly turning the King into an octopus.

While they don't officially become a couple, Zest seems aware of and receptive to Frishka's feelings, with him dancing with her in the celebration at the end of the game.

At the end of the game, he reveals that the Homogony murdered his family during the last war and he came to hunt down Homogony spies.
