The culinary world bows to your palate.
Choose your destination. Travel costs airfare + 1 day.
A shady figure approaches with deals...
You're a rogue food critic traveling the world's culinary capitals. Buy rare ingredients low, sell them high, and build your empire before time runs out.
Each city has different prices for commodities. Buy low in one city, travel to another, and sell high. Watch the trends and sparklines for opportunities.
Flying between cities costs money and advances one day. Each city has unique price modifiers — learn which cities are cheap for which goods.
Only available in certain cities. Borrow cash to fund big trades, but interest compounds daily. Pay off your debt or face ruin.
Black Market Foie Gras and Stolen Recipes are contraband — highly profitable but they increase your Scandal meter. Too much scandal triggers an exposé that costs you cash and inventory.
Random events affect prices, give or take cash, and create opportunities. Encounters offer risk/reward choices. The black market appears rarely with steep discounts.
Permanent upgrades that give you edges — discounts, faster scandal decay, extra storage, and more. The ultimate perk is the AI Sous Chef ($1M).
Side quests that pay cash rewards. Deliver goods, hit profit targets, or visit specific cities.
