It's restaurant week at Bistro Bay! Restaurants compete in food challenges while planning an epic meal to impress a famous critic. As one of 1-5 players, you send your chefs into the city to collect ingredients so you can prepare amazing meals and show that your restaurant is the best in town.

Each round, new random ingredients are placed in different locations around the city. Players simultaneously and secretly plan which locations to send their three chefs to, hoping to gather the best ingredients. Some chefs are fast but can only carry one item, while others can carry three items but arrive later. Rumors are also available at locations that provide insight into the critic's wishes.

Challenges, revealed in rounds 1 through 6, offer players the chance to earn stars by creating dishes with specific ingredient requirements. After round 7, players must create an epic meal to impress the famous critic and satisfy their wishes. A multitude of different critics, rumors and restaurateurs ensure that every game is different!
