I platted the game, so yeah I'm a cooking boss. I always roll with like +300 hp, +30% attack/defense/score. just go for the boss foods, add all 3 condiments, and stir and serve and eat. i was trying to feed derek some good food last night, lol. my son just kept putting the controller down and walking away, im like dude get back to your character, lol. he is 4 tho.
you need to boil/fry and eat every food in the game tho, so get a checklist or something. but those are great bonuses. and you really should quest a bunch at a time in a row cuz the score/gold/etc bonuses are huge eventually. i gotta run in like an hour but we can do some epic runs later. im supposed to 'work' but you know how that goes.
