Changing things up from the physical restaurant locations in the first and second games, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! will task players with running a food truck across a war-torn America in the year 2042, daring to take on the Iron Cook National Food Truck Championships.
If the change in setting has you nervous, take heart: the game will feature the recipes found in the second game, as well as a healthy heap of brand new recipes to whip up on the road. It’s sure to be extremely stressful, as it was meant to be.
The official Cook, Serve, Delicious! website has a few of the new dishes listed, looking just about good enough to eat. Bibimbap and banh mi? Yes, please!
This series certainly isn’t the only restaurant sim option out there — looking at you, Cooking Simulator — but you won’t find any other that so painfully (and temptingly) puts you through the menial restaurant task gauntlet.
It’ll be quite the wait for Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! though, and in Early Access no less.
Early adopters of the second game in the series will remember the grumblings over the second title’s issues around release and developer Chubigans’s efforts to add features and fixes in the months after. The Early Access route is the right one for this arthritis-inflicting food truck.
