The food court: It's a haven for hungry and thirsty patrons as they go about their lives, but for some, the food court is life. Every restaurant wants to attract the most customers, tailoring their menu and hiring famous chefs to work in their kitchen. In the end, only one will be the most successful. You wanna grab a bite to eat? In Foodies, players take on the role of managers in a food court. During the game, they will add new dishes to their menu, connecting the stars between different dishes. These recipes come from all over the world, granting different bonuses when added. What's more, players can hire chefs to work in their kitchens, including special, prestigious chefs who are the best in the business. In the end, the player who gains the most popularity will be declared the food master and win the game. —description from the publisher
