Chef Life A Restaurant Simulator look’s like a blast from the trailers i’ve seen, not long now until the official release date on PlayStation. I wasn’t sure if i wanted this or not but im considering it once it gets a price drop.
Thanks, this has been really helpful.
would be helpful to tell us how much each makes. like the Beef carpacio makes three but when upgraded makes one
