The best keyboard training program in existence.

More seriously: a charming, frantic and unique experience and a worthy successor to CSD!. It introduces many new mechanics such as Holding Stations (preparing food ahead of the time, making snacks to extend your guests' patience), Cook For Hire (you can work in other restaurants with a pre-set menu and earn medals based on your performance - a completionist's wet dream), designing your restaurant and a metric ton of new and delicious foods.

The only thing I dislike is that there are no food upgrades, but that is quite understandable if you consider just how much variety there already is. I do like that the default keyboard bindings will now usually be the same for a given ingredient across 90% of recipes - so tomatoes will pretty much always be bound to T. There are some weird exceptions (like Mango which can be bound do A and M within the same recipe) but overall it's a big improvement over some... somewhat inconsistent keybindings from CSD!.

And... is it just me being out of practice, or is this game harder than 1? Not that I'm complaining.
