The first Cook, Serve, Delicious! game came to PC and mobile devices in 2013. Selling more than a million copies, it was more than popular enough to warrant a sequel. Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2 was released for PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, as well as Mac and Linux.
Now we have word that a third entry into the series will be entering the Early Access phase in January 2020. It even has a listing on Steam already! At myPotatoGames, we’re always into a good cooking game, but the food in Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3 looks so tasty that we fear that playing it may expand not only our cooking repertoire, but also our waistlines.
We could go for one of these RIGHT NOW. Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3 is set in a war-torn country that is what remains of the United States’ in 2042. But you can still make gorgeous-looking food from all over the world. Noodle bowls, ratatouille, ice cream, grilled-cheese sandwiches, poutine…oh my! (Please ignore the drooling potatoes behind the screen.) The world of traveling cuisine has become quite rough in 2042. In this version, you will occasionally need to defend your food truck from competitors. If you don’t, you could lose time on the way to the country’s new capital city of Nashville, Tennessee. There you must take part in a cooking contest to prove that you are the best in the world!
Vertigo Gaming Inc hopes to have Cook, Serve, Delicious 3! in early access for 6 to 8 months and be able to release the full version in Q3 of 2020. No word yet on which platforms the completed game will be available.
For more deliciously related news, Cooking Mama is coming back! And it’s going to be on Nintendo Switch!

New enemies revealed for BurgerTime Party!, the latest installment in this classic series.
The BurgerTime series has been around seemingly since time eternal, or 1982, depending on your view of time. These games are 2D platformers in the style of the original Donkey Kong, and have had titles on many platforms, such as NES, CalicoVision, Atari and Gameboy (to name a few). Well, this classic series is getting a new platform, the Nintendo Switch, as well as an all new coat of paint and title.
Original BurgerTime In BurgerTime Party, you will remain as the classic protagonist, Peter Pepper. It is Peter’s job to put together all of the ingredients for his burger while avoiding the roaming enemies. These enemies now have a face with the recent update from G-Mode. Each of the whimsical enemies adds their own bit of difficulty by moving in different ways, whether it be to directly follow Peter, or wandering around at random.
BurgerTime Deluxe for Gameboy BurgerTime Party! was only recently revealed for coming to the Switch, and still has no release date. We cant wait to check it out, and add it to our list of our favorite food-themed games. With Overcooked 2 and Cook Serve Delicious 2 still on our plates, it will be tough to make room for! But as true games, we are always up for the challenge!
For more information on BurgerTime Party!, be sure to follow G-Mode on Twitter!
Images of the new enemies.
