The unique cooking time management game, Hot Dish graces our casual gaming library once again with its sequel, Hot Dish 2: Cross Country Cook Off. This time around, you're already a well established cook coming from the original game, and since you've proven yourself worthy of cooking glory, it's time to pit yourself against other American chefs in order to reach the top of the country's culinary expertise.

The game actually started after you've been invited to participate in America's Gourmet Grand Prix. In this competition, you'll be taken to the test as you try to prove yourself against the many recipes famous in various select parts of the U.S. You must clear all the challenges and try not to be eliminated, so that you can get yourself closer to the elusive Grand Prix Gold Medal by proving to others that you are worthy of being the country's top chef.

Stories aside, Hot Dish 2: Cross Country Cook Off actually plays just like the original game where you try to prepare various dishes within the shortest time possible. In each level, you have a quota number of stars you need to achieve. Reach this quota by following all of the food preparations as accurately as possible and by planning all your moves so that the ingredients won't stay unattended for very long. In the end, multitasking is really inevitable, but I'm guessing that's what this game is aiming for anyway.

Aside from stars, you can also earn prestige points by satisfying the judges and initiating combos during the actual time management game. Prestige points will earn you gadgets and power-ups whenever they reach certain levels, and these tools can be used to better your cooking or even inspire you to use strategies when already playing against the clock. Just remember though that you can only bring one gadget to the actual game to enhance your cooking prowess, so choose wisely amongst the dozens available for you to use.
