New game
When you select a save slot to create a new game, you must choose which chef to play as:

"He's got no time to talk because he's here to cook, and cooking is what he does best! He doesn't even have time for a name, so everyone calls him Chef."
 * Guy Chef

"They say she's mumbling, but she's actually just too busy (planning her next dish no doubt) to form any actual words. Conveniently enough, she too is simply referred to as Chef. Isn't that something?"
 * Gal chef

HUD
"When an ingredient is being heated, an icon will appear which shows how hot the item is. The green area is "perfectly cooked" unless a customer likes their food under or over cooked. For ingredients with 2 sides (such as burgers or eggs) each side cooks independently and the item must be flipped when one side is perfectly cooked. For items which are stirred (such as pasta) the bottom arrow needs to be in the green for the item to be perfectly cooked, and stirring the ingredient will help regulate the temperature"
 * Cooking meter

Restaurants
