I’m happy to announce that the Extra Crispy Edition of Cook, Serve, Delicious is now available for PC, Mac and Linux! (Android and iPad users should already have the extra content in their game!)

Cook, Serve, Delicious! Extra Crispy Edition adds ten new foods to the menu, including an all new breakfast menu, exotic menu and rich dish menu for your customers. It also greatly improves the performance and music of the Mac version. This is the new standard version that replaces the 1.x version of Cook, Serve, Delicious! and is available as a free patch for current PC/Mac owners. You can find lots more info here.

I’m also happy to release the very first Linux edition of the game! It is available to demo and buy via the site and coming soon to the Ubuntu App Store.

For those who have already purchased the game, you can download the updated installer and simply re-install over the old game. Your save files will remain intact. Here’s how to do it:

Purchased here (BMT Micro): You can redownload the installers using your original download links and purchase information. Be warned however that if you download it to a computer that was not the original one that bought the game, the links wont work. Simply contact me and I’ll reset those links for you as soon as possible, or resend your download information!

If you bought the Combo of Awesome, you can redownload that package to get the new installer, or contact me for a separate installer so you don’t have to download 247mb again.

Purchased via Mac App Store: You should be able to update it through the App Store!

“Cook, Serve, Delicious! Extra Crispy Edition” Available Now – the First Hardcore Cooking Sim Gets a Massive Expansion Pack!

The acclaimed PC/Mac/iPad cooking sim gets supersized, as well as having a brand new Linux version available today!

ODESSA, Texas (May 6, 2013) – Vertigo Gaming is proud to announce “Cook, Serve, Delicious! Extra Crispy Edition” is now available as a brand new release/expansion pack for PC, Mac and Linux via www.vertigogaming.net, and is also available as a free patch for current owners of the game.

“Cook, Serve, Delicious!” is a hardcore restaurant sim, one of the few in its genre that gives players total control over where they want to take their restaurant’s future. You’ll start with a few thousand dollars and 20 foods to choose from for your menu, as well as a host of restaurant equipment and a virtual email account that connects you to the people of SherriSoda Tower. Nearly everything is unlocked from the start of the game for you to purchase; this is your restaurant, and you must figure out the best strategy to get your business packed with satisfied customers.

“Cook, Serve, Delicious! Extra Crispy Edition” tackles ten new foods for aspiring chefs to place on their menu, with a selection of both exotic and fan requested dishes ready to be sliced and diced. This all new round of culinary chaos requires even the most seasoned chef to refine their cooking methods as some foods demand the upmost perfection…or your customers will go home hungry and defeated.

With rave reviews from Touch Arcade (4.5/5- “a culinary tablet masterpiece”), JayIsGames.com (“[it will] captivate you for weeks on end”) and nominated for “Best Downloadable Game” for Giantbomb.com’s Downloadable Game of the Year 2012 award, “Cook, Serve, Delicious! Extra Crispy Edition” will be a tasty dish for anyone ready for a challenge!

• Obtain new stars and remodels for your restaurant as you complete goals on your way to the five-star restaurant class.
• Participate in extra challenges including catering for office parties, being on the Iron Cook television show and joining a mysterious tournament.
• Log into your virtual SherriSoda Tower email account, where you can read the latest from SherriSoda employees, make bets with Crazy Dave, go on dates via the “Cook4Luv” relationship service, fund projects via “clicknstart” and obtain rare items for your restaurant, book VIP reservations, monitor the weather for the next day, and lots more.
