I played both but got bored with Cooking Dash. Gordam Ramsey is more interactive with group goals and duals. It's fun! Cooking Dash became a chore for me.
I like fast feet, aquacotta and either deconstructed hawla, or ginger noodles. If u can save up for the auto chef, do it!!! It's sooooooo worth it. The recipes take way too long to put together , even if you've maxed out ur upgrades.
Have u upgraded the eating speed to the max? Mine's maxed out but the last customer takes a while for me too. You may need to use Loon Goh or Erica Nicola VIPs.
