I have been playing every day for 6 months now and am not disappointed. I have to say if you are patient, fast, and a good player, you won't have to use real money to get ahead. The boosts and prizes you get while playing are more than enough. Right now, I am on my way to Seoul and I just can't wait. Thank you, Big Fish, for this amazing cooking game!”
