Cooking Fever’s Smokey Grill BBQ is a nice change of pace from the other restaurants. In addition to serving your customers as quickly as possible, you will also be stoking the fires, trying not to burn food, and slicing your cooked BBQ before it can be served. The addition of the Automatic Ginger Ale Dispenser is a huge benefit. It becomes available sometime after level 27 for 20 gems, and you have 72 hours to purchase it. The other nice thing about this restaurant is that some food upgrades increase the price of an item by as much as $4. See the Strategy and Upgrade Tips at the bottom of this page for a list of the foods you should upgrade. We were able to get 3 stars by only upgrading Kitchen items; we didn’t need to do any Interior upgrades.
