[QUOTE="killman360, post: 68149, member: 267"] When one is eating at a chain restaurant, Chili's perhaps, many questions enter one’s mind: Where is the food? Do they serve margarita pitchers at 2:00 PM? Where the eff is that waitress? Still, you may not be so inquisitive about who is in the kitchen. But after spending some time with Order Up!, the Wii's new cooking game, we feel a certain camaraderie with who we imagine works back there.
