Chef requires the player to move back and forth, keeping food airborne with the use of your trusty frying pan. A point is earned for each piece of food that is flipped into the air. If the food is neglected, it falls to the floor for the rats to eat, and the player loses a life. As the game goes on, the food moves up and down faster. Occasionally, a cat that sits on the left side of the screen will catch a bit of food and will hold it, delaying its fall. In GAME B, the player has to manage four pieces of food, instead of the usual three.
