@waggymiley2013 and @PinkSugar81 these sound like the same "food never served" problem. I opened a separate thread about it as I was having trouble finding others with the same bug in the midst of all the other bugs :D . Anyway I now suspect it's the chef's skill level vs the quality of food he/she is expected to serve. As in, some food gets served because he can make it, but some doesn't because he can't. I notice the problem at a high-end restaurant but not at a simple diner, for example. I'm not at home right now to test it out or try to find out how to fix it, but there are a few other simmers looking into it too - including Crin. I will post again here if I find out more.
