Compare Hot Dish prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Zemnott. Published by Ziggurat. Released on 7/29/2008. Available on PC. Genres: Indie, Casual.

A 2008 kitchen-management indie where you climb from line cook to 5-star chef, one dish at a time.

Hot Dish is a career sim that asks you to prove yourself in the kitchen, starting as a line cook at an Italian restaurant and working toward that elusive French chef badge. The pitch is straightforward: learn recipes, manage time and ingredients, and level up your culinary reputation through repetition and precision. It's the kind of game that appeals to folks who find satisfaction in systems-based progression rather than flashy graphics or storytelling. There's not much flash here, but that's not the point. If you liked the bones of Diner Dash but wanted something less frantic and more about mastery, this scratches that itch. It's a relic from when indie games were smaller and weirder, and that charm holds up as long as you go in expecting a low-key sim about becoming better at your craft, not a narrative adventure.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
