Vertigo Gaming says Cook, Serve, Delicious! is now available for Mac via Gamersgate, Desura and www.vertigogaming.net, with a Mac App Store version coming later this year. It costs US$8.95.

Here's a description of the game: "Cook, Serve, Delicious! is a hardcore restaurant sim, one of the few in its genre that gives players total control over where they want to take their restaurant’s future. You’ll start with a few thousand dollars and 20 foods to choose from for your menu, as well as a host of restaurant equipment and a virtual email account that connects you to the people of SherriSoda Tower.

"Nearly everything is unlocked from the start of the game for you to purchase; this is your restaurant, and you must figure out the best strategy to get your business packed with satisfied customers. Can you prove your culinary skills?

"Buy new equipment upgrades for your restaurant, as well as buy and upgrade 20 different foods for your menu. Switch out foods from your menu as they become stale, create daily lunch specials and monitor your buzz with a detailed stats screen."

A Mac demo for Cook, Serve, Delicious! is available at www.vertigogaming.net, as well as a launch trailer (http://youtu.be/w3V8tLmG3uU) and a Catering Challenge gameplay clip (http://youtu.be/MevF3SSrTMM).
