GalactoChef

GalactoChef, the highest rated reality-show in the galaxy is a three-day marathon cookoff. Three contestants must prepare from scratch a 15-course meal starting only with raw materials. These raw materials include base plant life and animals that must be cloned to avoid violating bans on harming first-order life. Contestants spend the first two days deftly manipulating heat lamps and cloning machines to bring the ingredients to the right level of maturity. Next comes the wheel of change, where each ingredient might get turned over to a competitor or forfeited to the judges for impromptu sampling, based on the luck of the spin. Finally they must prepare the meals without the use of heat or water, while audience members are permitted to throw additional ingredients into the mix! Despite all of this, the contestants final products are usually quite delicious and usually start new eating trends across the galaxy!

The success of these melanges inspired the Mooncursers' Straight Bonus. For each attribute (ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL, MANUFACTURED, SEX, RARE, DANGEROUS, UNETHICAL, DRUG, FOOD), any group of at least five items having that attribute and consecutive quality values earns a bonus equal to their combined base values. Each item can be part of only one set per attribute.
