Gameplay

Lord of the Fries is set in the kitchen of Friedey's where your main task is to create meals using different food cards to earn points and get rid of cards.[1] The meals are taken from various menus including those of Ratherbee's Steakhouse, Ghicciaroni's, Friedey's Restaurant, Friedey's Long Wok, Love's Labours Lunch, and the Holiday Menu. You combine meals with humorous names like Chickacheezabunga, Sheep wit' da Fishes, Lying Dead on the Floor, Manifest Destiny, Penne for Your Tots, Synaptic Relay Deteriorator, An Unbearable Likeness of Beans, Godfather, Bovine Spongiform Yum, Yum, Yum!, the enormous Magna Carta with a side of fries, and the Lord of the Fries.

In 2015, the game was relaunched in a fourth edition with first printings having a bonus deck from "McFrye's Coffee Shop." Four expansions are available, with more designed and not yet released: "Long Wok on Short Pier," "Las Cabezas," "McPubian's," and "Ghicciaroni's," each with different decks and different restaurant themes.
