Watch “How to Play Critter Kitchen Solo | Full Playthrough,” a how-to-play guide for Critter Kitchen from Merlin's Manor on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Merlin's Manor on YouTube:
I give the basics of how to setup and play Critter Kitchen and then go into more detail during the playthrough itself. I highly recommend sticking with the playthrough for at least a round, and then feel free to skip to Challenge Meal and then finally the Critic Meal and Final Scoring (of course I would greatly appreciate it if you stuck with me for the full playthrough). This tutorial, while focused on the solo mode, should also provide at least most of what you need to know to play multiplayer as well. If you have any questions, please leave them below.

About Critter Kitchen, from BoardGameGeek:
It's Restaurant Week in Bistro Bay! Restaurants are competing in food challenges, while also planning an epic meal to impress a celebrity critic. As one of 1-5 players in Critter Kitchen, you'll send your chefs into the city to gather ingredients to create amazing meals and demonstrate that your restaurant is the best in town.
Each round, new random ingredients are placed in locations throughout the city. Players simultaneously and secretly plan which locations to send their three chefs to, hoping to collect the best ingredients. Some chefs are fast, but can gather only one item, while others can carry three items but arrive late. Rumors are also available at locations and provide guidance on what the critic desires.
Challenges revealed in rounds 1-6 offer the players opportunities to earn stars for crafting dishes with specific ingredient requirements. After round 7, the players must create an epic meal to impress the celebrity critic and cater to their appetites. A multitude of different critics, rumors, and restaurateurs mean every game is fresh!
