Players are each given a menu of foods that need to be filled on their plate board. Each food piece is laid face down and mixed up, and the game begins. Each player chooses one card, and if it matches an item on their menu, they add it to their plate. If it doesn’t match, they turn it face down and play moves to the next person. Each food item is represented on one card, with the exception of entrees, which are split up onto two cards. Players will need to find both halves in order to complete their meal.

While each menu requires certain foods, drinks and desserts are not menu-specific, so a player may take any they find. If on a later turn they find another drink or dessert, their turn simply ends.

The only item found on each menu is peas, and there are two cards in the game which state “Please Pass the Peas”. If a player finds one, they are allowed to take peas from another player who has them on their plate. If no player has peas, they may hold the card until either they find peas, or an opponent does. Once a “please Pass the Peas” card is used, it is removed from play. The first player to successfully fill their plate with all required menu items wins.
