Cooking Dash stars Flo, who cooks her way to TV fame on restaurant shows such as the Vegas-themed Table Steaks, Taco Train and Hip Stir Cafe. The listing promises hundreds of episodes, Series Finales for experts that open once you beat every episode in a venue with 4 or more stars, and a Trial of Style multiplayer event that awards pets and outfits. A free Prize Wheel spin each day hands out gold, VIP tickets and auto chefs. At 215.5 MB it is the smallest download on this list, and US players rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 112K ratings. It ranks lower because Glu says a network connection is required to play, the game shows advertising, it sells random virtual items, and it lets players interact with each other through chat. Listed purchases start at $0.99 for a handful of gold.
