The Dish-dex Completion Guide: Collecting All 59 Base Dishes Like a Pro
Every variant you order lights up its base dish, which means completing the 59-dish Dish-dex is a strategy game. Here's the efficient, category-by-category route to 100%.
Somewhere in your My Collection page sits the Dish-dex: 59 slots, one for each base dish in the Food Hall, waiting to be lit up. Ordering any dish — or any of its Signature, Double, or Truffle variants — permanently registers its base. Since every order costs $0 and every delivery takes about three minutes, this is the most affordable collectathon in gaming history. It still rewards a plan, though. Here's ours.
Rule 1: Variants count toward the base
This is the single most important mechanic. A Truffle Double Smash Burger and a plain Double Smash Burger fill the same Dish-dex slot. So if you've been ordering five variants of the same ramen because they all sound delicious (they do), you have collected exactly one dish. Completionists should spread out: one order per base dish, then come back for variant tourism after the dex is done.
Rule 2: Sweep by category
The 59 bases are spread across ten categories, and the Food Hall's filters make each one a tidy checklist. Work through them in order and you can't miss anything:
- Noodles, rice, and stew — the three biggest shelves at 7 dishes each, so clear these first for momentum
- Bunsik, chicken, and dessert — 6 dishes each, the comforting middle of the run
- Burger, pizza, drinks, and tacos — 5 dishes each, a fast victory lap
- After each sweep, open My Collection and confirm the category shows full before moving on
Rule 3: Pace it (or don't)
A full dex takes 59 orders minimum. You could speedrun it in an evening — nothing stops you, least of all a delivery fee. But there's a case for slower play: each order unlocks a real ~20-minute recipe, drops dodged calories into your pet ghost Boogi's bowl, and stamps whatever random city your rider wandered through into your Ghost Passport. Spreading 59 orders across a few weeks means your dex, your passport, and your increasingly chubby ghost all level together.
The Dish-dex isn't just for bragging. At 10 distinct dishes you unlock the gourmet cap for Boogi's wardrobe; at 20 you unlock the top hat, which sits on a ghost's head with remarkable dignity. Order counts also drive Boogi's evolution — the seventh order brings the Helmet Ghost stage, the fifteenth the Rider Ghost — so a dex run doubles as a growth spurt.
Every collector eventually stares at three unlit slots wondering what they missed. The fix is boring and effective: filter the Food Hall by category, compare against your dex screen side by side, and order the gaps. It's usually a drink you skipped because 'it's just a drink' or a dessert hiding at the bottom of the list. Order it, watch the rider get lost somewhere scenic, and enjoy the quiet click of a completed collection. The food never comes — but 100% absolutely does. ✨
