Papa's Next Chefs 2016 was the sixth Next Chefs tournament held to select the chefs for a then-upcoming Papa Louie restaurant time-management game, later revealed to be Papa's Sushiria. The winners were Matt and Clover.

Introduction

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are enjoying Papa’s Bakeria! This year we changed things up a bit and launched a Gameria in the spring instead of the summer. While we may be a long ways from the next Gameria, we decided this is the absolute best time of the year to start up … Papa’s Next Chefs 2016!

As some of you may know, the Papa’s Next Chef tournament is a yearly challenge where you, the fans, get to choose who will be working at Papa’s next restaurant! We will be showcasing 2 battles each week, one for the guys position and one for the girls position. The winners of each week move on to the next round and one step closer to becoming Papa’s Next Chefs!

This year we have the Pomegranate Division, the Peach Division, the Kiwi Division, and the Dragonfruit Division. Let’s get this party started!

Winners

Hey Everyone!

After 15 exciting rounds of competition, Matt and Clover have become this years Papa’s Next Chefs!!!

Now, both members of Flipline Studios will have been chefs along with all the members of Scarlett and the Shakers! Clover and Matt will go on to be the chefs at Papa Louie’s next restaurant extravaganza!

But what restaurant will it be??

You will need to be patient. Because of our release of Papa’s Bakeria earlier this year, the next Gameria will not be out until later this year. So we are a little while away from the official announcement of the game.

But we promise it will be worth the wait! [17]
