How to Get Gorilla Chef in Grow A Garden

If you've been eyeing the Gorilla Chef in Grow A Garden, you already know it's one of the coolest pets in the game. Not only does it look hilarious—big gorilla in a chef's outfit, wooden spoon in hand—but it also boosts your cooking efficiency.

I managed to grab mine during the Cooking Event Part 2, and I'll walk you through exactly how I did it, the odds you're working against, and how to skip the grind if you just want it now.

Quick Summary

• Main Way: Rat Connoisseur reward pool (5% drop chance).
• Shortcut: Buy it directly from U4GM for $1.99.
• Why It's Worth It: Increases food duplication chance by 5–10% while cooking.

Method 1 – Farming Through the Rat Connoisseur

The Gorilla Chef comes from turning in Mutated Food to the Rat Connoisseur during the Cooking Event Part 2. Here's how you can do it efficiently.

Step-by-Step

1. Grow Mutated Food

• Plant special seeds that can mutate (Gourmet Seeds, Taco Fern, etc.).
• Speed things up by planting in bulk and using fertilizer boosts.

2. Find the Rat Connoisseur

• He's hanging around during the Cooking Event—easy to spot, usually near event hubs.
• Interact with him when you've got at least one Mutated Food ready.

3. Hand Over the Mutated Food

• He'll show you 3 random items from the reward pool.
• You can only pick one, so choose wisely.

4. Pray for the Gorilla Chef

• It has a 5% chance to show up, so you may need multiple attempts.
• Keep farming mutated food and turning them in to maximize tries.

5. Optional: Premium Skip (89 Robux)

• Skips the review animation.
• Gives slightly better odds for rare drops, including Gorilla Chef.
• I used skips when I had a huge harvest ready—it makes the grind much faster.

Method 2 – Skip the RNG, Buy It

If the 5% drop chance feels like a cruel joke (trust me, I felt it), you can skip the grind entirely.

• Where: U4GM
• Price: $1.99
• Benefit: Guaranteed Gorilla Chef in minutes. No farming. No heartbreak.

If you’re tired of watching the Rat Connoisseur hand you everything except the Gorilla Chef, there’s no shame in taking the shortcut. You can buy Gorilla Chef pets from U4GM for just $1.99 and have one in your garden within minutes—no endless farming, no praying to the RNG gods, just instant legendary cooking power.

Gorilla Chef – Why It's So Good

Appearance

Looks like a real gorilla but wearing a chef's outfit and holding a wooden spoon. Honestly, it's adorable.

Trait & Passive – King Cook

• Effect: While you have a Cooking Pot or Cooking Cauldron in your garden, the Gorilla Chef cooks in it and gives +5–10% chance to duplicate food.
• Works passively—no extra clicks required.

Hunger

• Value: 55,000

My Tips for Faster Farming

1. Plant Mutated Crops in Bulk – You want 10+ at a time so you can mass-turn them in.
2. Use Event Boosts – Any seed growth or cooking speed boosts will shorten your grind.
3. Don't Burn Out – Mix in other event goals so you're not just staring at the same crop timers.
4. Trade Extra Rewards – If you keep getting other pets or seeds, trade them with friends to speed progress.

Getting the Gorilla Chef is a mix of patience and luck if you're farming it. I got mine after 12 Rat Connoisseur turns, but I've seen friends still empty-handed after 20+. If RNG hates you, that $1.99 on U4GM starts looking like a bargain.

Either way—once you get it, you'll notice the food duplication bonus right away. Plus, it's basically a giant gorilla cooking in your garden. Worth it.
