When you prepare and equip Prep Recipes from your Prep Kitchen to attract Gold VIP and Special Guest characters during your episode gameplay, those special characters will often drop another currency called Fame. These appear as little red stars; the current Fame level appearing in the upper-right corner of most screens.
Getting higher levels of Fame will unlock new Gold VIP (special power) and Special Guest (double coins) Prep Recipes for your Prep Kitchen - and ultimately a very
special venue called VIP Valhalla.
** Fame will decay over time, so be sure to keep using special Prep Recipes in your episodes to grow and maintain your level of Fame! **
