A Culinary career has been one of the basic career tracks that shipped with The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. A similar career came with the The Sims: Unleashed expansion pack.

The Sims
The Culinary Arts career track comes with an expansion pack for The Sims, Unleashed.

A Candy Bar Magnate will eventually change careers and become a Top Secret Researcher in the Science career track.

The Sims 2
The Culinary career is one of ten basic career tracks that shipped with The Sims 2. This career focuses on building skill points in logic, creativity, and cooking. The career reward for this track is the Schokolade 890 Chocolate Manufacturing Facility, which can be obtained when the Sim becomes a Prep Cook, Level 6, and it can be used to make candies which can be sold if the Sim has a high cooking skill. If The Sims 2: Apartment Life is installed, Bohemians are likely to work in this career.

Sims who have the Pleasure, Popularity or Romance aspiration can have "Become Celebrity Chef" as a Lifetime Want.

Trivia

 * The host uniform at Level 4 is seemingly based off the uniform that Jennifer Aniston's character, Joanna, wears in the film Office Space, the purple uniform and the numerous badges is heavily reminiscent of the uniforms that the employees have to wear in the film.
 * The Culinary career level 9 is wrongly named "Restauranteur". It's supposed to be "Restaurateur".
