Solved

Explanation

Reveal the reasoning
  1. Begin with the cross-category links that lock two items together. Here, Clue 1, Clue 2, Clue 3 connect Truck, Specialty, Neighborhood.
  2. Clue 1 links Burgers (Specialty) with Market Square (Neighborhood), so those two items must belong to the same chef.
  3. Clue 2 links Red Wheel (Truck) with Burgers (Specialty), so those two items must belong to the same chef.
  4. Clue 3 links Green Leaf (Truck) with Riverfront (Neighborhood), so those two items must belong to the same chef.
  5. Next, apply the elimination clues to shrink rows and columns before committing to any checks.
  6. Clue 8 rules out Riverfront and Old Town (Neighborhood) for Aria, which forces the remaining options.
  7. Clue 9 rules out Riverfront and Midtown (Neighborhood) for Blake, which forces the remaining options.
  8. Clue 10 rules out Tacos and Dumplings (Specialty) for Cruz, which forces the remaining options.
