| とある一品を境に | toaru ippin o sakai ni | After a certain dish |
| 突如、担がれ方だけ、三ツ星。 | totsujo, katsugarekata dake, mitsuboshi. | Suddenly, only the way it is carried is three stars. |
| そんで、分不相応な店舗を構えて | sonde, bunfusouou na tenpo o kamaete | Then, they set up a store that was not worthy of its size |
| 勝手が分からず、撃沈。 | katte ga wakarazu, gekichin. | And sunk without knowing how to win. |
| 正味、礼儀作法や、 | shoumi, reigi sahou ya, | Net, etiquette, table manners, and so on, |
| テーブルマナーとか、 | teeburu manaa toka, | table manners, and so on, |
| なんのこっちゃでして。 | nan no kotcha deshite. | I don't know what it’s all about. |
| 加えて、勝手な推知で、 | kuwaete, katte na suichi de, | Plus, I was just guessing |
| 形成されていく、 | keisei sarete iku, | I was formed by my own guesses |
| パブリック・イメージ。 | paburikku imeeji. | Public image |

| 話題性だけが先行していて | wadaisei dake ga senkou shite ite | Only the topic of conversation precedes |
| 碌に咀嚼せず嚥下か。 | roku ni soshaku sezu enge ka. | And swallowed without chewing. |
| 実は、見かけの映えだけ | jitsu wa, mikake no hae dake | In fact, if we are only conscious |
| 意識していれば、 | ishiki shite ireba, | As long as you are conscious of the appearance, |
| 味はどうだっていいらしい。 | aji wa dou datte ii rashii. | The taste is not important. |
| 必死こき、拵えたメニューも、 | hisshi koki, koshiraeta menyuu mo, | The menu that he preparеd with all his might, |
| 伝わらなけりゃ、無意味と同義？ | tsutawaranakerya, muimi to dougi? | If it is not conveyed to the audiеnce, is it meaningless? |
| 兎角、嘲笑塗れのレビューサイトでは | tokaku, choushou nure no rebyuu saito de wa | In any case, on a review site filled with ridicule |
| 流言飛語って、やんなっちゃう！ | ryuugenhigo tte, yannacchau! | I'm not happy with the buzzwords! |
| 続々と現る新フード | zokuzoku to arawaru shinfuudo | New foods appear one after another |
| 全量を食べてちゃ追いつけない；； | zenryou o tabetecha oitsukenai ; ; | You can’t catch up if you eat the whole thing ; ; |
