Ant Kingdom, Commercial
Dan: Ah... Cooked Danger. The most exquisite of dishes…
Leif: Aren't those poisonous?
Dan: To someone such as I, poison is nothing.
Leif: Hmm. We will have to try one as well…
Vi: Uh, no. We really shouldn't.
Golden Settlement, Main Area
Dan: I try to make it to each festival. Even the classic Leaf Salad can become more exciting with Kut's skilled hands.
[post-Aria battle]
Dan: Kut's cooking is simply on a whole other level. Even with a plain Hard Seed, he can make miracles.
Dan: Don't get me started on the explosive power he produces mixing it with Spicy or Burly berries...
Ant Kingdom, Underground Tavern
Dan: Ahh, Doppel's Berry Juice. It has that little kick the competition just can't offer me...!
Defiant Root, Entrance
Dan: Ah...the bakery in this town is the best.
Dan: By mixing flour with different ingredients, it's possible to create so many different pastries! I must taste all of them!
Metal Lake, Bugaria Pier
Dan: It's a shame, but they've run out of tea. Oh, the flavor a leaf and some water can bring forth…
Termite Kingdom, Main Plaza
Dan: These lands have a unique fruit. The Termites call it a "Squash".
Dan: They are harvested from the Plumplings that roam around the wilds.
Dan: Cooking it by itself is already good, but mixing it up with Flour makes something really great.
Dan: What if one mixed a Squash with some defense boosting ingredient?
Dan: My appetite flares up just thinking about it…
Metal Lake, Metal Island
Dan: Everyone on this island always goes on about the rare cherries.
Dan: But here I am, pondering how they would taste mixed with other rare berries, or even rare seeds.
Dan: Maybe they can be mixed with some explosives to really blow out the flavor!

Vi: This Beetle's always at Fry's. He eats pretty much anything…
Leif: Ah, a true gourmet. We may have things in common.
Vi: Yeah. You're both weirdos, alright.
Leif: ...
[Golden Settlement, Main Area]
Leif: It's that gourmet from the plaza…
Vi: Yup. Anyways, let's go.
Leif: Can't we stay a bit? We wanted to drink some Aphid Dew together…
Kabbu: Leif, you've made friends without us noticing!
Kabbu: I'm...I'm so proud!
Leif: "Friends" may be a bit too strong a word...
[Underground Tavern]
Vi: Sometimes I see this Beetle at Fry's. He eats pretty much anything…
Leif: Ah, a true gourmet. We may have things in common.
Vi: Yeah. You're both weirdos, alright.
Leif: …
[Defiant Root, Entrance]
Leif: Ah...we can't help but be hungry around this bug.
Vi: No rush, Leif. You two can hang out!
Leif: Oh? We just might order some stuff, then…
Kabbu: Don't mind if we join you!
[Metal Lake, Bugaria Pier]
Leif: We meet again…
Vi: He really is everywhere!
Leif: Hope you won't mind if we stay for a snack.
[Termite Kingdom, Main Plaza]
Leif: This guy is even here…
Vi: Where there is food, there he is.
Kabbu: You have to admire his dedication to his culinary quest.
[Metal Lake, Metal Island]
Leif: He's here, too? Now we know he's a true gourmet.
Vi: What, just 'cuz he spends money to eat?
Leif: Many people boast being refined, but wouldn't make the sacrifice to travel here.
Kabbu: Truth be told, I do believe I enjoy eating…
Kabbu: But if our travels hadn't brought us here, I wouldn't have tried to eat Master Slice's food!
Vi: You two think about this way too hard...
