Mondai no Aru Restaurant (問題のあるレストラン)

When we were young, we had a wife, of course, but

we sure played around a lot with the gals.

You won't find a man who doesn't cheat on his wife.

A man's port. Remaining steadfast is a woman's virtue indeed.

Polygamy is the ultimate.

What's this dirty old man saying. What an idiot.

Eat shit and die.

Ridiculous. Wow, big boobs.

- Let's watch something else. - Here you go.

Thanks.

The outside is crispy, yet...

See? It's always the same. The outside is crispy.

I heard there's a good looking chef here.

Yes, that's him.

He's cool. It's fantastic that

he's not only good looking, but a first class chef as well.

Oh! Look. Did you just see that? Look.

Look. This face.

"I'm cuter. Why aren't I on that side?"

"Why don't I get an invite to IT drinking parties?"

"Why? Why? Why?" That's what her looks are saying. Look here. He's on.

- Who? - This bastard.

I quit my job because he's an idiot.

We'd like everyone to enjoy French cuisine as cheaply as possible...

That power harassment bastard. Oh, as for this guy, look.

The newscaster's thighs. Look. Look at him.

- Look, look. - He's eying her.

He's latched onto her for sure. Look, look. Here.

- His eyes are following her. Look. - Like he's running his tongue all over her.

Yeah, as if he's licking her up.

He eyed her butt. Just now, her butt.

It's absolutely delicious.

Is that Karasumori-san?

They were filming this today.

Once you eat food like this, you can't eat anywhere else.

Why are you promoting their restaurant?

This is what you call a real treat.

You know, lately

when I get off the taxi, I find myself saying gochisosan (thank you for the food).

What in the world are you talking about?

Oh, she's there again. Look. Look, look, she's there.

Look. Just now, that was pretty.

- Just now... Hey, are you all right? - Let's just turn it off.

Are you all right?

Here, drink this. If I knew I'd be on TV,

I should've recorded it. Are you all right?

Where did Tamako and Haiji-san go?

Hey, what's the matter? What are you worried about?

When I first met Chika-chan,

she was trying to kill her father.

- Is it good? - It's good.

Come here, come here.

- You can go home now. - Huh?

- Take your stuff with you. - Huh?

- Come on, stand up. - Huh? Why?

Here's taxi fare for you.

Chika. Over here.

What's the matter? Come here.

I'm terribly sorry.

Paaka-chan.

It seems my daughter was being bullied at school.

- She shut herself in the house for 7 years. - 7 years?

Obviously, my ex spoiled her.

All she did was play games and

didn't hardly attend junior high.

Hello? Come back here once.

Never mind that. Have the cab driver make a U-turn there.

There were these things called VHS and Beta.

And...

Welcome back. Where's Tamako?

You guys say things like "What? You don't know that either?"

That's why I don't like people from the Showa era. And every chance they get,

they talk about how hard it was to flag down a cab during the bubble days.

We can't help it. I bet even lizards are thinking about

the good old days when they were dinosaurs controlling the earth.

Lizards aren't direct descendants of dinosaurs.

Birds are. Don't you even know that?

Say, Paaka-chan, did you know?

There used to be a TV channel called UHF. Did you know?

You wouldn't know, would you?

Did you ask the reason? Why she tried to kill her father.

- She said because she was just irritated. - Irritated?

I don't know, but irritated

isn't a word you use when you're irritated, is it?

How do you say, uh...

It's a word you use when you feel something that can be expressed in words, isn't it?

Well, kids these days say things like

die and kill like a greeting.

In any case, we won't make it in time at this rate.

Tamako. We're in trouble.

Paaka-chan's...

- Chika-chan? - Tanaka-san.

Coffee house and café are totally different, aren't they?

- They're the same thing, aren't they? - Ah, uh...

If the staff's holding stainless trays, it's a coffee house,

and if they're not, it's a café.

What are you doing with your baggage?

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

Let's sit down over there. Sit down.

Tanaka, a first kiss tastes like lemon, right?

- Strawberry, right? - Girls,

do you know the difference between Nara period and Heian period?

Can you tell the difference in their pottery? It's the same thing with Showa and Heisei.

Both Sakurada Junko (Showa idol) and Gouriki Ayame have short hair. The end.

Sit down.

Don't tell me you're leaving.

Why? You're our chef, you know.

What is it that you don't like? Tell me if you have any gripes.

- I don't want to cook. - How come?

- It's a pain. It's tiring. - Look. If you think everything's a pain...

People are a pain.

Every day's a pain. The earth is a pain.

If earth is a pain, I guess you'll have to go to outer space.

Who are you. Kaguyahime*? (*a princess in a Japanese folktale who came from and eventually returned to the moon)

It's late now. Even if you're leaving,

let's sleep on it for a night.

Chika-chan.

May I come in?

Here.

A chef coat. For Chika-chan.

I'm not trying to hold you back, mind you.

You know...

when I met Chika-chan for the first time,

I had hit rock bottom, and

I was thinking to myself, "Ah, this may be it for me."

But the pot-au-feu that you made for me was so very delicious.

And the night sky was so very beautiful.

"Ah, I'm not finished yet," I thought.

I don't want to force you to do something

you don't want to do either, so I won't stop you. But

to me,

happiness is eating, and

happiness is working.

That's why people who has the skill to make delicious food

have my unconditional respect.

Chika-chan, your culinary skill is a treasure.

This is my gift to that treasure.

Good morning. Good morning.

Okay, it's morning. Let's wake up.

Let's make this a restaurant

that Chika-chan would want to come back to.

That would be Booth No. 51. Enjoy.

Welcome back.

Hi. Thanks.

This is so~ good!

2 weeks until opening

- We have beets over there too. - Really?

I don't know how you can eat it without washing.

It's the soil that tastes good.

The soil?

It's used in French cuisine too. Like in soil dressing

- and soups. - Are you talking about microorganisms?

How lovely.

Wouldn't these do?

Food is a feast for the senses You eat with your eyes too.

Taste can change with the plates you use.

Then why don't you just put one plate on top of another?

- What do you mean? - Why don't you place a place on top of another,

put soil in between, and eat?

The soil that you love.

Don't point your finger at me.

Auction is war. It's been around since the Edo period,

a battlefield where you sound out each other's mind over that day's catch.

I'll do my best!

No. 5, 5, 5, 5.

- One-three. - I have one-three. Now one-three.

- One-five. - Now one-five...

- One-six, one-six. - One-six. I have one-six...

- One-eight. - I have one-eight, one-eight.

- Two-O, two-O. - Two-O.

At Two-O to 117... - Two-one!

- Two-four! - Two-five!

- Two-six! - Two-seven!

Three...

From the upper right angle, put your fist on your chin

and make your face look smaller. Open your fist,

open your mouth as if in surprise, and show off your cuteness.

Yes, now.

I'm gonna have ikura (salmon roe).

Did you know that salmons risk their life to lay eggs?

It's a pity they get heaped on sushi rice, isn't it?

I'm taking the ebi (shrimp).

How can she eat something like shrimp, huh? They just happen to live in the ocean

and visually, they're basically just insects.

Do you and Kawana-san dislike each other?

Huh? Who's Kawana-san? Ah, you mean that Kawana-san

who re-wraps promotional samples and gives them to her friends on their birthday?

When there's something she wants, she gets it by finding

two guys who say they'll pay half. That Kawana-san?

Is that right?

You'd better not talk to her too much.

I know her private Twitter account.

She twitters away bashing the people she met that day.

She's going to write something like "I hope he gets herpes."

Look! She's deleting her account.

Oh, here comes the ikura.
