Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (300)

Is it just me, or does 'master of eats' sound terrible? Is there a pun I'm missing?

Cooking Master is one of the main attractions of Fun City; it's a cook-off contest, and anyone can participate, provided they know how to cook (i.e. you need the Cooking specialty skill at least at level 1). The confrontation is one-on-one, between one of the characters in your party and a randomly selected competitor among the apprentices of Yarma, the master gourmet and judge of the contest. The goal is to make as many good dishes as possible within a time limit, gathering ingredients from a randomly chosen pool (meat, fish, fruit, etc.), and if you manage to win, the prize is a Yarma Cooking Set (some rare cooking ingredients).

Yeah, it's really as fun as it sound, which is not much... The prizes are hardly worth it, unless you're aiming to make every single kind of food in the game, in which case it's one of the best ways to obtain rare ingredients. It also takes a long time to make each dish during the contest, so it's quite boring.
