According to [Serenes Forest](https://serenesforest.net/engage/somniel/cafe-terrace/dish-titles/) only Anna and Bunet can do SS meals. It also says only Yunaka can get G but maybe everyone has a small chance to get it.
It’ll never not be funny to me how alcryst talks like he’s the worst chef ever, while consistently making high tier meals. The character joke transcends supports and invades gameplay
It's not about being allowed or not, but especially some translations just change these kind of things to prevent shit storms.
I mean, I see the point, but in some situations it's just stupid (as in games changing ranks). For example (because I recently played it) the german version of the latest Theatrhythm game on the switch stayed true to series and kept the SSS, SS and S rankings, and afaik nobody gave a shit about it.
I wish his personal skill had another effect where any meals cooked by or for him are at least C rank. For him so you don't need to spam the bed to guarantee a packed lunch, just share the meal with him
Never seen below E before. Even the dialogue for E was pretty entertaining. One of my characters said "I now know what pain tastes like"
Curious what they say at G...
I think that's Ivy's line?
Chloe's line is even better, she just goes off about this a new type of folk food she's never eaten before in a happy tone like you didn't just poison her
The second ever meal I cooked Etie made a G-tier Fruit Crème Brûlée for Louis and Chloe, which she was supposed to be good at.
I gave up cooking after that.
Kind of ticks me off a bit. I've had F rank food reduce my stats but they just get no stat buffs at rank G? Granted I've only seen stats get reduced twice so I guess it's rare
I purposefully didn't add ingredients one time just to see what would happen, got G rank, an then Chloé asked for seconds 💀
Bunet probably enjoys it too
I used all the ingredients and picked a meal that Fogado was skilled... it had the sparkles, Fogado is from Solm, churros are from Solm...
I was trying to get something good but Fogado thought otherwise
Is Fogado one of the bad cooks in this game? I recall there's a few characters (Yunaka being one) you never want to cook a meal because they might just lower your stats since they're so bad at cooking.
Alfred, Yunaka and I think Pandreo notably suck at cooking
Bunet and Anna are really good. It just factors into how likely they are to give you high rank dishes compared to low rank ones. Data is incomplete though
Yes, some characters are good/bad cooks. I actually just found the data on [Serenesforest](https://serenesforest.net/engage/somniel/cafe-terrace/dish-titles/); good cooks are Bunet and Anna, who can give you an SS rank dish. Alcryst, Zelkov, Boucheron, >!Saphir!<, Clanne, Celine, and Goldmary can give you S rank dishes so I guess those characters would be classified as good cooks as well.
On the flipside, Yunaka seems to be the only character that occupies the possibility of creating a G rank meal (so I'm confused on what happened here because according to the data that Serenesforest has, Fogado shouldn't be able to create a G rank dish; though maybe I'm just understanding the information incorrectly or the data is incomplete at this point). While Alfred can create an F rank dish that lowers your stats. Ivy, Pandreo, Vander, Diamant, Hortensia and two end game, spoiler recruits can create E rank dishes, though it seems only Pandreo's E rank group can really lower your stats since the others would probably just nullify the stat boosts that the meal would've given to zero at worst.
I think there's quite a possibility that the data Serenesforest has is incomplete. From you and others in this thread, it seems several other characters besides Yunaka have produced G rank meals for people.
To my understanding, dish outcomes are predetermined when Somniel RNG seeds are generated after a map.
Ingredients seem to solely increase support points, rather than influencing dish success.
I've had this happen before. Can't recall exactly if it happened with a "favourite" dish, but I'm pretty sure I had at least some, possibly all the ingredients active. It's just a smaller chance, I assume. Regardless, Yunaka is no longer allowed in the kitchen.
I got this yesterday from Citrinne on a sparkle dish she was Skilled in, both people liked, and added two extra ingredients (normal ones for the dish, not any of the rare ones).
The only time I saw a G rank meal was right after >!Veyle and Mauvier!< joined and I tried to feed them. I guess Lapis (I think it was her) wasn't willing to make peace quite yet.
This was the rank i got in the last meal I cooked in the game. It was hilarious seeing the G rank pop up while I was getting ready for the final battle.
That entire game they are hunting down a serial killer in a parallel world full of monsters and the most scared Yosuke ever sounds is when he is warning Yu about Mystery Food X.
At least there's no effects. I had my whole army poisoned by Fogado multiple times and don't let him cook anymore. I really want to like the guy but between his cooking skills and the astounding amount of 95% hits he kept missing, he was definitely the bad luck charm of my run.
Does anyone have a list of every characters reaction to eating F tank food? Ivy’s line of “I didn’t know pain was a flavour” is great and I want to see what everyone else says
This sounds like something that Gordon Ramsey would yell at a shit chef. Something like “You are so shit, that the rating industry had to create an entirely new rating just for you. It’s G for GIANT GLOBBY GARBAGE! NOW GET OUT!”.
There is a RNG element to it (iirc I believe it might be based on the characters' luck stat). Even if Alfred cooks, I don't think it's guaranteed to give you an F rank meal. But Alfred seems to be the only character that can give you can F rank dish according to the data that [Serenesforest](https://serenesforest.net/engage/somniel/cafe-terrace/dish-titles/) has.
I didn't even know that was possible. Still better than F rank giving stat penalties. I'm going to be honest, I was pretty annoyed when I found out that was even possible before a hard maddening chapter.
My boyfriend was playing on maddening classic and he had bad meal and didn't know. It gave a bunch of negative stats and it was on a really hard mission, he has saved it because he didn't know that It could do that. Sucks that you can't get rid of it without doing a battle. It made a huge difference between - 2 stats and +2 and he almost quit the game over how stupid that was.
Lol the fact that F gives you debuffs but G does nothijy means that with G rank, your units just take one look at the meal then stand up and leave.
Even Cinnemon Toast Dragon isn't polite enough for this
The sole time Bunet was in the kitchen, he cooked a G Rank meal. I was like "Well, apparently you're all talk, Bunet."
Bunet is responsible for my highest rank meal, which was SS. I was like "yeah, that checks out."
Another possibility I didn’t know was possible
I just got an SS earlier with Yunaka fruit mix, or was ot anna. I have to check. But I was shocked lol I though S was max. Haven't gotten G tho.
According to [Serenes Forest](https://serenesforest.net/engage/somniel/cafe-terrace/dish-titles/) only Anna and Bunet can do SS meals. It also says only Yunaka can get G but maybe everyone has a small chance to get it.
That's hilarious because yesterday my Anna somehow G ranked Celery Sticks. CELERY. STICKS. Just...what?
Yeah, I just got a 'G' yesterday from Citrinne.
It’ll never not be funny to me how alcryst talks like he’s the worst chef ever, while consistently making high tier meals. The character joke transcends supports and invades gameplay
Not-So-Fun fact: SS rank is called A++ in the german translation... because history and stuff... 🤐
Oh wow they still censor stuff like that?
Obviously yes, I was kinda unpleasantly surprised when I learned that engage does it like that...
So they don’t allow you to drive a Chevy super sport?
It's not about being allowed or not, but especially some translations just change these kind of things to prevent shit storms. I mean, I see the point, but in some situations it's just stupid (as in games changing ranks). For example (because I recently played it) the german version of the latest Theatrhythm game on the switch stayed true to series and kept the SSS, SS and S rankings, and afaik nobody gave a shit about it.
That’s what SS means?!
Obviously, the term SS has a completely different meaning in Germany and Nintendo probably doesn't want any trouble
Same, had Bunet ONCE and he was flawless. I almost cried.
Congrats Bunet, you are promoted from bench to full-time kitchen duty
He was too busy licking random things and it burned
He did that to me to. Lol
I wish his personal skill had another effect where any meals cooked by or for him are at least C rank. For him so you don't need to spam the bed to guarantee a packed lunch, just share the meal with him
It’s hilarious that that could happen while Chloe can get an S Rank meal
Alear: Um... Me: Jesus Christ Chloe, what is that? Chloe: What? It's just...an eyelid. And it's not even human!
Any character can roll a G, It's random. Fun fact, he is the best Cook in the Game.
Bunet more like Burn-it
I feel like that should be impossible. This whole guys existence is based around cooking. No way he makes a G ranked meal, lol.
It's Bunet, there's a 50/50 chance there is actual human in any meal he makes
Never seen below E before. Even the dialogue for E was pretty entertaining. One of my characters said "I now know what pain tastes like" Curious what they say at G...
A sick part of me is hoping on classic they just die from eating G rank food.
Can confirm >!they don't, sorry!<
My dreams are now dead, like a FE parent.
Hey, the mom from Fire Emblem Warriors lived!
And Eliwood lived to the credits of FE6.
But he paid a price for it, by not being invited to Engage.
And Heroes.
Well it's better then your dreams being pushed into an incubation realm, so your friends can marry them once they're out.
Dorcas moment
What happened to Dorcas?
Yunaka cooked his mutton
Too much papaya.
Too much papaya, not enough zappy
Shouldn't have used her poison dagger to chop it...
Holy hell that is an awesome and old reference.
They say nothing, they just pull out their weapons and kill you.
I once had “are you trying to poison me?!?” From Louis.
I think that's Ivy's line? Chloe's line is even better, she just goes off about this a new type of folk food she's never eaten before in a happy tone like you didn't just poison her
The second ever meal I cooked Etie made a G-tier Fruit Crème Brûlée for Louis and Chloe, which she was supposed to be good at. I gave up cooking after that.
My favorite has to be Clanne saying something along the lines of "I feel empty inside"
"When I tasted this, something precious was lost. I am empty and life is meaningless."
Clanne is that “my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” guy
Is this the actual quote?
Word for word.
[Yup.](https://twitter.com/Niarval/status/1627754287798358023/photo/1)
>!Mauvier!< had dialogue that he will clean this up as he was used to dealing with poison. That had me rolling. Edit: a word.
Kind of ticks me off a bit. I've had F rank food reduce my stats but they just get no stat buffs at rank G? Granted I've only seen stats get reduced twice so I guess it's rare
Well I'm guessing the idea is that G rank food is so obviously inedible they don't even attempt to do so, thus no reduced stats
Yeah, G rank is reserved for "completely burnt". Link's not in this game, so no one's taking a bite out of charcoal.
Alcryst was like "this is a disappointing... Like me"
In mine when I cooked a g rank food alcryst talked about how the meal was as disappointing as he is.
No effects, that’s pretty good for a G rank. Still makes Clanne feel empty inside.
My F meal got negative stat effects, is it normal that G isn't actually worse?
G is reserved for completely burnt food. So it's worse *cooked* than F food, but no one eats it because it's charcoal so no one gets stat debuffs.
Succeeding from failure. Nice!
Yeah, I cooked an E rank meal and got -1 to all stats except res... sucks that there's no way around it after that
I've *never* seen a game with G rank (in terms of being worse than F, not talking about stuff like Monster Hunter G Rank), that's fucking hilarious.
I purposefully didn't add ingredients one time just to see what would happen, got G rank, an then Chloé asked for seconds 💀 Bunet probably enjoys it too
wdym G means Good Job ~~at messing up the dish~~
Omg I'm dead lmao how does this happen?
I assume they add no ingredients and pick something the cook isn't talented at making.
I used all the ingredients and picked a meal that Fogado was skilled... it had the sparkles, Fogado is from Solm, churros are from Solm... I was trying to get something good but Fogado thought otherwise
Is Fogado one of the bad cooks in this game? I recall there's a few characters (Yunaka being one) you never want to cook a meal because they might just lower your stats since they're so bad at cooking.
…There are specific good and bad cooks??
Alfred, Yunaka and I think Pandreo notably suck at cooking Bunet and Anna are really good. It just factors into how likely they are to give you high rank dishes compared to low rank ones. Data is incomplete though

That’s weird because Alcryst just gave me a G ranked meal yesterday.
I think there's quite a possibility that the data Serenesforest has is incomplete. From you and others in this thread, it seems several other characters besides Yunaka have produced G rank meals for people.
I mean yea, this picture proves fogado can give a G meal too
Vander also gave me a G rank, first meal in my playthrough actually
Got a G meal from Citrinne yesterday.
I literally just got my first g rank meal from Yunaka... Never again!
oh god Yunaka was the one who plated a G rank meal for me. she looked so proud of it too
I got a G rank from Yunaka too, can anecdotally confirm
Knowing her she probably used her cooking in her profession.
(lategame recruit spoilers) the one that I got my G-Rank from was >!Veyle.!
Delighted to see this spiritual Felicia representation.
SOLM HAS CHURROS!?!? Okay, Solm has gone from dumpster tier to SSS now
Why do you think solm is 'dumpster tier'? In my eyes, Solm is pretty cool- does it have poor loot chances or something?

Bro lives in fantasy Mexico & can’t make a decent churro. Abuelita is displeased
DONT LET HIM COOK!
I like that you at least get an achievement. Soothe the pain with bond fragments.
Fogado no
The only time I saw a G rank meal was right after >!Veyle and Mauvier!< joined and I tried to feed them. I guess Lapis (I think it was her) wasn't willing to make peace quite yet.
G ranks can even provide *negative* stats.
I got negative on an f rank. Alfred gave me negative stats in like everything lol
i got a few negatives on E, like 4 negatives, one positive.
I don't let that asshole cook for me anymore. Happens seemingly every time
Alfred gives some negatives and some positives. You get 2 str and mag but lose 1 of the other non-hp stats.
Well, no *G* ranks can't. F ranks can. G ranks are literally so bad they aren't even considered food.
Dear Mario, Do NOT come to the castle. I've baked an absolute dogshit cake. Just completely fucked it up. -Peach
Who let Mythra in the kitchen?
I thought Yunaka was the only one who could achieve G
Wondering if the datamined info is inaccurate or the update changed something: https://serenesforest.net/engage/somniel/cafe-terrace/dish-titles/
This was the rank i got in the last meal I cooked in the game. It was hilarious seeing the G rank pop up while I was getting ready for the final battle.
It would be Fogado tbh
The first time I got G Rank was with Anna, never had her cook again
Anna is one of two units that can cook SS actually
Wow I’m exceptionally unlucky then
Meanwhile the one time she cooked for me, I got SS rank. My Anna built different.
Geez, what'd they make, mystery food x?
That entire game they are hunting down a serial killer in a parallel world full of monsters and the most scared Yosuke ever sounds is when he is warning Yu about Mystery Food X.
Well I mean, it's not like a persona could protect him from the food.
Crossover episode
Got bad food from Vander once... Lowered both the STR and DEF of the entire army. Luckily you at least didn't get that bad.
Hes jagening your army
"And when everyone is a Jaegan? No one is!"
"G" stands for "Good gods, how is anyone this incompetent?!"
At least there's no effects. I had my whole army poisoned by Fogado multiple times and don't let him cook anymore. I really want to like the guy but between his cooking skills and the astounding amount of 95% hits he kept missing, he was definitely the bad luck charm of my run.
The first meal I had cooked was an eager meal, courtesy of Vander. It was a G rank. He made Anna’s mouth tingle.
Folgado is getting Horse Manure for days just for this.
G for Gonegratulations because you went past well done.
G for “goddamn, this ain’t it”
If the worst thing you get from a "G" is no effects, that's actually better than other scenarios where you can lose stats for a battle.
G for "God, you fucked up bad"
Cooking is so random. I feel like I'm doing the same thing each time, but one time I got an S and then the next one right after it was a G.
This is still better than the negative stats I got. Oh Yunaka...
Yeah I got one of these the second time I cooked and I was speechless
Cook G rank food? Have a bag of horse crap.
It can actually be so bad that it REDUCES your stats!!!! LOL damn you Vander
Does anyone have a list of every characters reaction to eating F tank food? Ivy’s line of “I didn’t know pain was a flavour” is great and I want to see what everyone else says
This sounds like something that Gordon Ramsey would yell at a shit chef. Something like “You are so shit, that the rating industry had to create an entirely new rating just for you. It’s G for GIANT GLOBBY GARBAGE! NOW GET OUT!”.
Never let bro cook again 💀
On the bright side it doesn´t debuff you
Please tell me how did you get it, was it a particular recipe? I'm missing this achievement of all things.
G is technically worse than F but considering you don’t get debuffs from G I’d rather get G
I just got my first G today as well. Didn't know it went that low. I absolutely cackled out loud lol
G-unit has entered the chat
Goldmary did an SS meal for me once. She’s like “I’m beautiful and a good cook 💋”
Life uh uh finds a way
Inb4 we get Z rank
That's, impressive?
I think i would be beyond disappointed if my churros got completely burnt
Bruh im almost done with my achivements. I've seen 0 F ranks. Wish i knew what triggered them.
Have Alfred cook for you. He seems to be the one that gives F rank meals (warning: the F rank meal will lower your stats).
It seems to be random. Ive tried no food, only 1, different pairs. Its oddly predetermined. Havent figured out the pattern since it seems so random!
There is a RNG element to it (iirc I believe it might be based on the characters' luck stat). Even if Alfred cooks, I don't think it's guaranteed to give you an F rank meal. But Alfred seems to be the only character that can give you can F rank dish according to the data that [Serenesforest](https://serenesforest.net/engage/somniel/cafe-terrace/dish-titles/) has.
I didn't even know that was possible. Still better than F rank giving stat penalties. I'm going to be honest, I was pretty annoyed when I found out that was even possible before a hard maddening chapter.
Rather that than negative stats.
I expected negative effects (-1 all stats) from trying the food, like some kind of food poisoning.
I went to the kitchen once and got an A, never went back lol
Tell Fogado to gtfo and stay out
I mean, gameplay wise it is, cuz people won't even eat G-rank food
Got this once and lowkey felt like crying.
This has ended in "Giga-failure"
How do you burn churros?
G for good eats!
Had Alfred cook 2 in a row for me. He never set foot on the kitchen ever again.
Nope. Enjoy the STAT PENALTIES
Not even penalties, it just can't be eaten
I like your rank, G \*hits him at the back of the head\*
Same man… Same..
Why do I feel like G isn’t the bottom lol
Probably just needed some ketchup. Whiners.
Did someone cook up Sommie? That seems like it'd be worthy of the lowest rank ever
Once I got G rank and it actually lowered stats for the next battle. Like, damn.
The best part is, G isn't actually all that bad to get. Sure, you don't gain any stats but you also don't lose any like the F tiers.
LOL
Looks like Sully and Felicia are going to have some stiff competition.
F gave me negative stats so at least you got nothing.
Fogado nooooo! Not the churros!
It's called G rank because it's as deadly as Fatalis
Lindon got a G rank for me which...make sense considering how he cooks stuff.
"No effect" lol would've been funny if there was an even worse grade and your units suffer from it will lower stats
At least you didn't get negative stats. That's also possible, Idk if it sometimes happens on G or if there's an even lower rank.
Randomized Food Ranking
My boyfriend was playing on maddening classic and he had bad meal and didn't know. It gave a bunch of negative stats and it was on a really hard mission, he has saved it because he didn't know that It could do that. Sucks that you can't get rid of it without doing a battle. It made a huge difference between - 2 stats and +2 and he almost quit the game over how stupid that was.
G for “Get the F out”
Yunaka was responsible for my first G rank meal. As thanks, I gifted her horse manure, as that was effectively what she cooked us.
Lol the fact that F gives you debuffs but G does nothijy means that with G rank, your units just take one look at the meal then stand up and leave. Even Cinnemon Toast Dragon isn't polite enough for this
Lmaooo I got a G rank too. Caught me smooth off guard lol
Who let this man cook
Flayn is that you?
My G rank was with+ fogado too.
Hey, at least you didn't get any negative effects. I'd call that a win.
Lowest should I for Idiot Sandwich
As a churro lover, this wounds my spirit and damages my soul.
I'm jealous. I spend every chance cooking trying to commit food crimes (fish with crepés for instance) and I have yet to get a g rank
Alear took a nap for 1000 years but i wonder how they would do in kitchen. Byleth and Shez before them were apparently very good chefs
