Easter egg found in Ep 3.

My very first original easter egg was found here, in episode 3 of Fermat no Ryori (Fermat's Cuisine). This enjoyable Japanese series blends comedy, bromance, foodie fun, and surrounds it all with watching one of my fav J-Actors, Shison Jun. The easter egg is at 13:00. Kitada and his girl-friend are at a Tokyo restaurant and in walks the senior chef (Kitada still doesn't know his name-sorry you need to watch it to understand) from restaurant K. Kitada goes over to the bar, where the chef is using his Ipad to look over some recipe plans. Kitada and he talk for a moment. Kitada says he's looking forward to working with him tomorrow. And the chef says "How nice. Life as a pet must be so pleasant". And BOOM! There's the easter egg.! This line is a reference to Shison Jun's previous romantic drama "Kimi WA Petto" (Life as a Pet), where he lives with, and play-acts the role of "pet" to his love interest. Everything I've seen Shison Jun act in has been worth the watch. In Kimi Wa Petto, we even get to see him do some of his exceptional modern interpretive dance moves.
