* AesopAmnesia: Rarity apparently forgot all the BeYourself and "don't conform to appease others" lessons she's learned in the past five seasons, as here she fully advocates that the Tasty Treat be exactly like the other restaurants in Canterlot to appease Zesty. Considering how the other restaurants were the only ones with any customers, she may have, at least partially, been thinking that that was what the customers in Canterlot wanted.

* BittersweetEnding: The Tasty Treat is pulling through at the end, but will likely not a Three Hoof rating. But this could be because now there is gonna be variety, so Zesty's ratings may not. Also, Zesty doesn't change her attitude at all.

* DudeMagnet: Rarity easily attracts two stallion like potential customers.

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' You know some ponies get excited over the silliest things.

* {{Jerkass}}: She may be a critic, but there was no excuse for Zesty to make fun of the tourist for liking the food.

Though Pinkie's success is limited, attracting only two ponies from Whinnyapolis, they were expecting the Tasty Treat to look different from every other restaurant. When they arrive, they find that Rarity has crafted the Tasty Treat into another fancy, small-portion restaurant to get Zesty Gourmand's approval. Both Zesty Gourmand and the two tourist ponies arrive, the former not impressed by anything and the latter savoring the food. Zesty leaves shortly in a huff, saying that Rarity knows only about clothes and nothing else, so her opinion carries no weight. Defeated, Rarity and Pinkie Pie apologize for ruining the Tasty Treat as Saffron brings everyone bowls of noodle soup. This prompts Coriander to remember the good times they use to have while cooking, reinvigorating his drive. Rarity then realizes that she and Pinkie were doing the wrong jobs; Rarity uses her knowledge of Canterlot's elite life to attract ponies to the Tasty Treat while Pinkie puts the decor back to how it was. This attracts all numbers of ponies to try the food, saving the shop. Zesty Gourmand shows back up, shocked to find the restaurant packed. Zesty is incredulous that the ponies are eating at a restaurant that isn't rated. Rarity counters that while Zesty is entitled to her opinion, it's not going to cover every restaurant, and that her tastes shouldn't define how every restaurant acts, causing Zesty to leave in a huff. Saffron and Coriander thank Rarity and Pinkie for bringing them together again, causing their cutie marks to glow, indicating they solved the problem.

* {{Pastiche}}: The song is done in a UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} style, as appropriate.
