Yakuza: Like a Dragon: every Table Talk food order
Food for Thought only needs 20 Table Talks, but there are 42 to find. The awkward part is that buying dinner does not automatically mean you saw a new conversation. You need the right food and the right companions available.
For the simplest cleanup, wait until the full story party has joined and is available again. The people involved do not have to occupy your four active combat slots. You can leave them in reserve.
Use the Ijincho restaurants. A familiar restaurant name in a different city is not a substitute. Order from the menu yourself, let the conversation finish, then leave and return before the next order. You only get one Table Talk per visit, so buying an entire menu once does not clear every conversation at that restaurant.
Below, each separate line is one conversation. Ichiban is involved throughout. “Han” means Joon-gi Han. Where a useful follow-up answer is known, I've included it after the order.
AKAUSHIMARU: TWO CONVERSATIONS
• Extra Large Beef Bowl: Adachi. Choose Pickles for the follow-up order.

• Shark Fin Soup: Saeko.

HOW TO DO THIS WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE
Mark a line only after the conversation actually plays. Ordering the food while a required person is absent won't substitute for seeing it.
If you're only chasing the trophy, start with the nearby Bar District restaurants, then work through Pocket Café and Wette Kitchen. Stop when Food for Thought unlocks. If you want all 42, keep going through the entire list and check your Table Talk challenge count.
If an order gives no conversation, check four things before buying it repeatedly:
• Have you already seen that particular scene?
• Are all the needed characters currently available in the story?
• Are you at the Ijincho branch?
• Did you leave and begin a new visit after the previous scene?
The two Cream Latte scenes and two Hot Milk scenes are especially easy to miss when you're nearly finished. The other common mistake is confusing a meal-combo bonus with a Table Talk. A food combination that boosts battle rewards is useful, but that bonus isn't itself a new conversation.
This is also a good time to check your bonds. If someone's gauge is locked, visit Survive for their Drink Link before continuing the restaurant tour. You may as well get the friendship progress while you're paying for all these meals.
