Suspiciously carefree foreigner is the personal chef of his overpowered pets.

Series in more sentences:
Four Japanese residents are summoned to a magical medieval world, expected to become their saviours, but one of them appears to have a gift so odd, he and his surroundings believe there's no use for him.

Mukouda possesses the power to access what looks like an online webshop to buy modern food and items with. His knowledge of cooking helps turn this gift into a power; and before too long, he gains the devotion of a feared beast, whose assistance immediately turns his luck around in this dangerous new world.

A show that introduces the potential to many cool conflicts, but doesn't focus on any of these and spends more time trying to be a cooking show. And I don't mind a cooking show, but not when you have these little mentions of war and threats going on in the background.

As I turned this thing on and watched the world and relationships slowly establish themselves, I soon realized, it was very slow. I can empathize with viewers who'd turn this show off after episode 3 or 4, but well, I enjoyed myself fine enough to keep it going, so I did.

The isekai genre is one of my favourites and I've seen a big deal of it, but this series surprised me with its reluctance to be.. exciting. I expected a story about a timid guy who becomes a powerful hero with help of the most random, nonsensical superpower you can('t) think of, and yet, his days are quiet and repetitive, much like the relationship with his monster companions.
They perform like 2 minutes of work, and then one of them immediately shouts "I WANT BREAKFAST/LUNCH/DINNER!". Cue a semi-detailed scene of Mukouda cooking food, followed by the eaters loudly dissecting and praising it, then calling for seconds.
It was getting really old, and the constant imagery of food just made me hungry for adventure. For an actual plot to get introduced. Or at most, for Mukouda to continue finding and growing his abilities, those scenes were fine too.

It happens often in isekai anime that the poor souls who get teleported away act relatively casual about it, but Mukouda was something else. Don't these people have a family waiting back home or something? I'd be miserable, my dog alone would die a guaranteed death if this were to happen to me.
Even if you had a less than stellar life back home, I wouldn't be optimistic living in a world inhabited by crazed magical beasts, where computers and plumbing don't exist. But Mukouda doesn't care, he struts around in these dangerous lands, just cooking and eating all day, because what else is there to do when you don't have your phone, right.
The war and "demon king" are a total afterthought and the other summoned heroes don't make a single appearance after episode 1's introduction.

If there's not going to be a season 2 where it picks up the pace, I don't think the series in general will be worth the watch. Just, nothing happens.
Mukouda is bland, and unlike the equally bland Rimuru from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, he doesn't have cool powers or a cool story arc to make up for it.
