Could the cooking hints be related to a Dine Out update?

Personally I would love it if they added it in so that I could play as the chef! I expected that to have been part of the pack in the beginning and surprised (and a little disappointed) that it wasn't.

It still could make them money to update the pack as well. Not everyone has all of the packs and anyone still on the fence with this one could be persuaded and it renews a fresh interest in an older pack, especially for newer players to the series.
