hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is Alisha and today we're gonna
talk about 10 phrasal verbs for eating
and drinking so let's get started drink
up the first phrasal verb is drink up
drink up drink up is a happy is a
cheerful phrase we use that means let's
start drinking or let's enjoy drinking
or please drink so you can use it when
everybody gets their drinks you can say
alright our beers are here let's drink
up it means it has the nuance of drink a
lot like you can also use it like as a
challenge to someone like someone who
loses a bet or loses like an argument
you can say drink up as kind of a
challenge it's sort of like a friendly
command for drink so in sentence our
beers are here everybody drink up take
down the next phrasal verb is take down
take down as in take down and order take
down is a phrasal verb that these staff
like waiter or waitress will use at
their restaurant they may come to your
table and say can I take down your order
they may also say can I take your order
of course but to take down is like to
take your order and write it down on a
notepad for example in a notebook so
take down your order
you might hear this so in a sentence
when you're ready I can take down your
order ring up the next word is ring up
ring up we use ring up to mean total to
total something to total a bill to total
the amount of something at a restaurant
or shopping - for example so again this
is a word that waitstaff the staff the
restaurant may use so when you finish
your meal they will ring up your bill
they will ring up your total and you
will pay that amount at the end of your
immune so in a sentence I'll ring up
your bill at the cash register set down
the next phrasal verb is set down set
down so we use set down for items which
we are carrying and then we set or we
place
a table so usually there's like a
downward motion if you're carrying
something like you can use it for a
backpack if you want to like to set down
to to drop something to leave something
but to put it in like on a table to put
it in a place specifically there so we
can use set down at a restaurant like
please set the plate down on the table
or can you set down my drink over there
or I'll set down your order over here so
set down means to place something us
something you were carrying to place it
on a table or to place it on a desk so
set it down in a sentence please set
down the plates carefully cut up the
next phrasal verb is cut up cut up we
use cut up to mean cut but cut up
usually means to cut all of something so
if you receive like mono chicken or beef
or pork or some large item you need to
cut we say cut up to mean cut the entire
piece to cut everything you receive so
in a sentence make sure to cut up steak
into small pieces for example it's
easier for children to eat or I take a
long time to cut up my meat for example
so cut up means cut everything cut into
the next phrasal verb is cut into so to
cut into means just to make one slice
into something usually we use cut into
four like the first slice like we use it
maybe to check that a something is
properly cooked sometimes so like to cut
into a chicken or to cut into turkey we
usually use this for the first slice so
the first experience like when I cut
into the chicken all the juices came out
it looked delicious I'm excited to cut
into my Thanksgiving turkey this year or
I'm really looking forward to cutting
into that steak later it looked great so
cut into is kind of that first cut that
initial cut where you can see maybe what
the what the meat looks like or you get
you get a sense of how the rest of your
meal is going to taste so
into the first slice I want to cut into
my dinner later
stop up the next phrasal verb is stop up
stop up so to stop means to soak with
liquid to soak with liquid to stop up
therefore it's like to to soak to soak
liquid from like a bowl or from a cup or
something but we use this with bread
usually so if you're eating soup for
example and there is leftover soup in
your bowl you can take bread and soft up
soak up the liquid from your soup with
bread so to stop up liquid so to soak
and pick up something is the image here
so to stop up bread so for example I
like to stop up my soup with bread or I
like to stop up extra sauce with a
biscuit for example so usually there's
some bread and some sauce or liquid we
use with this phrase cool down the next
phrasal verb is cooled down cooled down
means to let something become lower
temperature naturally so to let
something cool down really means to
allow something to gradually go to a
lower temperature if you make a pie for
example it's very hot when it comes out
of the oven so oftentimes the recipe
will say allow to cool down and serve
for example so meaning after the pie is
taken from the oven you should let the
temperature cool you should let the
temperature come down before eating so
to cool down is like reducing the
temperature but just naturally over time
so in a sentence make sure to let your
mashed potatoes cool down before you try
to eat them heat up so the next phrasal
verb is heat up heat up we use heat up
usually to talk about microwave use or
oven use so it's taking a cold food or
maybe your frozen food usually just a
cold food kept in the refrigerator put
it in the microwave and turn it on to
heat the food to make it warm again
so to heat up is like to move the heat
level
up to increase the temperature of the
food we use the phrasal verb heat up to
do this so for example I like to heat up
my pizza before I eat it my leftover
pizza or you should heat up yesterday's
soup it would be really good to have
that tonight or maybe we should heat up
something quick for dinner tonight so
heat up means to increase the
temperature of a cold thing
chow down so the next phrasal verb is
sort of a slang expression it's Chow
down chow down means like to eat really
excitedly it's it's not a phrasal verb I
personally use very much but you can use
it to express your enthusiasm for
something so it's typically used for
like sort of junk food type things or
like really really um everyday foods
like in in the USA it's like sandwiches
or hotdogs or like something you might
get it like a sporting event will say
like I want to chow down on a sandwich
later or I want to chow down on some
pizza after this so to chow down is like
enthusiastically eats like you're not
thinking about being polite you're not
worried about looking nice while you eat
you're just enjoying eating very
enthusiastically so like oh let's chow
down on some pizza later for example so
or for example like we're gonna chow
down on some barbecue this weekend it'll
be great so those are ten phrasal verbs
for eating and drinking I hope that
those are useful for you as you visit
restaurants and of course even drink if
