This is ridiculous. Despite watching both videos on the linked page I can't actually find the footage of her but presumably she was drinking something before it was shot. I don't think anyone expects you to redon a mask in between sips.

She is the one singing and dancing in the back center left of the video... Its kind of entirely centered on her...

In the graphic the diner is depicted as being finished with their meal. The text of the tweet is perhaps bad PR because the author is assuming the public will use common sense.

The text of the tweet literally says "Don't forget to keep your mask on in between bites." How exactly are you saying that "between bites" should be interpreted?

I said the text of the tweet was bad PR. The graphic does not appear to have been designed to support that statement, however. Can you find any other public health guidance aside from this single tweet which supports the idea that you should don and doff a mask dozens of times during a meal?

This was also in Oct 2020, we are in a much better place than we were then

By what metric? Despite having a vaccine now, the US is currently averaging ~150k new cases per day, as opposed to ~45k when that tweet was posted.

San Francisco to be specific
