I'm learning English and I don't know, what does "overcooked" and "let's be honest" means.
Please help!

(I thought it was only the Germans who put commas before "what" sentences :)) )
"overcooked" - cooked for too long
"let's be honest" - let's leave the joke aside, let's talk seriously, let's face the truth - are sayings, most of the time their exact meaning doesn't matter, the general idea being to put a stress, to accentuate on, to draw attention towards that which will be said after the expression. If taken at face value, "let's be honest" means "let's stop lying ourselves / the truth is,...". If you don't understand "let's", it comes from "let us...", which functions somehow as first person plural imperative.
