| BR: And we're chefs. So when Moto opened in 2004, people didn't really know what to expect. A lot of people thought that it was a Japanese restaurant, and maybe it was the name, maybe it was the logo , which was like a Japanese character, but anyway, we had all these requests for Japanese food, which is really not what we did. And after about the ten thousandth request for a maki roll, we decided to give the people what they wanted. So this picture is an example of printed food, and this was the first foray into what we like to call flavor transformation . So this is all the ingredients , all the flavor of, you know, a standard maki roll, printed onto a little piece of paper. |
我们是厨师 Moto在2004年开业的时候 人们并不知道 我们卖的是什么 许多人以为 这是家日本餐馆 可能是因为店名 或者标志看起来 像日本文字 反正 我们收到了 许多要点日本菜的要求 其实我们不卖日本菜 在收到第一万次寿司卷的要求之后 我们决定满足人们的要求 这张照片 是一份平面食物 这是我们进行味道改造的 首次尝试 寿司卷的所有材料 所有味道 都被印到了 一小张纸上 |

后来 客人们都吃厌了 我们延续这个思路 决定给他们双份同样的食物 我们把寿司卷中的一样材料拿出来 给这道菜照了张照片 把照片上的菜一起端上桌 |

We take the sandwich and wrap it up in a collard green, put an edible label t ck">< b> hat bea rs no ck">< b> similarity to a Cohiba cigar label, and we put it in a dollar ninety-nine ashtray and charge you about twenty ck">< b> bucks f or it. (Laughter) |
有些菜看起来跟食物搭不上任何关系 这是一支雪茄 一支用古巴猪肉三明治做成的 古巴雪茄 我们把猪肩肉用调味料淹好 制作出烟灰的效果 在把它裹在 一片羽衣甘蓝叶里 加上一个可食用标签 这个标签不与 高希霸雪茄的任何标签雷同 我们把这道菜摆在一个价值1.99美元的烟灰缸上 20美元卖给你（众人笑） |

|
| HC: Delicious. |

| (Laughter) |
（众人笑） |

|
| BR: One of the really cool things about the lab, besides that we have a new science lab in the kitchen, is that, you know, with this new equipment, and this new approach , all these different doors to creativity that we never knew were there began to open, and so the experiments and the food and the dishes that we created, they just kept going further and further out there. |

这头牛主要吃三样食物 玉米 甜菜头 大麦 于是我向员工 提出了一个疯狂的要求 我们能不能 用牛吃的食物来取代牛肉 来制作汉堡 |

要做许多研究 每试验一道菜 都经历失败 尝试 错误 错误占大多数 我们并不总是一帆风顺 要花上一些功夫 向人们解释 |
| HC: So, after about a day of Chris and I staring at each other, we came up with something that was pretty close to the hamburger patty , and as you can see it basically forms like hamburger meat. |

你看 我们在切西瓜 我们的想法是 通过在本地 制作金枪鱼肉 或其他异域或风味食品 来省去外地制作同样的食品 所耗费的食物里程和能源 并杜绝了过度捕捞金枪鱼 因此 我们拿来了一个产自威斯康辛州的西瓜 |

经过这样的处理后 我们将西瓜真空包装 加一点海苔 调味料 把它一卷 它开始变得像金枪鱼肉 |
|

| BR: And then after a quick dip into some liquid nitrogen to get that perfect sear , we really have something that looks, tastes and behaves like the real thing. |
在液态氮中迅速蘸一下 它得到恰到好处的焦脆质感 这样 我们就做出了 与金枪鱼口感一模一样的替代品 |

只要对人的健康 和环境有好处 就行了 |

| So here's the next challenge. |
下一项挑战任务来了 |
| I told the staff, let's just take a bunch of wild plants, think of them as food ingredients. As long as they're non-poisonous to the human body, go out around Chicago sidewalks , take it, blend it, cook it and then have everybody flavor-trip on it at Moto. |

|
boatload:n.一条船的货物;船的载货量;
|
| BR: Yeah, so you can imagine, a task like this -- this is another one of those assignments that the kitchen staff hated us for. But we really had to almost relearn how to cook in general , because these are ingredients, you know, plant life that we're, one, unfamiliar with, and two, we have no reference for how to cook these things because people don't eat them. |
你们可以想象得到 这又是一项 让员工把我们恨得咬牙切齿的任务 但我们几乎不得不 重新学习如何烹饪 因为我们对这些材料 植物的生长周期都不熟悉 我们也不知道 怎么烹饪这些材料 因为人们平时都不吃这些东西 |
|
assignments:n.作业;分配;(assignment的复数形式) relearn:vt.重学;再学习; in general:总之,通常;一般而言; unfamiliar:adj.不熟悉的;不常见的;没有经验的;

|
creative:adj.创造性的; texture:n.质地;纹理;结构;本质,实质; issue:n.重要议题;争论的问题;v.宣布;公布;发出;发行;
|
| HC: So this is where we step into the future and we leapfrog ahead. |

| So developing nations and first-world nations, imagine if you could take these wild plants and consume them, food miles would basically turn into food feet. |
所以发展中国家 和第一世界国家 设想如果你能把这些野生植物 拿去消费 你就能 大大缩短食物里程 |
|
consume:v.消耗;吃;毁灭;烧毁;
|
| This disruptive mentality of what food is would essentially open up the encyclopedia of what raw ingredients are, even if we just swapped out, say, one of these for flour, that would eliminate so much energy and so much waste. |

mentality:n.心态;[心理]智力;精神力;头脑作用; essentially:adv.本质上;本来; encyclopedia:n.百科全书(亦是encyclopaedia); swapped:交换;调换;

|
bale:n.包;捆;灾祸;不幸;v.将...打包; crab:n.蟹;螃蟹;蟹肉;阴虱病;v.捕蟹;用爪抓;使侧航;使斜行;

|
barbecue sauce:n.烤肉酱;
|
| People swore they were eating barbecue sauce, and this is free food. |
尝过这种烧烤酱的人 都说这跟真的烧烤酱没有区别 而这不花一分钱 |

谢谢大家 |
| (Applause) |
（众人鼓掌） |
