What was the first Fast Food Restaurant?

现在，是时候收听《谁最聪明》了。

And now, it's time for Who Smarted.

你好呀，聪明鬼。

Howdy, smarty pants.

你听出来了，我正行驶在美国众多高速公路中的一条上。

As you can hear, I'm driving on one of the many highways that make up The United States.

其实，如果你想了解更多关于高速公路的知识，我们专门做过一整期节目。

In fact, if you wanna know more about highways, we did an entire episode on them.

但今天这趟公路旅行的目的不是这个。

But that's not the purpose of today's road trip.

不是的。

Nope.

我心里和肚子里都惦记着别的事。

I've got other things on my mind and my tummy.

但在揭晓之前，让我先介绍一下背景。

But before I reveal that, let me set the scene.

现在，我正行驶在历史悠久的66号公路上，这条路以两件事闻名：连接全国，以及沿途那些俗气又酷炫的路边景点。

Right now, I'm driving across historic Route 66, which is famous for two things, connecting the country and for its kitschy cool roadside attractions.

比如，有一座保罗·班扬的雕像，他是美国和加拿大民间传说中的巨人伐木工，手里拿的不是斧头，而是一个热狗。

Like, for instance, a statue of Paul Bunyan, the giant lumberjack of American and Canadian folklore, holding a hot dog instead of an axe.

还有梅里马克洞穴，那是 outlaw 杰西·詹姆斯和他的团伙藏身的地方。

Or the Merrimack Caves where the outlaw Jesse James and his gang hid out.

或者一个普通尺寸的、穿着闪亮盔甲的骑士。

Or a regular sized knight in shining armor.

嗯，其实也不算闪亮。

Well, not shining exactly.

那盔甲凹痕累累，而且相当暗淡。

The armor is pretty dented and quite dull.

等等。

Hold on.

它……它在动。

It's it's moving.

你说巧不巧？

Wouldn't you know it?

那盔甲里面居然真的有个骑士，或者就是个普通人。

There's an actual knight or regular person inside that armor.

而且他还在招手让我过去。

In fact, he's waving me over.

我好奇他想干什么。

I wonder what he wants.

你好？

Hello?

需要帮忙吗，先生，不管你是谁？

Can I help you, sir, whoever you are?

你好啊，赶路的旅人。

Greetings, fellow traveler.

能不能让我搭个车，用你这匹铁马能跑多快就跑多快，能跑多远就跑多远？

Would you mind giving me a ride as fast and as far as your metal steed will take me?

金属坐骑？

Metal steed?

哦，我明白了。

Oh, I see.

你是说我的车。

You mean my car.

听着。

Listen.

不是冒犯，但我不会在路上随便载陌生人。

No offense, but I don't pick up strangers on the side of the road.

当然不会。

Of course not.

我是白城堡的骑士。

I am the knight of the White Castle.

这样，我就不再是陌生人了。

There, I am no longer a stranger.

哇。

Woah.

哇。

Woah.

哇。

Woah.

这可不是这么回事。

That's not quite how it works.

没事的，可靠的旁白。

It's okay, trusty narrator.

我是被派来帮你完成一个魔法任务的。

I was sent to you as part of a magical quest.

我的使命是帮你得到你想要的东西。

My mission is to help you obtain that which you seek.

哦，那好吧，既然这样。

Oh, well, in that case.

你刚才提到了白城堡。

Now you mentioned something about a White Castle.

那不会正好是……

That wouldn't happen to be.

一座闪亮耀眼的堡垒，由钢铁和抛光白色瓷器建成。

A bright and gleaming fortress of steel and polished white porcelain.

它是效率与服务的灯塔，最重要的是，速度。

A beacon of efficiency and service and most importantly, speed.

毕竟，白城堡在马尔登快餐业的历史上扮演了重要角色。

After all, White Castle played a leading role in the history of the Malden fast food establishment.

对。

Yes.

聪明鬼，你听到了吗？

Smarty Pants, did you hear that?

这集讲的就是快餐，而快餐正是我想要的。

Fast food is what this episode is about, and fast food is that of which I seek.

你在跟我说话吗？

Are you talking to me?

不是。

No.

我在跟那个聪明人说话。

I'm talking to the smarty pants.

他们能听到我们说的每一句话。

They hear everything we say.

不过没关系。

But that's okay.

他们跟我们一样，也在探索快餐的奥秘。

They're on the same quest we are, to learn about fast food.

比如，今天的快餐为什么这么快？

Things like, what makes today's fast food fast?

它是怎么变得这么快的？

How did it get so fast?

而且为什么它这么受欢迎？

And why is it so popular?

那这些聪明人就跟我们一起出发，去追寻知识的荣耀吧。

Then these smarty pants shall join our order as we ride together to claim the glory of knowledge.

对。

Yep.

还有美味的汉堡。

That and a tasty burger.

准备好再闻一闻科学和历史的美味气息，就在《谁更聪明》节目里。

Get ready for another delicious whiff of science and history on Who Smarted?

谁更聪明？

Who Smarted?

谁更聪明？

Who Smarted?

是你吗？

Is it you?

是我吗？

Is it me?

是科学还是历史？

Is it science or history?

大家听好了。

Listen up.

各位，我们让学习变得

Everyone, we make smarting

在《谁更聪明》上非常有趣。

lots of fun on Who Smarted.

等等，聪明鬼。

Hang on, smarty pants.

我们很快回来，带来更多有趣的知识，先插播一段广告，还有我们赞助商的话。

We'll be back with lots of smarting right after this quick ad break and a word from our sponsors.

现在回到《谁更聪明》。

And now back to Who Smarted.

好的。

Okay.

聪明鬼，问个问题。

Smarty pants, question.

你觉得现代快餐之所以“快”，到底快在哪里？

What do you think makes modern fast food, quote unquote, fast?

这个“快”是什么意思？

What is this quote unquote?

那是什么意思？

What does that mean?

这里就是说，快餐的定义是什么。

In this case, it's another way of saying, what is the definition of fast food?

明白了。

I see.

嗯，显然，快餐就是做得快的食物，比如那不勒斯披萨，大约六十秒就能烤好。

Well, obviously, fast food is food that's made fast, like a Neapolitan pizza that can cook in around sixty seconds.

当然。

Sure.

但是沙拉也可以很快做好，只要把食材扔进碗里，再倒点酱汁就行了。

But a salad can be made as fast as you can throw the ingredients together in a bowl and dump some dressing on it.

沙拉？

Salad?

快餐是汉堡、热狗、薯条、炸鸡、鸡块、塔可、卷饼，有时候还有披萨。

Fast food is hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, tacos, burritos, and sometimes pizza.

你说了让我肚子咕咕叫的魔法词。

You said the magic words to make my tummy grumble.

咕咕。

Grumble.

安静点，肚子。

Quiet down there.

聪明鬼，你觉得快餐为什么快？

Swarney Pants, what do you think makes fast food fast?

是不是得准备得快、做得快、上得快、吃得快，还是以上几种的组合？

Does it have to be prepared fast, cooked fast, served fast, eaten fast, or some combo meal of the above.

如果你说是以上几种的组合，那你就说对了。

If you said said some combo meal of the above, you're right.

同意。

Agreed.

快餐必须准备得快、做得快、上得快，但不必吃得快。

Fast food must be prepared fast, cooked fast, and served fast, but it doesn't have to be eaten fast.

那要看顾客。

That depends on the customer.

当然，很多时候，吃快餐的人吃得快是因为他们赶时间，没空慢慢吃一顿饭。

Of course, a lot of time, the people eating fast food eat their food fast because they're on the go and don't have time for a longer down meal.

吧唧吧唧吧唧吧唧吧唧。

Nom nom nom nom nom.

有道理。

That makes sense.

对。

Yes.

不管是两千年前还是现在，人类一直都喜欢快速吃点东西。

Whether it's two thousand years ago or the present day, humans have always enjoyed a quick bite.

等等。

Wait.

你刚才是不是在暗示，人类两千年来一直在吃快餐汉堡和薯条？

Did you just imply that humans have been eating fast food hamburgers and french fries for two thousand years?

嗯，不完全是汉堡和薯条，而是罗马时代的类似物。

Well, not exactly hamburgers and french fries, but the Roman equivalent.

在古庞贝城的废墟中发现了超过80家快餐店，这座城市在公元79年被维苏威火山的火山灰掩埋。

Over 80 quick bite restaurants were discovered in the ruins of ancient Pompeii, the city buried under the volcanic ash of Mount Vesuvius in seventy nine CE.

你甚至可以说，这座城市被吞没了，就像一些快餐一样。

You might even say the city was swallowed, just like some fast food.

说得太早了，老兄。

Too soon, trusty.

总之，这些快餐店叫做Thermopolia，通常有一个长长的柜台，里面嵌着罐子，用来保温大批量预先做好的食物，有点像现在的自助餐。

Anyway, these quick bite restaurants were called Thermopolia and usually feature a long counter embedded with jars to keep large batches of pre prepared food warm, kinda like a modern buffet.

对还是错，聪明鬼？

True or false, Smarty Pants.

古罗马人甚至有自己的番茄酱。

Ancient Romans even had their own form of ketchup.

如果你说对，那就厉害了。

If you said true, nice job.

那时候的酱叫garum，是用发酵的鱼内脏做的。

The sauce back then was called garum, and it was made of fermented fish guts.

发酵的鱼内脏？

Fermented fish guts?

那听起来可一点都不像番茄酱。

That doesn't sound anything like ketchup.

味道可能不像，但它和番茄酱一样受欢迎，而且现在有些特色店还在卖。

Maybe not in taste, but it was as popular as ketchup, and some specialty stores still sell it today.

在古罗马，顾客在快餐店里可以把鱼露加在肉、奶酪、鱼和扁豆上，然后喝一杯加香料的葡萄酒来冲下去。

In ancient Rome, a customer eating a thermo polio could put garum on their meat, cheese, and fish, and lentils before washing it down with a mug of spiced wine.

有意思。

Interesting.

有点像古代版的汉堡、薯条和汽水。

Kind of like the ancient version of burger, fries, and soda.

对。

Yes.

但别急。

But not so fast.

等等，不是快餐吗？

Wait, it wasn't fast?

我以为我们在说快餐呢。

I thought we were talking about fast food.

哦，我们是在说快餐。

Oh, we are.

我是说，在我们急着聊汉堡和薯条之前，得先去二十世纪初停一站。

I'm saying before we speed ahead to burgers and fries, we need to make a pit stop in the early nineteen hundreds.

哦，我明白了。

Oh, I get it.

那我们在哪儿停呢？

So where are we stopping?

在自动售货餐厅。

At the Automat.

自动售货餐厅？

The Automat?

聪明鬼，你知道自动售货餐厅是什么吗？

Smarty pants, do you know what an Automat is?

是a，一种自动制作食物的机器，还是b，一家以老板奥托和马特命名的餐厅？

Is it a, a machine that makes food automatically, b, a restaurant named after its owners, Otto and Matt?

还是c，顾客从投币式隔间购买食物的餐厅？

Or c, a restaurant where customers bought food from coin operated compartments?

如果你选的是A，就是自动制作食物的机器……

If you said a, a machine that makes food automatically...

抱歉。

Sorry.

那不对。

That's not right.

虽然听起来好像挺有道理的。

Even though it sounds like it could make sense.

但如果你选的是C，就是顾客可以从投币式隔间里买食物的餐厅？

But if you said c, a restaurant where customers could buy food from coin operated compartments?

自动售货餐厅就像是快餐店和自动售货机的结合体。

Automats were like a diner crossed with a vending machine.

口袋里只有几个硬币的忙碌顾客，可以快速进去吃一顿。

Busy customers with just a few coins in their pocket could pop in for a quick meal.

他们会看着一排排像储物柜一样带门的食物隔间，投进硬币，然后打开门取出食物。

They'd look over the grid of food compartments like cubbies with doors, slide in a coin and unlock the food.

哇，我猜对了。

Woah, was right.

那听起来挺酷的。

That seems pretty cool.

只要你的食物没在小格子里放太久。

As long as your food wasn't sitting in a cubby for too long.

恶心。

Ew.

但今天我们熟悉的快餐，比如汉堡和薯条，又是怎么回事呢？

But what about fast food as we know it today, like burgers and fries?

来个快速问答，聪明鬼。

Pop quiz, Smarty Pants.

第一家现代快餐店是哪家？

What was the first modern fast food restaurant?

麦当劳、汉堡王、温蒂，还是白色城堡？

McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, or White Castle?

我给你个提示。

I'll give you a hint.

答案之前在这个节目里提到过。

The answer was mentioned earlier in the episode.

节目？

Episode?

你是说之前的任务？

As in an earlier quest?

别担心这个，骑士。

Don't worry about it, Knight.

聪明人，如果你说白城堡，那你就对了。

Smarty Pants, if you said White Castle, you're right.

但你知道第一家白城堡是什么时候开的吗？

But do you know when the first White Castle opened?

是1901年、1911年还是1921年？

Was it in nineteen o one, 1911, or 1921?

答案是……

The answer is...

第一家白城堡是在1921年于堪萨斯州威奇托市开业的，创始人是J·沃尔特·安德森，他发明了汉堡包。

The very first White Castle was opened in Wichita, Kansas in 1921 by J Walter Anderson, who invented the hamburger.

现代快餐的创始人还发明了汉堡包？

The founder of modern fast food also invented the hamburger?

是的，没错。

Why, yes.

现代汉堡包就是两片面包夹一块肉饼。

The modern hamburger of a meat patty between two buns.

至少故事是这么说的。

At least that's how the story goes.

故事是怎么说的？

How does the story go?

安德森在餐馆当厨师时，有一次气急败坏，把肉丸拍扁了。

While working as a cook at a diner, Anderson smashed a meatball in a fit of frustration.

他为什么那么沮丧，没人知道，但他开始把压扁的肉丸夹在两个面包之间卖，顾客们似乎还挺喜欢的。

What made him so frustrated is unknown, but he began serving these smashed meatballs between two buns and customers seemed to like them.

就这样，现代汉堡诞生了。

Presto, the modern hamburger was born.

聪明人，除了汉堡，安德森还发明了哪些快餐创新？

Smarty pants, other than the hamburger, what fast food innovations did Anderson come up with?

是A，提供精简菜单；B，统一餐厅的外观和布局；还是C，用流水线方式制作汉堡？

Did he, a, offer a small menu, b, standardize his restaurants with the same look and layout, c, prepare his hamburgers in an assembly line.

或者D，以上全部。

Or d, all of the above.

如果你选了提供精简菜单，那是对的。

Well, if you said offer a small menu, that's correct.

如果你选了统一餐厅外观，那也是对的。

If you said standardize his restaurants, that's also correct.

如果你选了流水线制作汉堡，那同样是对的。

If you said prepare his hamburgers in an assembly line, that's correct too.

所以如果你选了D，也就是以上全部，那你就答对了。

So if you said d, all of the above, that's as correct as you can get.

说到不会出错，怀特城堡的原始菜单绝对不会让你失望。

Speaking of not going wrong, you couldn't go wrong with White Castle's original menu.

汉堡、咖啡、可口可乐和派。

Burgers, coffee, Coca Cola, and pie.

聪明鬼，你觉得为什么菜单小一点反而是好事呢？

Smarty Pants, why do you think a smaller menu would actually be a good thing?

嗯，因为选择少了，顾客做决定和点餐的时间就少了。

Well, with less things to choose from, the customer spent less time making up their mind and ordering.

对。

Yes.

而且统一的布局让餐厅更容易在其他地方复制。

And with a standard layout, restaurants were easier to reproduce in other places.

当然，流水线式的准备也加快了烹饪速度。

And of course, assembly line preparation sped up the cooking process.

白城堡的汉堡和面包都是方形的，这样烤架上的每一寸都能用来烤面包或者煎肉。

White Castle hamburgers and buns were both square so that every inch of the grill could be covered with either toasting buns or sizzling meat.

速度、效率、标准化。

Speed, efficiency, standardization.

这些都是现代快餐的特点。

All characteristics of modern fast food.

确实。

Indeed.

顾客可以开车过来，下车买一袋汉堡，然后开车走。

Customers could drive up, pop out, buy a sack of burgers, and drive off.

但如果有一种更快的方式拿到食物呢？

But what if there was an even faster way to get your food?

哦，我知道了。

Oh, I know.

得来速。

A drive through.

那还不够快。

Not that fast.

我说的是得来速的前身。

I'm talking about the precursor to the drive through.

前身就是之前存在的东西。

Precursor meaning what came before.

但是，聪明人，得来速之前是什么呢？

But Smartypants, what came before the drive through?

当然是汽车餐厅啦。

Why the drive in.

所以换句话说，不是把车开到窗口取餐，而是把车开到餐厅，停好，然后他们把食物送到你车上，你就在车里吃。

So in other words, instead of pulling up to a window to take your food, you would drive up to the restaurant, park, and they would bring your food to eat right there in your car.

没错。

Exactly.

1921年，就在白色城堡开业的那一年，德克萨斯州一家叫“猪站”的餐厅推广了汽车餐厅的概念。

In 1921, the very year White Castle opened, a Texas restaurant called the Pig Stand popularized the drive in concept.

他们不卖汉堡，而是主打烧烤猪肉三明治，由被称为“汽车服务员”的人送到顾客车上，顾客全程不用下车。

Instead of hamburgers, they specialized in barbecue pig sandwiches served to customers who never left their cars by servers known as car hops.

聪明人，这是对还是错？

True or false, smarty pants.

汽车服务员之所以叫这个名字，是因为他们会跳上汽车的踏板。

Car hops earned their name because they would hop on running boards of cars.

就是车门旁边那个平的踏板，方便乘客上车用的，他们会在顾客的车还没完全停稳时就跳上去。

A flat step on the side of the door to help you into the cabin before customers in their cars even came to a full stop.

听起来可能有点疯狂，甚至有点危险，

It might sound a little crazy and even a little dangerous,

但这是真的。

but it's true.

早期的汽车服务员只靠小费赚钱，所以他们有动力尽可能多地服务车辆。

Early car hops worked for tips only, so they had incentive to wait on as many cars as possible.

有些汽车服务员甚至穿着溜冰鞋，以便更快地送餐。

Some car hops even wore roller skates to move food faster.

说到快餐，速度就是一切。

When it comes to fast food, speed is the name of the game.

你说得对，旁白。

You said it, narrator.

而且因为开车来的顾客追求速度，快餐行业一直在不断想办法，让制作、销售和配送食物变得更快。

And because driving customers had a need for speed, the fast food industry was constantly figuring out new ways to make, sell, and deliver more food faster and faster.

到了1948年，没有哪家汽车餐厅能比……更能体现速度了。

And by 1948, no drive in embodied speed better than...

哇。

Woah.

哇。

Woah.

哇。

Woah.

别急。

Not so fast.

Now back to Who Smarted?

好的，聪明鬼们。

Okay, Smarty Pants.

白城堡的骑士先生正要告诉我们，哪家原创得来速把速度提升到了新高度。

Sir Knight of the White Castle was just about to tell us which original drive in took speed to the next level.

但在他们揭晓之前，让我们看看你能不能猜到。

But before they do, let's see if you can guess.

是a，麦当劳，b，汉堡王，还是c，肯德基？

Was it a, McDonald's, b, Burger King, or c, KFC?

如果你说是麦当劳，那你就答对了。

If you said McDonald's, you're right.

穿着轮滑鞋送餐的汽车餐厅服务员可能带来了快速的创新，但麦当劳，最初也是从汽车餐厅起家的，却凭借其快速服务系统引领了一场革命。

Car hops on roller skates may have swift innovation, but Mickey D's, which started as a drive in, led a revolution with their speedy service system.

通过预先组装食物，并让每位员工专注于特定任务，他们把白城堡的高效烧烤方式应用到了整个餐厅。

By preassembling food and having each employee specialize in a specific task, they took the efficient grilling of White Castle and applied it to the entire restaurant.

利用快速服务系统，麦当劳可以提前准备好食物，几乎瞬间就能为顾客提供服务。

Using the speedy service system, Mickey D's could prepare food ahead of time to serve customers nearly instantaneously.

哇哦。

Woah.

当然，顾客还是得先把车停好。

Of course, customers still had to park their cars.

没错。

That's right.

但如果顾客能直接开车过来，拿了食物就走，边吃边开，甚至都不用熄火，那该多好。

But what if customers could drive up, get their food, eat on the go, and never never turn off their engines.

那才是真正的极速快餐。

Now that would be extremely fast, fast food.

聪明人，哪种快餐创新让顾客达到了这种新速度？

Smarty Pants, what fast food innovation allowed customers to achieve this new level of speed?

如果你说是得来速的话？

If you said the drive thru?

在追求最快快餐的竞赛中，汽车餐厅的老板们尝试了各种对讲系统，名字很有趣，比如Auto Hub、Dynamic和Order Phone，让顾客可以提前打电话下单。

In the race for the fastest food, drive in owners experimented with intercom systems with curious names like Auto Hub, Dynamic, and Order Phone that allowed customers to call in their order.

虽然不怎么样，但总比没有强吧。

It's not great, but it's better than nothing, I guess.

确实。

For sure.

但在1948年，也就是麦当劳开始推行快速服务系统的同一年，In N Out Burger推出了双向扬声器系统，被认为是第一个现代得来速。

But in 1948, the same year McDonald's began their speedy service system, In N Out Burger implemented a two way speaker system considered to be the first modern drive through.

欢迎光临In N Out。

Welcome to In N Out.

请问您要点什么？

May I take your order?

从古罗马的庞贝到今天，人们一直渴望快餐。

From ancient Pompeii to today, people have craved fast food.

但在现代，快餐似乎比以往任何时候都更受欢迎。

But in modern times, it seems more popular than ever.

聪明人，猜猜麦当劳2025年的营收是多少。

Smarty pants, take a guess at McDonald's revenue for 2025.

是2700万美元，270亿美元，还是27万亿美元？

Was it $27,000,000, $27,000,000,000, or $27,000,000,000,000?

如果你说是2700万，那也太少了。

If you said 27,000,000, that's a tad too

少。

small.

给我来个超大份。

Supersize me.

如果你说27万亿，那意味着我们每天都吃麦当劳。

If you said 27,000,000,000,000, that would mean we all ate McDonald's every single day.

但如果你说270亿，那就刚刚好。

But if you said 27,000,000,000, that's just right.

我能说什么呢？

What can I say?

快餐就是比慢餐好。

Fast food is superior to slow food.

等等，奈特。

Hold on, Knight.

我们别太激动了。

Let's not get carried away here.

我以为快餐以高脂肪、高盐、高糖而闻名，还含有超加工成分和防腐剂，这样才可以大规模快速烹饪。

I thought fast food was notorious for being high in fat, salt, and sugar, and containing ultra processed ingredients and preservatives so it can be cooked fast on a mass scale.

什么？

What?

你从哪儿听说的……

Where did you hear the...

好吧。

Okay.

好吧。

Okay.

确实是这样。

It's true.

大多数快餐确实不是最健康的选择。

Most fast food isn't the most healthy option.

但这并不妨碍人们去吃。

Not that it stops people from eating it.

没错。

Nope.

这是因为进化心理学家认为，我们的身体渴望脂肪、糖和盐，而快餐正好满足了这些渴望。

That's because evolutionary psychologists argue that our bodies crave fats, sugar, and salt, and fast food satisfies those cravings.

没错。

True.

但从进化角度来看，人类渴望脂肪、糖和盐，是为了在饥荒时期储备能量。

But evolutionarily speaking, humans crave fat, sugar, and salt to shore up energy for times of famine.

不过我们大多数人很幸运，永远不会经历那种情况。

Something most of us thankfully will never experience.

是的。

Yes.

是的。

Yes.

也许吧。

Perhaps.

而且因为

And because of

这种进化上的渴望，当你吃快餐时，大脑会释放化学物质，告诉你要尽情享受。

this evolutionary craving, when you eat fast food, your brain releases chemicals telling you to indulge.

你的大脑不会区分加工过的和未加工的糖、盐和脂肪，所以人们很难停止吃快餐。

Your brain doesn't discriminate between processed and unprocessed sugar, salt, and fat, which is why people can struggle to stop eating fast food.

什么？

What?

那倒不是……

That's not...

哦。

Oh.

好吧。

Okay.

好吧。

Okay.

那倒是真的。

That's true too.

但我能说什么呢？

But what can I say?

不管你喜不喜欢，快餐是人类创造的最美味、最受欢迎的食物之一。

Like it or not, fast food is some of the tastiest, most popular food humanity has ever created.

而且最重要的是，只要适量吃，或者偶尔当作犒劳，它不会对你造成伤害。

And best of all, eaten in moderation or as a special treat now and then, it won't cause you harm.

没错。

That's true.

而且，现在来一个汉堡和薯条正合我意。

Also, a burger and fries would really hit the spot right now.

再来点鸡块、洋葱圈、鸡肉三明治，哦，还有一个设计精良、不会滴汁的墨西哥卷饼。

And some chicken nuggets, and onion rings, and a chicken sandwich, oh, an expertly designed dripless taco.

你运气真好，下一个出口就有一个美食广场。

Lucky for you, there's a food court coming up at the next exit.

那里有白城堡、麦当劳、In-N-Out、肯德基、汉堡王和塔可钟。

They've got a White Castle, McDonald's, In N Out, KFC, Burger King, and Taco Bell.

我可以一路吃遍快餐历史，然后明天再开始吃得健康。

I can eat our way through fast food history, and then I'll go back to eating better tomorrow.

你觉得怎么样？

What do you say?

要不要跟我一起去吃点？

Will you join me in a bite?

晚上？

Night?

当然好啊。

I sure will.

我只希望他们有圆桌。

I just hope they have a round table.
