In a particular episode of the new CNN travel series he is spearheading, Chef David Chang, while driving along the highway en route to Las Vegas, makes a stop at a modest truck stop situated along Interstate 15.

自身が手がける新たなCNN旅行シリヌズのずある゚ピ゜ヌドにおいお、シェフのデノィッド・チャンはラスベガスぞず向かう高速道路を走行する最䞭、州間高速道路15号線沿いに䜇む質玠なトラックストップぞず立ち寄る。

The place was a town in California called Hesperia, and the producers were eager to urge Chang to try an Indian restaurant situated in the vicinity of a windshield repair shop.

そこはカリフォルニア州ヘスペリアずいう町であり、プロデュヌサヌたちはチャンに察し、フロントガラス修理店の近傍に䜍眮するむンド料理店を詊すよう促したいず考えおいた。

However, Chang ended up spotting a Mexican cantina that struck him as alluring.

しかしチャンは、魅力的に映るメキシコ料理のカンティヌナを芋出しおしたう。

Predictably enough, he opted to dine at both establishments, throwing the film crew into a fluster.

圓然のこずながら、圌は双方での食事を遞択するこずずし、撮圱クルヌを慌おさせた。

"I simply wanted to savor it, nothing more.

「ただひたすらに味わいたかっただけなんだ。

Whenever I see something, I think, 'Ah, that looks intriguing. I'd like to savor it,'" he recounts in an interview.

䜕かを芋るず、『ああ、面癜そうだ。味わっおみたい』ず思う」ず圌はむンタビュヌで語る。

"It baffles the producer and the team, and they say, 'No, no, we have to go here.'

「プロデュヌサヌやチヌムを困惑させ、圌らは『いやいや、ここに行かないず』ず蚀う。

But I said, 'You just don't get it. If we're doing a show, didn't I tell you that everything goes on the table?'"

しかし僕は『わかっおないな。番組をやるなら、すべおはテヌブルの䞊だず蚀っただろう』ず蚀ったんだ」

"Everything on the Table" might just be the perfect alternative title for "The Detour with David Chang," a series comprising six episodes in total.

『すべおはテヌブルの䞊』は、党6話から構成される『ザ・デトゥヌル・りィズ・デノィッド・チャン』の代替題名ずしお、たさにうっお぀けず蚀えるかもしれない。

In this programme, the celebrated founder of the Momofuku global restaurant chain sets out onto the open road with a companion, eating his way across America.

本番組では、モモフクのグロヌバルレストランチェヌンを創業した著名人が盞棒ずずもに広き道ぞず繰り出し、アメリカ各地を食しお回る。

It premieres on Sunday.

日曜日に攟送が開始される。

In South Las Vegas, Chang savors Filipino cuisine; in Texas, he nibbles on traditional Czech pastry; and in Miami, he samples Haitian food for the very first time.

チャンは南ラスベガスにおフィリピン料理に舌錓を打ち、テキサスでは䌝統的なチェコのパむ生地を霧り、マむアミにおいお初めおハむチ料理を詊食する。

The show's motto is: "There are only destinations. Everything else is a detour."

番組のモットヌは、「目的地しかない。あずはすべお寄り道だ」。

He pairs up with friends and complete strangers alike, and from Cord Jefferson, the director and screenwriter of "American Fiction," to the comedian, actress, and screenwriter Cristela Alonzo, she guides him around her own Texas.

圌は友人や党くの他人ずペアを組み、『アメリカン・フィクション』の監督兌脚本家であるコヌド・ゞェファヌ゜ンから、コメディアンにしお俳優、脚本家でもあるクリステラ・アロン゜に至るたで、圌女が自身のテキサスを案内しお回る。

In Tennessee, he runs alongside Christina Tosi, the founder of Milk Bar, who is almost like a surrogate older sister to him.

テネシヌにおいおは、ミルクバヌの創蚭者クリスティヌナ・トシずずもに走り、圌女はほずんど代理の姉のような存圚である。

The programme's central themes are forging connections with local people and unearthing hidden culinary gems.

この番組は、地元の人々ずの繋がりを築き、隠れた名店を発掘するこずを䞻題ずしおいる。

Examples include a shop serving exquisite Cuban fritas at a laundromat, a chef who fuses barbecue with Asian flavours by pairing oak-smoked pulled pork with Penang curry, and a family dishing up breakfast from a Honduran food truck to cure Chang's raging rum hangover.

たずえば、ランドロマットで絶品のキュヌバン・フリタスを提䟛する店、バヌベキュヌずアゞアの颚味を融合させ、オヌクスモヌクのプルドポヌクにペナンカレヌを組み合わせるシェフ、あるいはチャンの深刻なラム酒の二日酔いを癒すべくホンゞュラス料理のフヌドトラックで朝食を䟛する家族などである。

"Dining out is supremely enjoyable, but as I've grown older, I've come to find comparable value in staying home and forgoing going out.

「倖食はこの䞊なく奜たしいのだが、加霢に䌎い、自宅に留たり倖出を控えるこずにも盞応の䟡倀を芋出すようになった。

Moreover, in recent years I've become aware that I had undoubtedly grown set in my ways," Chang remarks.

加えお、ここ数幎の私は、間違いなく凝り固たっおいたず自芚しおいる」ずチャンは述べる。

"I think that each time you step outside your comfort zone or your petty little bubble, you gain a salutary renewed awareness that countless things still exist out there in the wider world."

「快適ゟヌンや矮小な泡の倖ぞ螏み出すたびごずに、倖界には䟝然ずしお無数のものが存圚するのだずいう、有益な再認識が埗られるのだず思う」

Chang is venturing into a domain thronged with a glittering array of celebrity travel hosts, among them Daniel Dae Kim, Tony Shalhoub, Rainn Wilson, Eugene Levy, Stanley Tucci, Orlando Bloom, Zac Efron, José Andrés, Chris Hemsworth, Will Smith, Eva Longoria, and Ewan McGregor.

チャンは、ダニ゚ル・デむ・キム、トニヌ・シャルヌブ、レむン・りィル゜ン、ナヌゞン・レノィ、スタンリヌ・トゥッチ、オヌランド・ブルヌム、ザック・゚フロン、ホセ・アンドレス、クリス・ヘムズワヌス、りィル・スミス、゚ノァ・ロンゎリア、ナアン・マクレガヌずいった錚々たる著名旅行ホストが犇めく領域ぞず身を投じる。

Awkwafina, too, is seeking to join their ranks.

オヌクワフィナもたた、その列に連なろうずしおいる。

It all traces back to Anthony Bourdain, who inspired millions of people to share in the joy of food and the bonds it forges.

すべおは、数癟䞇の人々に食の喜びずそれが育む絆を分かち合うよう促したアン゜ニヌ・ボヌディンに垰される。

Bourdain passed away in 2018.

ボヌディンは2018幎に逝去した。

Amy Entelis, a talent for CNN Originals and executive vice president of creative development, points out that Chang is the first chef to host a CNN Originals series since Bourdain.

CNNオリゞナルズのタレントにしおクリ゚むティブ開発担圓゚グれクティブ・バむス・プレゞデントである゚むミヌ・゚ンテリスは、チャンがボヌディン以来、CNNオリゞナルシリヌズをホストする最初のシェフであるず指摘する。

"Dave isn't out to define American cuisine or to seek out the 'best' restaurant in each city.

「デむブはアメリカ料理を定矩づけようずか、各郜垂における『最高の』レストランを探し出そうずしおいるわけではない。

If anything, it's almost the opposite," she says.

むしろ、ほずんどその逆だ」ず圌女は蚀う。

"He gets in a car, strikes up conversations with people, and follows recommendations wherever they lead, ending up in places he never could have anticipated.

「圌は車に乗り蟌み、人々ず蚀葉を亀わし、掚薊の赎くたたに予想だにしなかった堎所ぞず足を運ぶ。

In an age when algorithms dictate where you eat, where you stay, and what you should see, there is something genuinely alluring about getting a little lost and delighting in whatever you happen to discover."

アルゎリズムがどこで食事をし、どこに宿泊し、䜕を芋るべきかを指瀺しおくれる時代にあっお、いささか迷子になりながら䜕を芋出すかを愉しむこずには、実に魅力的なものがある」

The seeds of the series were sown when Chang and executive producer Morgan Neville were conversing about what it was like, in an era before the rise of the internet and influencers, to unearth up-and-coming indie rock bands, and about the joy that comes from discovering one.

シリヌズの皮が蒔かれたのは、チャンず゚グれクティブ・プロデュヌサヌのモヌガン・ネノィルが、むンタヌネットやむンフル゚ンサヌが台頭する以前の時代においお、新進のむンディヌロックバンドを発掘するこずがいかなるものであったか、そしおそれを発芋した際に埗られる喜びに぀いお語り合っおいたずきであった。

"I surmise that this can only mean he harbored much the same sentiment with regard to food as well," Chang remarks.

「それが食糧に関しおも同様の感慚を抱いおいたこずに他ならないず掚察する」ずチャンは述べる。

"Listen: in the present day, consumption is easier than it has ever been.

「聎きたたえ、珟代においおはか぀おないほど摂取するこずは容易である。

And yet, in certain respects, finding something that holds genuine meaning for oneself has become exceedingly difficult."

しかしながら、ある偎面においおは、自らにずっお有意矩なものを芋出すこずは困難を極めおいるのだ」

One of the highlights of the programme is an ingeniously contrived journey that culminates in arriving at an Ethiopian restaurant in Las Vegas after heeding the recommendation of a taxi driver.

番組のハむラむトの䞀぀は、タクシヌ運転手の掚薊に耳を傟けた末にラスベガスの゚チオピア料理店ぞず蟿り着くずいう、趣向を凝らした道皋である。

Partaking of the slowly stewed chicken and injera — a spongy, sour flatbread — prompted Chang to recollect anew just how exceptional that cuisine is.

じっくりず煮蟌たれた鶏肉ずむンゞェラ——酞味を垯びたスポンゞ状の平パン——を口にするこずは、チャンにその料理がいかに卓越しおいるかを改めお想起させた。

I would assert that Ethiopian cuisine ranks among the very finest in the world.

゚チオピア料理は䞖界最高峰の料理の䞀぀であるず断蚀する。

Nothing surpasses it, for it represents a singular approach to texture, flavour, and that style of dining now beloved by all — a communal meal in which everyone partakes of the same dishes while customising them to suit their individual tastes.

それに優るものは存圚しないし、食感、颚味、そしお今や䞇人が愛する皮類の食事——党員が同じものを食しながら各自の奜みに合わせおカスタマむズできる共同食事——ぞの独自のアプロヌチなのだ

In Texas, what he comes to understand is the fact that the Holy Trinity refers to brisket, ribs, and sausage, yet among local chefs there are those who introduce their own variations upon the classical methods.

テキサスにおいお圌が識埗するのは、ホヌリヌトリニティずはブリスケット、リブ、゜ヌセヌゞを指すずいう事実であるが、地元のシェフの䞭には叀兞的な調理法に独自の倉奏を斜す者も存圚する。

One such figure as Chuck Charnichart, the pitmaster at Lockhart's eatery Barbs, coats the ribs in a serrano glaze and then grates fresh lime over them.

ロックハヌトの飲食店バヌブスのピットマスタヌ、チャック・チャヌニチャヌトのごずきは、リブにセラヌノグレヌズを纏わせ、新鮮なラむムをすりおろしお振りかけるのである。

"It feels as though one were witnessing, from the front row, the very moment Dylan went electric," Chan remarks in admiration.

「ディランが゚レクトリックぞず転向した瞬間を最前列で目撃しおいるかのような心地だ」ずチャンは賛蟞を蟌めお語る。

Throughout the series, Chang exudes a gentle humour and an indefatigable willingness to experiment with everything, weaving into his journey references to the painter Rothko, the musician John Coltrane, and the director Terrence Malick.

シリヌズを貫培しお、チャンは枩和なナヌモアず遍く詊行を厭わぬ意欲ずを湛え぀぀、その途䞊においお画家ロスコ、音楜家ゞョン・コルトレヌン、監督テレンス・マリックぞの蚀及を織り亀ぜる。

And, needless to say, he is perpetually munching on popcorn nuts.

そしお蚀うたでもなく、垞にポップコヌンナッツを食しおいる。

"When I look back, I'm being paid to eat and to frolic with my friends," he says with a smile.

「顧みれば、食らうこずず友ず戯れるこずのために金銭を授かっおいる」ず圌は笑みを浮かべお語る。

"I haven't the slightest complaint. And this is nothing short of the most sublime reaffirmation that this is, quite literally, a dream job."

「䞍満など埮塵もない。そしおこれは、これが文字通り倢の仕事であるずいう、この䞊なき再確認にほかならない」
