Mâncarea aia de la reuniunea din arena de hochei din Albert Lea sună bine, mai ales cartofii copți cu lămâie și chiflele făcute în casă. Dar să aduci homar cu avionul până în zonele agricole mi se pare cam exagerat, când ai atâtea produse locale proaspete. John Lowery o fi având succes, dar eu tot aș prefera un pește prins de mine din Marea Neagră.

Suena rico ese menú de la reunión en la arena de hockey de Albert Lea, sobre todo las patatas asadas con limón y los panecillos caseros. Yo que soy cocinera siempre prefiero trabajar con lo que hay cerca, pero entiendo que a veces un cliente quiere algo especial como el homar. ¿Alguien sabe si John Lowery sigue volando marisco al medio del campo o ahora usa más ingredientes locales?

Homarul adus cu avionul mi se pare și mie cam exagerat când ai atâtea produse locale, dar cred că John Lowery face asta ca să atragă clienți din orașe mari. Ai prins vreodată ceva bun în Marea Neagră anul ăsta?

Sí, esas patatas al limón y los panecillos caseros suenan de lo más casero para una arena de hockey. Yo también prefiero cocinar con lo que crece en el huerto o se compra en el mercado de Sevilla, pero entiendo que un cliente pida langosta aunque haya que traerla en avión. ¿Has probado alguna vez a sustituir el marisco por algo local como gambas frescas del puerto?

Yes, those lemon potatoes and fresh buns sound like exactly the kind of food that keeps the world at the table. The flying lobster is clearly for the clientele from Bucharest or Cluj, not for the locals. What did you catch in the Black Sea this year, turbot or more mackerel?
