In Florence, fashion extends beyond the runways and into the kitchen.
在佛羅倫斯,時尚從伸展台上延伸至廚房內。

  Everybody knows that people from every corner of the globe flock to Florence, Italy for its world famous fashion weeks. The city buzzes with thevibrant energy of fashion enthusiasts and influential people in fashion and art. In addition to fashion shows or art exhibits, there is design to be found elsewhere in the city because many gourmet restaurants transform their kitchens into fashion houses of their own. When the city of Florence hosts the men's fashion show of the season, caterer Galateo Ricevimenti and his team need to step uptheir game. Nevertheless, Ricevimenti and his team have a lot of experience andare up for the challenge. They were awarded first prize for best Italian caterers in a competition where more than 60 of the top national catering companies took part.
  With an influx of thousands of people in the city, the additional mouths mean more work, less time, and loads of extra stress, even for the most experienced of chefs. This is because the guests are some of the most critical in the world. National Geographic Channel's Megafood: Catering to Fashion goes right into Ricevimenti's kitchen and sees what it really takes to get food from the frying pans and onto the plates of hundreds of people at the same time. Will they snap under pressure, or will they deliver their fashion-themed culinary dreams with collective ease? They will certainly be tested to their absolute limits.

超級倉廚實戰  夢幻料理秀
在佛羅倫斯,時尚從伸展台上延伸至廚房內。
  眾所皆知,全球各地的人都會為了世界知名的時裝週而湧入義大利佛羅倫斯市。這座城市總是因為聚集許多時尚愛好者和時裝及藝術界中舉足輕重的人士而顯得熙熙攘攘。除了時裝秀或藝術展覽之外,你還可以在該市其他地方找到巧思,因為許多美食餐廳都將他們的廚房轉變為自己專屬的時尚店。當佛羅倫斯舉辦當季的男裝時尚秀,宴席承辦者加拉提歐.里西維蒙提和他的團隊也得上緊發條。然而,里西維蒙提和其團隊經驗相當豐富,且已準備好接受挑戰。他們之前曾在一場有六十多家義大利國內頂尖宴席承辦商參加的最佳宴席承辦商競賽中獲頒第一名。
  隨著數千人湧入該市,多出來的這麼多張嘴巴意味著更多的工作、更少的時間以及龐大的額外壓力,甚至對經驗最老道的廚師而言也是如此。這是因為這些客人是世界上最吹毛求疵的顧客之一。國家地理頻道的《超級倉廚實戰??夢幻料理秀》節目直接深入里西維蒙提的廚房,同時探討要為數百人準備食物背後所要付出的努力。他們會在壓力下崩潰,還是會用集體的從容態度來實現他們以時尚為主題的烹飪美夢呢?他們絕對會受到極限的考驗。
