One of the last places you would expect to find a real Italian prince is driving a food truck on the streets of Los Angeles, California. But that hasn’t stopped His Royal Highness Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Umberto II, from trying his luck in the American?mobile?food business.
你不大會(huì)想到在加州洛杉磯大街小巷開著食品卡車的會(huì)是意大利王子。但這也阻止不了意大利皇室塞沃家族菲利韋托二世在美國(guó)移動(dòng)食品行業(yè)小試一把運(yùn)氣。

With a food truck with fresh Italian pasta that is loved around the world,he painted it in the colors of House Savoy and named it “Prince of Venice”, after one of his would-be titles which are not recognized by the Italian government.
菲利韋托二世的這輛卡車裝著風(fēng)靡世界的意大利面,他把卡車漆成塞沃家族的色彩,并且起名為“威尼斯王子”,這是他原本要世襲的頭銜,雖然意大利并不會(huì)承認(rèn)。

Filiberto says he was mesmerizes by all the “beautiful and colorful” food trucks in Los Angeles, and had his Eureka moment when he realized almost all of them were offering Asian and Mexican food, but none had Italian cuisine on the menu. He hied a chef and started driving around L.A. selling dishes like fettucine with shrimp and clams or linguine with truffles for as little as $15.
菲利韋托說這些“色澤鮮麗”的食品卡車讓他著了迷,他發(fā)覺幾乎所有食品卡車都提供亞洲和墨西哥食物,卻沒有一輛菜單上有意大利美食時(shí),有如發(fā)現(xiàn)了新大陸一般。他雇傭了一名廚師,開始在洛杉磯一邊開車,一邊賣對(duì)蝦蛤蜊意大利寬面條和松露意大利扁面條,售價(jià)低廉,僅15美元。

Until opening his food truck business in Los Angeles, Filiberto was often spotted on the red carpet and made appearances on various Italian TV shows. But he seems to have turned a blind shoulder to that lifestyle and has dedicated himself to the Prince of Venice food truck. And business is apparently going great.
一直到在洛杉磯開啟食品卡車前夕,菲利韋托一直在紅毯上和諸多意大利電視節(jié)目里現(xiàn)身。但他似乎要背離那種生活方式,潛心致力于他的威尼斯王子食品卡車,顯然,生意很好。

“The 'Prince of Venice' food truck has already become a phenomenon,” the Italian royal says. “Americans like to eat quickly and have their lunch in a park or on a bench. I'm offering them a quality product. And, after all, where else in America can you say that you've been fed by an Italian prince?”
“'威尼斯王子'的食物卡車已經(jīng)成為了熱點(diǎn)現(xiàn)象”,意大利王室人員稱?!懊绹?guó)人喜歡快速飲食,在公園或者長(zhǎng)凳上吃午飯。我給他們提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的食品。畢竟,在美國(guó)其它地方,哪里還有意大利王子給你為喂食呢?”
