For many families living in modern China, food is no longer one of the biggest concerns when it comes to drawing up the weekly budget. Yet as cliché as it may sound, food is still the stuff of life.
對于生活在當今中國的許多家庭來說，食物不再是家庭支出中的重頭戲。但是俗話說得好，“民以食為天”。

Some people even believe that eating well is the only way to attain true happiness. So with all this in mind, it's self-evident that TV shows about food are more in-demand than ever.
有些人甚至把享用美食視作人生幸福的唯一源泉。由此看來，人們對于美食節目的渴望與日俱增。

下面，就為大家推薦幾部良心制作的美食番：

A Bite of Shunde
尋味順德
豆瓣評分8.9

This three-episode documentary series introduces some of the history and stories behind the famed cuisine of Shunde, Guangdong province. A Bite Of Shunde reminisces over talented chefs of old and asks how China can draw strength from its storied food traditions.
一共三集的紀錄片講述了廣東順德最富盛名之菜肴背后的淵源和故事。《尋味順德》不僅是致敬我們充滿智慧的祖先，更是表達了一個鮮明的主題——從中國飲食傳統中汲取前行的力量。

The documentary series has also been promoted as a means of introducing Guangdong's food culture to those unfamiliar with it.
這部紀錄片也是不熟悉當地文化的人了解順德風土人情的橋梁。

Chef's Table
主廚的餐桌
豆瓣評分8.7

Each episode of Chef's Table profiles a single world-renowned chef. Creator David Gelb considers it a follow-up to his critically acclaimed documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Both series aim to give viewers some insight into the world's best cuisines and the cooking secrets behind the scenes.
在《主廚的餐桌》中，每一集都講述了一位世界級大廚的故事。創造者戴維將這部紀錄片視作他備受贊譽的紀錄片《壽司之神》之后的又一力作。《主廚的餐桌》系列致力于給觀眾帶來的不僅僅是美食，還有烹飪背后的秘密。

The first three series of Chef's Table feature chefs from culinary destinations such as Italy, Argentina, Sweden, Japan and Germany. The fourth series, meanwhile, focuses more on pastry chefs and is targeted at those of us with a sweet tooth!

The Solitary Gourmet
孤獨的美食家
豆瓣評分9.3

Based on a bestselling comic, The Solitary Gourmet has been one of the most popular series on Japanese TV since its debut in 2012. In both the original and the Chinese adaptation, the show's protagonist visit various restaurants and food stalls to sample the local cuisine. Along the way, he meets people from all walks of life and tries some of the best food each area has to offer.
《孤獨的美食家》由極受歡迎的同名漫畫改編而來，自2012年上映以來一直是日本電視臺收視率最高的劇集。無論是在原版還是中國改良版中，片中男主角都一以貫之的走訪各地餐廳小館，力圖找到真正的當地美味。他沿途邂逅了形形色色的人群和鮮為人知的地方佳肴。

對于很多大忙人來說，一頓飯的時間怎么可能完整地看完一集美食番呢！大可不必擔心，有種新興的動畫類型正是為你們量身打造的：

Ultra-short animations, or "instant-noodle shows" as they're sometime known, offer viewers a bite-size portion of TV that they can enjoy on the go.
超短動畫又被稱作“泡面番”，因其超短的時長讓觀者忙里抽閑刷部劇成為可能！

下面CD君就為大家推薦一部“泡面番”中的經典之作：

Wakako－zake
和歌子酒
豆瓣評分8.5

In Wakako-zake, a young woman named Murasaki Wakako loves nothing more than going out alone to eat and drink, especially when something unpleasant has happened at work.
《和歌子酒》講述了一位叫做村崎和歌子的年輕女性的故事，她除了獨自出去享用美食外別無所愛，尤其工作上碰到不開心的時候她一個人去喝酒最能舒解心結。

This anime series follows Wakako through her many solitary outings, depicting her feelings about each dish she samples through her many relatable facial expressions. It's sure to whet viewers' appetite!
這部動漫沿著和歌子的腳步，通過她詼諧而形象的面部表情向觀眾描摹了和歌子品嘗每一道菜肴的內心感受。這無疑也將喚起觀者的食欲！

Plus each episode lasts less than three minutes, making it ideal viewing for anyone in a rush!
不僅如此，《和歌子酒》每一集的時長都在三分鐘以內，匆忙的你也能從中獲得很多樂趣！
