I was here, open, Sunday to Sunday, rocking out for our guys.

我就在這裡連著好幾個禮拜開張，為我們的職籃弟兄們努力。

That's Chef Lex, one of just 10 chefs invited to cook for players inside the NBA bubble, a COVID-free isolation zone on Disney World's campus.

這位是 Lex 主廚，他是受邀在 NBA 防疫泡泡，也就是迪士尼世界度假區的新冠病毒隔離區中，為球員們烹飪的 10 位主廚之一。

Disney was initially responsible for feeding the 22 teams that made it into the bubble.

剛開始迪士尼官方負責為進入泡泡的 22 隊伍供餐。

But after negative Twitter reviews and complaints from players, the NBA brought in chefs like Lex to live inside the bubble under strict quarantine.

然而隨著球員在推特上對食物的負評與抱怨不斷，NBA 於是請來了像是 Lex 這樣的主廚住在有著嚴格隔離規定的防疫泡泡中。

Everything that we have to do has to be at the hotel.

我們做的任何事情都得保持在飯店裡面。

We cannot leave. We cannot wander.

我們不能離開，也不能隨意閒晃。

She and the other chefs whip up about 4,000 meals a week.

他與其他的主廚們每個星期得準備約 4,000 份餐點。

But Chef Lex is no stranger to star-studded clientele.

但 Lex 主廚並非第一次為巨星級客戶備餐。

She's cooked for the Portland Trail Blazers, Oprah Winfrey, Kelly Rowland, Meek Mill, and competed on Food Network's "Chopped."

他曾為波特蘭拓荒者隊、歐普拉·溫芙蕾、凱莉·羅蘭、米克・米爾供餐過，還曾在美食頻道上的《廚藝大戰》參賽過。

We followed Chef Lex to see what it's really like cooking thousands of meals for players inside the NBA bubble.

我們跟著 Lex 主廚的腳步，想看看在 NBA 隔離泡泡中為球員們烹煮上千份餐點到底是怎麼樣的場面。

Let's feed our guys the best food possible.

讓我們用最棒的食物款待職籃弟兄們吧。

For Chef Lex, each day inside the bubble starts at 4:30 a.m.

Lex 主廚在防疫泡泡中的每一天從早上 4:30 開始。

I'm just throwing on the same shirt and throwing my hair up and, thank God, getting on a bus.

我每天都穿上同樣的衣服、把頭髮梳上去，然後，謝天謝地，搭上巴士。

There are technically two zones within the NBA bubble.

技術上來說，NBA 防疫泡泡被劃分為兩塊區域。

The inner bubble houses the players and staff, and the outer bubble is where the chefs live and work.

內圈的泡泡是球員與工作人員居住的地方，而外圈的泡泡則是主廚們生活與工作的地方。

And they're not allowed to cross between the two zones.

而他們不被允允在兩個區域間移動。

We have these really, really strict rules, and if you don't follow them, you have to go.

我們有著非常、非常嚴格的規定，如果你不好好遵守，就得離開。

Chef Lex lives at the Waldorf Astoria, but cooks inside the executive chef kitchen.

Lex 主廚住在華爾道夫酒店，但是要去行政主廚廚房烹飪。

Buses transport her between the two cleared areas.

而在這兩個可以通過的區域之間，有負責載人的巴士路線。

Rise and shine, Mr. Will!

早上好啊，Will 先生！

Yes, my guy.

我的好兄弟。

Joy!

Joy！

Rise and shine! - Rise and shine, sis!

早上好啊！- 早上好啊，姊妹！

Chef Lex and her assistant, Joy, run Comfort Kitchen, a pop-up Southern and Caribbean restaurant that Lex launched specifically for the NBA bubble.

Lex 與他的助手 Joy 負責營運「康福廚房」，這是間 Lex 專門為 NBA 防疫泡泡全新開張的南方與加勒比料理臨時餐廳。

All the other chefs who came into the bubble were attached to a team.

所有其他在防疫泡泡中的主廚都各自有所屬的單一隊伍。

But Chef Lex came in as an individual chef.

然而 Lex 主廚則是獨立的主廚。

I get to the kitchen, and it's time to rock and roll. As soon as I get there, I hit the ground running.

我到了廚房後，就得開始大展身手了。我一到現場就立刻開始工作。

Teams can browse her menu, and place team or à la carte orders through her website.

隊伍們能夠在他的網站上瀏覽菜單，並預定團隊或單點訂單。

But orders aren't guaranteed.

但誰也不能保證總是會有訂單。

As teams leaves, it is also affecting my sales, and we are all affected by the eliminations.

隨著球隊的離開，我的銷售量也會受到影響。也就是說我們都會受到淘汰賽的影響。

But that's the name of the game.

不過遊戲規則就是這樣啦。

Chef Lex receives her team orders the night before, so she has a chance to order all the food she needs.

Lex 主廚會在前一晚收到團隊訂單，讓他能有機會購買全部所需的食材。

Since she's not allowed to leave the bubble, personal shoppers outside do all of her shopping.

由於他無法離開防疫泡泡，泡泡外的個人代買者於是會替他進行所有的採購。

Thanks, sis.

謝啦，姊妹。

On my way to cook. See y'all later!

該去煮飯了。等會見囉！

Masked up and with her station very clean...

戴好口罩，並將廚房保持的非常乾淨...

Washing my hands, 50,000 times. Today!

我光今天一天就已經洗五萬次手了！

Chef Lex and Joy get to work.

Lex 主廚與 Joy 便著手開始工作。

They start with making the traditional breakfasts.

他們先從製作傳統的早餐開始。

Right now, I'm getting brunch ready for the Heat.

現在我正在為熱火隊準備早午餐。

They had an amazing game last night and won.

他們昨晚比賽表現得非常好，贏下了比賽。

So we are doing turkey bacon, chicken sausage.

所以我們正在做一些火雞培根和雞肉香腸。

Follow me while I grab my catfish.

跟著我一起來看看鯰魚做得怎麼樣吧。

Beautiful! That's for my catfish and grits.

太棒了！這樣炸鯰魚和玉米粥就完成了。

Literally, the comfort food of the bubble.

完全就是防疫泡泡裡的療癒美食。

It's 11 o'clock, and we have one hour to get all this food out.

現在是 11 點，我們有一個小時可以把全部的餐點送出去。

Crazy, but we're gonna make it happen.

有點瘋狂，但我們能達成的。

Chef Lex, thanks for hosting this great team meal here for Heat Nation.

Lex 主廚，感謝你為熱火隊準備的超讚團隊餐。

It was the perfect way to celebrate our win last night. Appreciate you.

這簡直是慶祝我們昨晚勝利的完美方式。感謝你。

It's just Chef Lex and her assistant, Joy, doing all the cooking for Comfort Kitchen.

Lex 主廚與他的助手 Joy 負責康福廚房的所有烹飪。

Joy Dariel is instrumental in keeping Comfort Kitchen open and running.

Joy Dariel 對保持康福廚房順利開張營運來說不可或缺。

I mean, I was able to walk away from certain parts of the cooking, 'cause I can micromanage sometimes.

我是說，有了他我就能不用管特定部分的烹飪細節，因為有時候我會鑽牛角尖，過於親力親為。

Together, they're making all kinds of comfort food.

他們攜手合作一起烹調各式各樣的療癒美食。

Chicken and waffles, shrimp, chicken wings.

炸雞鬆餅、蝦仁、雞翅。

Let's go get this jalapeno salmon.

來看看墨西哥辣椒鮭魚的煮得怎麼樣吧。

All of the things that I made here are all my own recipes.

我做的所有菜餚都是出自自己的食譜。

I'm also, like, jacked. I want to say 20 times stranger now than when I got here.

我的身體也練壯了。我覺得我大概比剛開始來這邊時還壯了 20 倍吧。

Once everything's cooked, it's packaged up for the journey to the inner bubble.

在餐點都煮好了之後，便要被包裝並開始送到內圈泡泡中。

Locked in. Focused, baby. Almost done, baby!

聚精會神。保持專注，寶貝。就快結束了，寶貝！

Joy, you almost done, baby?

Joy，你快好了嗎，寶貝？

Yes, baby.

是的，寶貝。

This is the Celtics' breakfast order.

這是塞爾提克隊的早餐訂單。

Because of COVID, we have to make sure that we Saran-wrap the containers, which is a really important step.

因為新冠病毒的關係，我們必須卻保有用保鮮膜把餐點都包好。這是非常重要的步驟。

Then we bag. All bags are then labeled and stapled closed.

接著我們要裝袋。所有的袋子接著會標上標籤，並用釘書機釘起來。

That's one of the most important parts, next to Saran-wrapping, 'cause it's how everybody identifies their food.

這是最重要的步驟之一，僅次於保鮮膜，因為這樣才能讓大家知道自己的餐是哪一袋。

And I'll be keeping this in the hot box until it's time to go.

我會把餐點先放在保溫箱哩，直到要送餐為止。

Because Chef Lex isn't allowed to enter the inner bubble, she has to hand off the food to runners.

由於 Lex 主廚無法進入內圈泡泡，他必須將食物交給送餐員。

For you, my dear, you got [Denver] Nuggets.

親愛的，你要負責的是 [丹佛] 金塊隊。

This one is for NBA staff.

這袋則是給 NBA 工作人員的。

Then the relay race begins.

然後接力賽就開始了。

The first runner can only go as far as the security point for the inner bubble.

第一位送餐員只能抵達內圈泡泡的安檢站。

There, it's picked up by a second runner on the other side.

餐點於是接著由在另一側的第二名送餐員接手。

That person finally delivers it to the players.

這個人最後再把餐點送到球員們的手上。

Chef Lex done it again. My food is here.

Lex 主廚又成功啦。我的餐點到了。

This is my go-to. French toast, bacon, and eggs. On point. Bomb.

這是我必點的餐。法式吐司、培根和煎蛋。恰到好處，美味無比。

Appreciate you, girl.

感謝你啦，女孩。

Good job, everybody! - Good job, everybody!

大家幹得漂亮！- 大家幹得漂亮！

Then it's back to the hotel to rest up and get ready to do it all over again.

接著就是回到旅觀好好休息，並準備隔天再來一次。

Working in a situation where I am not able to directly hand off food to my client was really hard, and a huge, like, relinquish of power for me.

在這種無法直接把餐點直接送到客戶手上的情況下工作，對我而言相當艱難，好像被剝奪了某種權力一樣。

'Cause I like my food to get there and be as beautiful as it was when I sent it out.

因為我希望我的食物到客人面前時，跟我從廚房送出去的時候一樣的漂亮。

But I have a lot of repeat customers, so that means that my runners have been doing a fantastic job.

但既然我有許多的回頭客，那就代表我的送餐員們做得很好吧。

This has been probably the hardest work that I have done in quite a few years.

這可能是我這些年來做過最艱難的工作了。

Most work ever, but I swear I'm beasting, and I'm really proud of myself.

工作量是最繁重的，但我發誓我正激發自己的潛能，而我對自己感到很驕傲。

I feel like such a boss. Thank you for asking me to do this.

我感覺無所不能。謝謝你們邀請我過來。

Shout-out to the NBA and the bubble and all the guys here.

感謝 NBA 和防疫泡泡，還有在這裡的大家。
