I think it's FBOY Island.

我覺得是《渣男島》。

It's all scripted.

都是劇本。

I know they kind of ruined my image, because they wanted me to be one of the star of the show and I didn't want it.

我知道我形象有點被毀了，因為他們想讓我成為節目的明星之一，但我不想。

So it was, it was kind of a bad experience.

所以，那個經歷滿糟的。

He got scared... Oh, poor baby because he seems like a nice guy.

他嚇到了。可憐的小東西，他看起來這麼善良。

Well, I come from a really small town.

我來自一個很小的小鎮。

My own town is... and I don't think you know it.

小鎮叫……我想大家應該不知道。

It's like a postal card from the 17th century.

很像17世紀明信片上的那種樣子。

I was no really a chef.

我不是主廚。

I was associated.

我是助理廚師。

It's at the end when you have all the plate line on the table, you have to make them perfect seasoning, the sauce, cleaning up and send it to the kings.

就是所有的盤子都擺好在桌上時，你把料理調味好、還有醬汁、然後收尾後送給顧客。

I want a woman who makes me feel comfortable and make me smile.

我想要一位能讓我感到舒適、讓我笑的女士。

Who is simple, who is going to talk to me about her childhood and not try to impress me for what you have.

她很簡單，會和我聊聊她的童年，不會顯擺自己擁有的。

That's all I ask for.

我想要的只有這些。

I'm from Northern Ontario.

我來自安大略省北部。我媽媽來自特立尼達，所以我是加勒比海和加拿大人，我在那裡長大，都是法國人，我上的是法國學校，我上的是法國高中。

Northern Ontario, Canada.

加拿大的安大略省。

I made a Caribbean boeuf bourguignon.

我做了一個加勒比海式的紅酒燉牛肉。

I borrowed my expertise from cooking curries and... and then I added a touch of tamarind.

但借用了我煮咖喱和……的知識，然後我加了一點羅望子。

I think too often people follow a recipe and they're not really paying attention.

我認為人們常會遵循食譜，卻沒有真正用心在上面。

That happens in life. You're not really attentive and checking in with yourself and you can be 10 years and you're like, what is this relationship or what is this career?

就跟生活一樣，你沒有認真注意和檢查自己，然後在10年過去，你對自己的關係和職業一無所知。

I do like appreciate the attention to bring something more cultural, but it doesn't click in all those memories that I have about this French...

But it's new memories.

I'm originally from Ashburn, Virginia and I was introduced to French cooking through my grandma on my mom's side.

So it's gonna be mainly the boeuf bourguignon by himself. That's what I like as well.
