每天扎在美食堆里,是一个吃货能想象到的最美好的事。想必每一个吃货的心中,都曾经幻想过做一份每天与“吃吃吃”打交道的工作吧。
在你心中,美食特工会是什么样的呢?007的装备,把枪换成锅铲刀叉?还是怪盗神偷一样,专门瞄准山珍海味?或者是西装笔挺加副太阳镜的间谍,刺探各路美食情报?
下面,就让我们为你介绍10种让各路吃货羡慕不已的“美食特工”吧。
巧克力猎人
你在咬下一口巧克力棒的时候,肯定想不出可可豆是怎么一路来到你嘴里,触动你味蕾的的吧?
来认识Ray Major吧,他是Scharffen Berger的常驻巧克力猎人!他的工作就是在全世界“狩猎”用来制作手工巧克力最好的可可豆源。
利用工作之便,他去过了尼加拉瓜、比利时、加纳、墨西哥、巴西、玻利维亚、瓜地马拉……
而现在这个列表还在增长。在这些旅程里,Major和他的队友可以观察了可可豆的种植大棚,评估可可树的情况,讨论庄稼的生长情况,亲尝各种最新鲜的果肉酱,从而研究可可豆的质量。
有啥好处:环球旅行+巧克力=你还想要啥?
雪糕味觉大师
Peter Lind是Ben&Jerry的原生雪糕专家(没错,这职位就叫这名字)。Peter平均每周都消化2到3升的雪糕,一天可多达25种口味。
这些疯狂的举动的目的是什么?
是为了Ben&Jerry可以尽可能地提供最美味的产品。
Peter和他的团队先设想出一种口味,然后不断地品尝、调整、再品尝、再调整,如此反复直到他们完全满意。
“你可以弄出一个辣椒雪糕,但具体要多辣人们才愿意买单呢?”那就是一个味觉大师应该要解决的难题了。
有啥好处:你成为第一个尝试全新雪糕口味的人
养蜂人
养蜂人,就是养蜜蜂的农民。一个养蜂人必须得看管着成千上万的蜂群来取得蜂蜜,然后卖出去。就像其他农民一样,一个养蜂人必须保护他珍贵的蜂蜜不被其他害虫玷污。
因为必须长期在蜂巢附近晃悠,有时候还需要随着花期带着蜜蜂们“迁徙”,所以也是一个相当危险和累人的职业。不过,养蜂人应该是世界上最不用担心买到“假蜂蜜”的人了。
有啥好处:随时获得真正的来自蜂巢的“金色财富”
菜谱测试改进员
要做出一份合格的菜谱并不简单,不断完美菜谱和写出精准描述是一个菜谱测试员的责任。
根据不同的任务,他们既可以把一团乱麻整理成一份菜谱,也可以帮助星级大厨调整一下他们的菜谱。
举个例子,当菜谱作者和菜谱改进员Sarah Huck在 “农家烤羊” 工作的时候,她会利用她渊博的食物知识,列举出各种食物的不同的烹调温度,从而找到最佳口味的食材组合,甚至实现各种配料里面那些数值大得吓人的计量转换。
有啥好处:虽然测试员要花很多时间在阅读菜谱、采购食物,但是也是每天都在吃吃吃的节奏。
美食采购员
或许美食采购员这个名头听起来不是很厉害,但是,你要知道你在超市买的每一样食品,他们都掌握着“生死大权”。
除了参加老牌的美食节目和当地的食品节之外,一个食物采购员还会研究什么食物应该在货架上销售,而什么应该被撤下来。
根据 Whole Foods Market 的Kara Rubin说“百分之八十的采购员的工作,是研究现在在卖的产品有没有相克的现象。”
他们决定什么应该停止销售,把地方腾出来给最新且最好的食品。尽管他们是最后拍板决定的人,但是他们还是会被食物消费的趋向和需求所影响。
所以,为人民的健康发声吧!
有啥好处:就像看到你的名字出现在圣光一样,你选择的产品会在全国上下所有的货架上销售。
名厨助理
在每个成功的名厨的背后,都有一个默默努力付出的助手。除了在厨房里与主厨“战斗”在最前线的助手,名厨还需要一个能够管理日程与形象的超级助理。他们集多重技能于一身,既要看大门,也要懂杂耍。
他们的工作每天都不同。但基本上包括安排采访和拍照、管理大厨的推特账号、协调菜谱交流、回复粉丝的邮件,护送大厨去早间节目、还要回复成千上百个电话和邮件以及安排VIP预订。
有啥好处:能品尝顶级的食物,能去到各种顶级盛事的现场(嗨,超级碗杯!),还能与著名大厨举杯对酌。
食材采购员
厨师们一般都会亲自帮餐厅采购菜品的原材料,但随着“保护本地食品运动”急速发展的脚步,不少厨师也开始请准也得采购人来搜罗和收集他们要的食物原材料。
Johanna Kolodny,一个在纽约出版局工作的采购员,每一天基本上都从农贸市场开始,寻找当季的本地食材、乳酪还有人道饲养宰杀的肉类。
同时,她也会留意有哪些新的食材是应该拿给厨师去品尝的。回到办公室,她开始追踪她采购的产品的流向,并通过调查新的承包商,给商家提供如西班牙腌肉香肠、鸡肉等等。
有啥好处:在乡野搜集原料的同时,享受美丽的自然风光。
饮食趋向分析师
快餐店应该什么时候把帕尼尼摆上餐牌呢?饮食趋势分析师会告诉你:依据消费趋势。
在三藩市的Kara Nielsen,是一个在烹饪技术研究部门工作的趋向分析师。她专门负责甄别出新的食品消费趋向,并向客人提供饮食趋势分析资讯,以便餐厅老板能把握潮流,研发新菜式。
这就是为什么我们有时候会发现,“咦?怎么最近开了那么多类似的餐厅?”
“我的目标是关注整个食品界, “Nielsen 解释说,“这需要大量的研究。” Nielsen 会研究博客、行业杂志和全国上下各种菜单,还得观看大量的美食节目。当然,还有另一个信息来源,就是各路吃货了。
有啥好处:“餐厅会给我报销所有费用。” Nielsen说。
啤酒酿造大师
一瓶看似简单的青岛啤酒,凝结了酵母、大麦、酒花与水的自然精华,而一个酿酒大师的职责就是给研究如何酿造最好的啤酒。
啤酒的酿造并不是一成不变的,那就意味着创新、改革、质量管理和研究配方。啤酒酿造师关注的不仅仅是原料的甄选,还有酿造工艺,甚至连啤酒瓶子的包装都有讲究。
花了这么多力气,只为酒客们送一瓶最是“大快人心”啤酒。毕竟,啤酒才不会在树上长出来呢!
有啥好处:每天都可以喝几口美味的啤酒
餐厅宣传员
在这个媒体大发展的时代,每个餐厅都需要一个宣传员来统一对外的口径。宣传员、或者公关代表,通常负责向世界宣布新餐厅的开张资讯。
那么他们是如何把消息散播出去的呢?
通过不断地给杂志、报纸、网络编辑和早间节目的监制发推销信;给媒体精英营造一个消息泄露的假象;然后在截稿之前给作者们提供信息,保证他们不会错过报道一个故事的机会。
有啥好处:和大厨一起工作,以及与顶级美食编辑同台对酌。
