如果说，四川人对外地朋友最大的迁就是吃火锅点鸳鸯锅，那他们和韩国美食博主朴大一(Park Daeil)一起吃饭，则完全不用担心这个问题，因为他是一位麻辣川菜的忠实饕客。

If Sichuan locals order a two-flavor pot at a hop pot restaurant, this can be seen as being a welcomingaccommodation for friends from other places.However, this is wholly unnecessary when Sichuan locals eat with Park Daeil, a South Korean food blogger who is a devoted glutton of spicy Sichuan cuisine.

 

 

“韩国人很能吃辣，所以川菜的辣我可以接受。四川的辣椒里放了很多香料，所以辣得很香，味道更馥郁。”在大一的印象中，他吃过最辣的川菜不在自贡而在德阳。“德阳有一家哑巴兔，肉小小的很入味，真的有把我辣到。”他话锋一转，“不过自贡的烧烤，绝了！我在成都吃的烧烤都比不了。”

As he explained, “We South Koreans have no fears of spicy food, so the spiciness in Sichuan cuisine is something I can easily accept. What’s more, Sichuan chili peppers contain a lot of spices, making the flavorsstronger and more fragrant.”In Daeil’s memory, thespiciestSichuan dish that he ever tasted, that impressed him most, was not in Zigong but in Deyang. “There is a restaurant whose specialty is‘Yaba Rabbit’, where the cooked diced meat is both savory and spicy, which truly made my mouth burn.”Then he added, “Zigong barbecue is incredible and extremely palatable, and the barbecue I ate in Chengdu doesn’t even compare.”

作为一名“斜杠”青年，大一平时要打理公司事务，休息时才能外出拍视频。他的账号“大一的吃货生活”(dayifoodtrip)在中国互联网平台上有近30万粉丝。

As a ‘slash’youth with multiple titles, Daeilspends most of his time managing his companyand only goes out to shoot thesevideos in his spare time. His social media channel ‘dayifoodtrip’ already has nearly 300,000 followers on Chinese internet platforms.

大一与中国结缘始于2011年，当时他到北京工作并学习中文。此后几年，他在首尔、成都、上海之间换了几份职业，兜兜转转，直到2020年他才决定长居成都。“2017年我第一次来成都出差，就觉得这儿挺发达，吃的也不错，尤其夜生活很让人上头！”

Daeil's story with China started from 2011, when he went to Beijing to work and learn Chinese. In the following years, he took up different jobs in Seoul, Chengdu, and Shanghai, and it wasn’t until 2020 that he decided to settle in Chengdu. “When I first came to Chengdu on business in 2017, I considered it to be a prosperous city with a huge variety of delicious food, especially an unforgettable nightlife!”, he remarked.

在成都生活了四五年，大一也逐渐“蓉化”。他会去老社区、小巷子的犄角旮旯找吃的，感受江湖菜里的烟火气；他会在暑气蒸腾的季节去大邑、青城山、阿坝等地消夏；当大一去中国朋友家里过年，面对长辈的“催婚”，他也会打哈哈。

During his time in Chengdu, Daeilhas gradually developed the ‘Chengdu style’ way of life. For example, he hunted for food in remote corners of some old communities and alleys to understand the culinarytastes of authentic Sichuan cuisine. He pickedcool places such asDayi, the Mount Qingcheng, and Aba as his preferred holiday spots during hot summer days.Additionally, when Daeilwent to his Chinese friend’s home for Chinese New Year, he also laughed about and played offthose elders’‘urgings to get married’with the grace of a natural.

更重要的是，大一开始把美食当作连接人与人、沟通不同文化的桥梁。“通过美食视频，不同地方的网友可以增进了解，这才是最有意义的地方。”

Most importantly, Daeilstarted to treat food as a bridge to connect different people and exchange diverse cultures. He stated, “Through food videos, communications can be facilitated among netizens from a variety of areas, which is most significantto me.”

大一主页里最近一条视频，是关于他坐高铁去香港的。在此之前，从北京到广州，从曲阜到敦煌，他已经去了十几个省市。他的中国美食之行，还在继续。

One of the most recent videoson Daeil’s channel is about him taking the high-speed trainto Hong Kong. Before this trip, he had traveled to more than a dozen provinces and cities, such as from Beijng to Guangzhou, and from Qufu to Dunhuang. Nonetheless, his journey to Chinese food is still one that's ongoing to this day.
