Why restaurants now pay attention to kids’ menus?
为什么餐厅现在注重儿童菜单？

Kids' menus these days don't have to consist only of insipid chicken nuggets and frozen hot dogs. At restaurants across the country, kids now eat just as well as the adults. Here's why chefs are investing in their youngest diners.
如今的儿童菜单不一定只有清淡的鸡块或热狗。现在在全国各地的餐厅，儿童吃的和成年人一样好。以下是厨师如今重视儿童顾客的原因。

1. A reason to bring the whole family

//吸引整个家庭
Chefs are parents, too. That was really at the heart of it for Tony Maws, the chef behind Craigie on Main and the family-friendly Kirkland Tap & Trotter. "Family meals are really important to me. The idea is that parents can come out, have an adult beverage, and enjoy themselves while they're eating with their kids," he says.
厨师也是父母。这是Tony Maws（餐厅Craigie on Main和Kirkland Tap & Trotter的主厨）的核心思想。他说：“家庭餐对我来说真的很重要。我的想法就是父母出去吃饭，就算和他们的孩子一起，大人也可以饮用成人酒水，享受自我。”

2. Kids should eat real food

//儿童应该吃真正的美食
"There has to be real food," Maws says. "If we were going to serve chicken to kids, it's going to be the same chicken that's on the adults' menu." As Joe Sparatta, chef of Top 50 Best New Restaurant nominee Southbound in Richmond, puts it, "We don't want kids to eat the way we do late at night when we're tired."
“给孩子吃的必须是真正的美食，”Maws说。“如果孩子要吃鸡肉，我们就应该为其提供和成人菜单上一样好的鸡肉。”就如餐厅Southbound（获里士满新餐厅50强提名）的主厨Joe Sparatta说的，“我们不希望孩子吃的像我们深夜疲惫时候随便应付的一样。”

3. Training palates

// 训练味蕾
"Allowing kids to eat like regular people is a good step to get them to eat healthier and think about these things in a different way. So we serve them something a little different that won't freak them out," Sparatta says.
“让孩子们吃的和正常人一样是促使他们健康饮食的良好一步，也是让他们以不同方式对待饮食的良好一步。所以我们为孩子们提供的食物有点不一样，又不至于太过了。”Sparatta说。
