The city of San Francisco, California, is known as a city for people who love food, or "foodies." There are many of award-winning restaurants.
加利福尼亚州旧金山市以热爱美食的人或“美食家”而闻名。有许多屡获殊荣的餐厅。
 
San Franciscans also love dogs. So, dog owner and chef Rahmi Massarweh decided to combine his two loves into one. He has opened the first and only restaurant for dogs.
旧金山人也喜欢狗。因此，狗主人兼厨师Rahmi Massarweh 决定将他的两种爱合二为一。他开了第一家也是唯一一家狗餐厅。
 
The restaurant is called Dogue. The name is like the word "vogue," which means "fashion." It opened in September in the city's popular Mission District.
这家餐厅叫Dogue。这个名字就像“vogue”这个词，意思是“时尚”。它于 9 月在该市受欢迎的 Mission 区开业。
 
Individual dishes cost around $30. Or, for $75 dollars each, dogs can dine on a multi-course "bone appetite" meal. The special meal includes chicken skin waffles and raw steak with a quail egg. The price also includes a baked good and an alcoholic drink for the dog's owner.
每道菜的价格约为 30 美元。或者，每只 75 美元，狗就可以享用多道菜的“骨头食欲”餐。特色餐包括鸡皮华夫饼和生牛排配鹌鹑蛋。价格还包括为狗主人提供的烘焙食品和酒精饮料。
 
Massarweh left his job of running a fine dining restaurant to open his Dogue.
Massarweh 辞去了经营一家高级餐厅的工作，开始经营他的 Dogue。
 
Some people are expressing their opinions about the costly menu. They are noting some of the city's issues, including income inequality, homelessness, and gentrification. Gentrification is the process of changing a place by making it more appealing to wealthier people.
有些人正在表达他们对昂贵菜单的看法。他们注意到该市的一些问题，包括收入不平等、无家可归和高档化。绅士化是改变一个地方的过程，使其对更富有的人更具吸引力。
 
But Massarweh has received a lot of support from his customers. They are thankful to have a place to treat their furry friend. Recently, Dogue held three dog birthday parties at the same time.
但是，Massarweh 得到了客户的大力支持。他们很庆幸有一个地方可以招待他们毛茸茸的朋友。近日，Dogue同时举办了三场狗狗生日派对。
 
Gledy Espinoza is the owner of Mason. He is an 11-year-old miniature dachshund. Mason enjoyed some mushroom soup with pieces of chicken.
Gledy Espinoza 是 Mason 的所有者。他是一只 11 岁的迷你腊肠犬。梅森享用了一些蘑菇汤和鸡肉片。
 
"I wanted to celebrate him. He is so special to me. He's my four-legged child and this is the perfect place to do a really nice celebration. We're foodies. I guess he is too, now," Espinoza said.
“我想庆祝他。他对我来说很特别。他是我的四足孩子，这是举行非常好的庆祝活动的理想场所。我们是美食家。我想他现在也是，”埃斯皮诺萨说。
 
Massarweh uses costly ingredients to prepare his food. Everything he makes could be eaten safely by humans, but we probably would not like it. The dog dishes may taste very bland, or flavorless, to us.
Massarweh 使用昂贵的原料来准备他的食物。他所做的一切都可以被人类安全食用，但我们可能不会喜欢它。狗菜对我们来说可能味道很淡，或无味。
 
Dogue's goal is to spread the idea of feeding dogs fresh, healthy, and natural food. Some research shows that natural food may be better for a dog's stomach than the dog food that you can buy in a store.
Dogue 的目标是传播给狗喂食新鲜、健康和天然食物的理念。一些研究表明，天然食物可能比您在商店购买的狗粮更适合狗的胃部。
 
Massarweh said he enjoys seeing the joy that Dogue brings to its customers.
Massarweh 说，他很高兴看到 Dogue 给客户带来的快乐。
 
"I've worked in restaurants for many years, and it's rare when as a chef, I walk into the dining room…and every single guest has a smile on their face," he said. "There's something very unique and satisfying about that."
“我在餐厅工作了很多年，作为一名厨师，我很少走进餐厅……每个客人脸上都挂着微笑，”他说。“这有一些非常独特和令人满意的东西。”
