Costco is the holy grail of bulk buying, the cathedral of wholesale. But it's not all about 10-pound jars of peanut butter.
A stop at Costco's humble food court — after walking miles around the cavernous warehouse — is a shameless reward for buying enough extra paper towels to fill your entire car trunk.
Costco是批量购买和批发的天堂。但是不是只有10磅一罐的花生酱。在步行完数公里的巨型仓库，如果只买了成堆的纸巾塞满你的车厢而不在Costco简单的饮食区停留是可耻的。
The food court is simple yet esteemed by Costco diehards. Amazingly, it's one of the biggest pizza chains in the US, and nationwide it sells roughly 100 million hot dogs a year, at extremely low prices.
饮食区建设的很简单但是还是受一些Costco铁杆粉所推崇。令人惊讶的是，它也是美国最大的披萨连锁之一，并且一年在全国大概卖有1亿个热狗，价格极低。
After several readers expressed their regard for Costco's hot dogs and pizza, we took a trip to the retail giant's Brooklyn location in March to discover all its revered food-court glories — and it totally exceeded our expectations
在看到很多读者表达他们对Costco的热狗和披萨的推崇之后，我们去了一趟位于布鲁克林的零售巨头，验证了它提供的所有食物的声誉并且结果完全超出我们的预期。
The food court at Costco doesn't offer the most varied selection, but it's cheap, quick, and provides a nice treat for customers after a long day of shopping.
Costco的饮食区不提供那么多多样化的选择，但是很便宜，很快并且在顾客长时间购物之后提供很好的接待。
We ordered one of each item on the menu, excluding the salad, smoothies, and ice cream — those are pretty uninteresting, run-of-the-mill items.
菜单中的东西我们每样点了一个，包括沙拉，冰沙，和冰激淋，这些没有太大花样，很普通的东西。
We did not expect the servings to be so enormous and dirt cheap. This entire selection costs just over $25. Let's delve in and go through the choices.
我们一开始并没有期望提供的有多大分量和巨便宜。但是整个点花费只有25美元多一点。让我们开始一探究竟并且过一遍这些选择。
Cheese pizza
We heard about the slices of pizza at Costco being gigantic, but after seeing it for ourselves we understand what people are talking about. One slice should be considered two — and for $1.99 a slice we're not complaining!
我们听到过Costco的披萨切片是很大的，但是我们自己真的看到了之后才了解了他们所说的。这样的一片披萨相当于两片-并且只有1.99美元一片，我们没什么好抱怨的
The pizza is extremely doughy, but it's not soggy. The cheese it lightly burned on top, the sauce is sweet, and the pizza provides a warm comfort that we guiltily indulged in.
披萨很软，但是又不潮。奶酪轻烧在上面，酱料是甜的，并且披萨提供给我们沉浸的温暖舒适的感觉。
If we were to compare Costco pizza to its fast-food counterparts, it most closely resembles Pizza Hut's salty extra-cheesy pizza, which won our taste test for serving the best chain cheese pizza.
Is it the best pizza in the world? No, far from it. But one wouldn't expect gourmet slices from a Costco food court — for what it is, it's a fantastic deal nonetheless.
如果我们将Costco的披萨与快餐店对标，它最相似于Pizza Hut’s咸味的加量奶酪披萨，它曾赢得我们品尝测试最好的连锁奶酪披萨。它会是世界上最好的披萨吗?不，当然不是，但是没人会向Costco的饮食区去期望这么美味的披萨-不管价值怎样，但是这仍是很棒的一餐
Hot dog
Customers can order one hot dog, plus a drink, for $1.50. Customers have the option to add ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, and sauerkraut (if you ask) to the supersized dog. The bun is soft and sweet; it holds the dog and condiments well, without succumbing to sogginess.
顾客可以1.5美元点一只热狗加上一杯饮料。可以给这个特大号热狗选择加番茄酱，芥末，调味料，洋葱，和德国酸菜(如果你要求的话)。面包很软，甜;能很好的包裹住热狗和调味品，不会压的很黏黏湿湿的。
The dog is very flavorful — it has a slightly smokiness to it, similar to kielbasa. Costco sells over 100 million hot dogs a year, according to the Daily Meal. That's more than all the MLB baseball parks combined sell in an entire season.
这个热狗是非常可口的-轻微的烟熏，很像波兰熏肠。根据Daily Meal报道，Costco一年卖出去超过一亿个热狗。那比所有MLB棒球场一整个赛季加起来都要多。
This is easily one of the best hot dogs we've tried, at least in terms of fast, cheap food. Our expectations were low, so the quality is all the more surprising.
这无疑是我们尝过的最好吃的热狗之一，至少在快速，廉价的食品中。我们的期望很低，所以品质带来的全都是惊喜。
Italian sausage
Costco leaves one place on its menu for a rotating item. When we visited in March, the Italian sausage was being served for a mere $2.79.
Costco将菜单中留了一块地方是轮换的产品。我们当时是3月份前往，提供的是意大利香肠，价格仅仅只有2.79美元。
The sausage was in very high demand when we went to order: We waited 15 minutes for them to make enough to keep up.
当我们去点单时候，这种香肠是非常高需求的：我们等了十五分钟才足够去供应。
When we finally received the hefty Italian sausage, doused in grilled peppers and onions, it seemed to be too much for the soft bun to handle. The bun is the same one used for the hot dog, and while it worked great for the dog, it doesn't work as well with the bulky sausage.
我们最后拿到这个巨大的意大利香肠，填有烤辣椒和洋葱，看起来太多了面包有些装不下。面包是和热狗用的同样的面包，但是对热狗来说十分棒，对大香肠来说并不是很适用。
The entire thing is a soggy mess. It tastes great, but not spectacular. Although the sausage looks perfectly charred, it lacks the flavorful kick of traditional Italian sausage.
里面东西是湿杂的。尝起来很棒但不是惊人的。虽然香肠看起来完全烤焦了，但仍有传统意大利香肠的风味。
Hot turkey-and-provolone sandwich
火鸡和意大利干酪三明治
This perfectly packed hot sandwich, with cheese melting off the sides, is priced at $3.99.
这个包装完美，奶酪融在每片上的热三明治，价格3.99美元。
After the first bite, we were both pleasantly surprised. We weren't expecting anything amazing, judging from the sandwich's rather homely appearance, but this is delicious.
吃第一口之后，我们都是很惊喜的。我们没有期望每个东西都是很惊人的，根据三明治相当普通的外观判断，但是这是很美味的。
This simple-looking sandwich is packed with quality ingredients. The thickly sliced turkey tastes like it's fresh from the deli; the melted provolone cheese provides a sharp bite, and the bread is warm and toasted.
这个简单外观的三明治塞满有质量的配料。厚切片火鸡肉尝起来像是新鲜制作的;融化的意大利奶酪提供很饱满的一口，并且面包烤的很热。
Costco's one-of-a-kind chicken bake looks like a golden brick of carb-loaded goodness, priced at $2.99.
Costco独一无二的烤鸡肉价格2.99美元。
We were, and still are, confused about what exactly this is. We want to compare it to a hot pocket, but it has its differences. After biting into the crispy golden shell, the melted cheese and chicken poured out.
我们很困惑，并且现在还是很困惑这到底是什么。我们想要将它与肉馅派来比较，但是又有所不同。咬碎金脆的饼皮子后，融化的奶酪和鸡肉展示出来了。
This is different from a hot pocket because it's packed with juicy chicken. It's not skimpy. The cheese, Caesar dressing, and bits of bacon make for an unusual yet oddly enjoyable and indulgent combination.
不同于肉馅派是因为里面装满了多汁的鸡肉。分量不少。奶酪，凯撒酱，培根碎末制成了一个不寻常然而很奇怪的满足和任性的融合。
BBQ brisket sandwich
烤牛腩三明治
Enveloped in white cardboard, this seems like the Mount Everest of huge sandwiches, even though it's priced reasonably at $4.99.
白卡纸包装，看起来像是珠穆朗玛峰的巨型三明治，即使这样它只有4.99美元这样很合理的价格。
This sandwich is packed with more than it can handle. We took the cardboard off and the meat gently tumbled out. After taking a huge bite of the massive sandwich, our eyes lit up.
这个三明治填满的比它能包裹的还要多。我们拿下白开纸，然后肉就慢慢溢出来了。在尝了一大口三明治之后，我们眼前一亮。
We're instantly blown away. It may sound dubious, but this Costco brisket sandwich is one of the best we've had.
我们立马交口称赞。这可能听起来有点值得怀疑，但是这个Costco牛腩三明治是我们吃过的最好吃的之一。
The brisket is savory and sweet and melts in your mouth. The coleslaw adds a nice crunch and picante bite to the texture. The bun is soggy, but we barely noticed because the velvety, tender brisket sweeps us off our feet. We're still in awe of this sandwich.
牛腩又香又甜，融化在你嘴里。卷心菜沙拉增加酥脆的口感。面包湿湿的，但是我们很难注意，因为可口的嫩滑的牛腩已经让我们无力招架。我们仍然对这个三明治感到很震撼。
Churros
吉拿棒，西班牙油条
We ordered three churros, not thinking that they would be as gigantic as they were — they're nearly as long as a forearm. Priced at $1 each, they're one of the best deals on the menu.
我们点了三根，没有想过他们会是这么大-接近前臂一样长。价格是1美元一个，他们是菜单中最好的产品之一。
Costco's supersized churros are crunchy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The dough has a smooth, slight vanilla taste, and is lightly coated with cinnamon sugar.
Costco超大型的吉拿棒外表是脆的但是里面是又暖又软的。面团很细腻，有轻微的香草味道，并且轻轻涂有肉桂糖
Verdict: We went to Costco with low expectations of its food court ...
结论：我们带着很低的期望去了Costco的饮食区…
But we were completely blown away. The food at Costco is supersized, delicious, and indulgent. It may not be the healthiest food, but it's a guilty pleasure we plan to cater to more often.
但是我们是完全震惊的。Costco的食物份量很大，美味并且大众。它可能不是最健康的食物，但是是我们计划更经常去品尝的很罪恶的享受。
