This is probably pretty specific to where I work..
Danishing...the act of wandering through the dining room just before lunch, polishing off the desired tidbits in each bread basket.
others I've heard
a hockey puck..for a well done burger
on the fly....means do it fast
brakes on the mayo...no mayonaise
a hamburger honeymooning....lettuce alone
The words "order" and "pick up" were the only two things I would allow waiters to say in the kitchen. They would say order and put the dupe on the spindle. We would do whatever was needed to get the dish almost ready. and when they said pickup, we'd finish it and plate it. I don't know what I would do if I worked in a kitchen with a mindless little printer spewing tickets at me.
this has something to do with being Schanno'd. Every time someone quit or got fired I would take the last thing they prepped and freeze some of it. then later we'd take it out and say '"remember this jerk." I once had a lunch cook who took dinner items, changed them all around, and ran them as lunch specials with the same name. I told him that was kind of showing up the rest of us. Nice dish, but call it something else. When he quit I gave him a package of
hot dogs and said "Russell, I've worked with a lot of
hot dogs, but you pally, are Oscar Meyer." It took him a minute to figure out the insult.
