Пълно описание

The kitchen is shouting. And you are confused.

Somewhere between "fire the table" and "86 the salmon," the restaurant became its own country, with its own language, spoken at full volume while someone carries something hot. This field guide translates it: 50 specimens of restaurant slang, each documented like wildlife, with its habitat, a real callout, its true meaning, and precise instructions for what to do about it. (Usually: move.)

Prepared with a completely straight face by the (entirely fictional) Institute for Culinary Dialectology, which has never worked a double and is therefore the only well-rested party in hospitality, it's part dictionary, part comedy, and one hundred percent the funniest thing in the break room.

Inside you'll finally decode in the weeds, on the fly, all day, fire, camper, clopen, sandbagging, shift drink, and dozens more, ending on the oldest word in the trade: 86, which does not mean nothing. It means gone.

The perfect gag gift for:
• The line cook who has cried in a walk-in
• The server working a double on their birthday
• A brand-new host about to survive their first Saturday
• Anyone who has ever said "behind" in a grocery store by accident

The language of the line, decoded. Read it before service. You will not have time during. ```
