A plate that can't go to a guest — wrong cook, wrong order, sent back, sat too long, dropped. Dead plates are the staff's dinner if the cook isn't egregious, or the bin if it is. Every dead plate is money walking out the door, which is why chefs hate them on a primal level.
“Chef wants the medium-rare refired — that one's a dead plate, eat it on break.”
