Definitions

The chef (or senior sous) standing at the pass calling tickets, timing courses across stations, wiping rims, dropping the final garnish and waving plates out the door. It's the highest-pressure job in the kitchen during service — you're conducting six stations, reading the dining room, and refusing to send anything that doesn't look right. Gordon Ramsay built a whole TV career on it.
“Chef's running the pass tonight so don't even think about sending a sloppy plate.”
