Definitions

Old-school kitchen insult, traced to the French 'savatier' (cobbler) — a cook with the finesse of someone hammering boot leather. Burns the fish, drops the sauce, plates like a toddler. One of the worst things a chef can call you on the line.
“Get this shoemaker off the grill before he sends another grey steak to table 4.”
