away Explanation: This is the common expression for ask chefs to begin preparing food in the UK, otherwise known as calling food away. Starters away, mains away, desserts away etc for table XX. "Mains away chef, table 1!" for example. http://website.tevalis.com/Messaging-facility.html Kitchen staff will also be alerted when courses are required through our course away messaging which allows for quick communication with kitchen staff using starters away/mains away/deserts away/coffees away allowing for an increased speed of service during busy service periods. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2011-09-26 21:44:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.onehungrychef.com/2008/11/small-fish.html As meat comes on order, I start to cook it immediately, so that while the customers are eating their first course, their steak is cooking and resting in a warm place. When they are “called away,” that is, ready for their mains, the meat has become perfectly tender and moist, and no one has to wait too long for their meal. Subsequently, on top of calling dockets, plating hot entrées, and directing the waiters, I was now trying to keep track of a dozen or so steaks on my grill. Table by table the starters went out and, suddenly, or what seemed like suddenly, there was nothing. The printer had stopped, we had all the entrées out, and all the steaks were resting. And not a single table had been called away... ...These, at any rate, were the thoughts firing around in my brain in those free-fall seconds before it all began to happen. Tick, tick-tick, tick, tick. “MAINS AWAY 616! MAINS AWAY 201! MAINS AWAY 314!” |
