DJNazzy discovered 27 months ago- A decent set of lingo from the front staff point of view. My favourite, and unique, piece of lingo from my restaurant is "Dr. Bob." We use it as a verb, by saying "can you Dr. Bob that pasta?" or "Paging Dr. Bob!" - It merely means that when when the pasta cook has forgotten to do a baked pasta, or the calling cook has forgotten to call the baked pasta, the pasta guy is forced to heat the pasta in a pan with the sauce, and then melt the cheese on it in the salamander. What is produced is a perfect, however more tedious, baked pasta. For example, our lingo is extensive enough to confuse THE HELL out of people who don't work there - and it goes both ways...I say Calamari full out, the head guy at our new place says "Cali" every time. Let's see if I can exhaust my list of lingo before I get bored: Baked Tortellini Alfredo = BTA or Baked Tort Alf Teriyaki Prawn and Chicken Caesar = Teri Prawn Chicken or Beef Souvlaki = Chicken or Beef Souvi (Soo-Vee) Seafood Cannelloni = Sea Cann Prawn and Scallop Linguini = Prawn Scallop Penne Prima Vera Alfredo or Marinara = Prima Alf or Prima with Marinara Seafood Fetticini = Sea Fett Onion Rings = O's Shrimp Linguini and Pesto = Pesto Crescent Beach Special = CBS and of course, our pizzas are numbered and we know off by heart that a #6 tastes awesome, a #10 is the same as a Delrios Special but only sans Italian sausage, and a #2 has shrimp and mushrooms and gets soggy if you don't remember to drain the shrimp like crazy etc... etc...I'm bored. My point is that if you look up lingo, it will be very specific to each restaurant. Cooking or serving, actions or dishes' names, each place will call it differently.
