waiting the tables

When a story takes a character who once had a lot to do and gives them some throwaway task to keep them busy. The term comes from the movie Ratatouille, when Linguini, who was once the restaurant’s top chef, is discovered to be faking it and Remi, the rat, takes over the kitchen, resorting Linguini to waiting the tables.

“Did you watch the new Star Wars movie? Finn was waiting the tables. He had nothing to do.”

freezer to table

An amazing, groundbreaking food movement that is now surpassing the once popular "farm to table" movement. Freezer to table involves taking frozen foods (such as tater tots, or giant vats of ice cream) that involve little to no preparation or culinary talent.

After a long night at The Clermont Lounge, I was starving and prepared a great freezer to table meal consisting of cheese sticks and Eggo Waffles.
