polish the silver

In the restaurant industry, and usually in fine dining, the flatware is polished using a cloth or napkin after coming out of the dishwasher so as to remove stains or food that did not come off during washing and to give the flatware a good appearance. Usually falls into the category of “side work.”

Mark, stop jawing with the bartenders and go polish the silver.
