    This aspect of a professional kitchen is what has always intimidated me the most.
    Managing all of these tables and orders and working the pass just makes my mind boggle. Timing drops and managing your cooks to ensure everything comes together at the right time… I can barely keep up.
    Big respect.

      Funny, from these videos, I've gathered that most of the time, the dishes go out as they're ready at Fallow. There does appear to be some effort to fire at the same time, and sometimes the dishes wait at the pass a bit of time, but it doesn't seem to be absolutely critical that all dishes arrive at exactly the same time as it would be at other restaurants. (Indeed, the menu reads that all dishes are served for the table to share, which reduces the pressure to serve everyone at the same time.) I have taken note that sometimes the ticket will request all at the same time; unsure if that's to ensure starters and mains are at the same time or what.

    The greens and carrots look AMAZING, heard what the fellow at one of the tables that was American, and you said he’s used to grain fed beef; I disagree he’s just not used to a rump steak, or as we call it in the States top sirloin!! He was prolly thinking he’d get a cut from a prime rib, which is very typical for an American restaurant of the same caliber; the use the whole animal philosophy is still catching on here

We sometimes have 250-300 plates going out at the exact same time and our pass is just a mountain of plates, which can be hectic. However i have mad respect for anyone who can command a to-order pass this efficiently, soo many different aspects and timings going through your head at once.

      He is using normal sharpies but as luck would have it there is a sharpie variant called RT marker (name might differ in your area) that has a retractable tip like a normal clickie ballpoint pen. Other nice pens are those that are used in trades. Basically a marker with a sheath that functions like a cap and a belt clip for quick and easy one hand use.

      Strong sear initially, then placed into warming oven below meat chef's station, but only enough to cook it slightly further, not remove pinkness.
