After the cooks put the finishing touches on a dish, the plate or bowl of food is placed under the warmers until all the other dishes that go to its same table are ready. The warmers are above a steel shelf about 5 ft high, and stand behind a 3 ft wide steel counter top.
Yesterday my manager, Bob, apparently spilled some kind of salad dressing on himself. I chuckled as I entered the kitchen to find him cursing under his breath and wiping off his tie with a wet rag. After running food out to my customers, I re-entered the kitchen to see Bob drying his tie...by leaning over the counter and holding it under the food warmers.
