Gifts for Interns - Desk Plates for Line Cooks
You work in the heat, burn yourself daily, and somehow keep tickets moving when everything comes in at once.
Why This Works
Line cooking is the backbone of every restaurant. You're underpaid, overheated, and somehow still proud of every plate.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
