chef's choice
Cook decides tonight
Chef's choice indicates that the selection is left to the chef rather than the customer.
At restaurants, ordering chef's choice means accepting whatever the kitchen prepares—often the freshest ingredients or the chef's specialty: I'll have the chef's choice omakase.
The phrase implies trust in the chef's judgment and expertise, and sometimes promises a more creative or personalized dish than standard menu items.
