chef's station
Cook's designated area
A chef's station is a designated work area in a professional kitchen where a cook performs specific tasks.
Each station—sauté, grill, pastry, garde manger—has its own equipment, ingredients, and responsibilities.
The chef assigned to a station is responsible for all dishes that pass through it: She runs the fish station on busy nights.
