chef's table
Cook's premium spot
A chef's table is a premium dining experience at a table positioned in or near the restaurant kitchen, offering direct interaction with the chef and often a customized tasting menu: We splurged on the chef's table for our anniversary.
The term also refers to the table itself.
By extension, it names any exclusive, behind-the-scenes culinary experience.
