hashslinger
Greasy spoon worker
A hashslinger is a cook, especially one working in a cheap restaurant or diner.
The term evokes someone working quickly over a hot griddle, slinging out plates of hash and other simple fare: The hashslinger at the corner diner knows everyone's usual order.
The word is informal and somewhat dated, carrying a blue-collar, no-frills connotation.
