signature dish
Restaurant's defining creation
A signature dish is a restaurant's or chef's most distinctive creation—the item they're known for and that sets them apart.
It represents their culinary identity and often draws customers specifically seeking it out: The molten chocolate cake is the restaurant's signature dish.
By extension, any cook's trademark recipe: Mom's lasagna was her signature dish.
