I noticed a lot of the words that annoy people are regularly used in restaurant kitchens.
I was a line cook, I've used every variation of these words.
Annoyed by braised, EVOO, plating? Lmao
Hearing "plating" won't ruin my life, dear. I only ever heard Rachel Ray say it the one time I watched her show. I am not a TV freak, much less a daytime TV freak, but I had heard mention of this woman and her cooking show and it flitted across my eyes once when I was home sick.
To a normal person who is not in the restaurant business, "plating" sounds pretentious, as if someone is trying to show off that they know some sort of professional term. This is supposed to be a TV show for the ordinary person who likes to cook, isn't it? The use of "plating" on a show geared toward the average person cooking at home says this goofy-ass woman with a TV show is trying to be something she probably isn't. I don't know if she has any sort of professional food prep background or not, but she's not impressing anyone, at any rate.
I know what EVOO means, but until this thread, I never realized that anyone would actually say "EVOO", as if it is a word. Just say "olive oil".
Wisconsin does know dairy products. Cheese curds, grilled cheese, ice cream, and frozen custard. You can tell what I do in my spare time when I’m working there.

When I was a child, we went to Minnesota to see relatives several times. Once we stopped in LaCrosse specifically to get ice cream. I never had ice cream like that before or since. There was also a place that advertised with signs for miles. I can't write the name here. I can't imagine that it's still there, operating with that name.

In a restaurant "plating" is used because "serving" is something else. At home, people just get served or serve themselves, sometimes they even use a plate.

Yes, I do! Holding a handful of mashed potatoes is awkward and messy.

I do not find the term plating anything except descriptive. EVOO does not equate to olive oil.
English speakers regularly use such acronyms as ASAP, VIP, etc instead of an entire phrase. If I remember correctly, snafu started life as an acronym. I think EVOO is in that tradition, and it is in current use now.
One of the characteristics of modern English is its capacity to acqire, adapt and invent new words. You can’t keep it from happening. And it happens in the food world, just as in the broader mainstream.
Me too. I sometimes drive into Wisconsin to get cheese curds from Mars Cheese Castle. Totally worth it. There's also a Metra line going from Chicago to Kenosha, but there aren't many trains running on weekends.
Tim &Tom's over Mars Cheese Castle. Heck, even Woodman's in Pleasant Prairie. Fewer tourists pillaging the sample dishes.

Now where did I put my AR-15?
