shuttle plate
Small plate used to transport food from one dish to another. Very useful in large family style dinners. Orriginated at Buca de Beppo, Austin TX.
Sure, you can try some of my chicken, send the shuttle plate down here so I can pass you some.
Party of 12 for dinner please, and we will need at least 2 shuttle plates.
