No matter what. So when the table is set, you always have the knives facing in, and then also whether you... So this is your resting position, so let's say you're enjoying a meal and you're just taking a break. This is what you do, so for those who are listening, it's your fork is...

placed with the tines down so like the pointy part of the fork is the tines and it's crossed over the knife just like that in the center of the plate in the center of the plate and then when you're finished you would go like this and this is what we call the silent service code so the server doesn't need to come over to everybody and ask like are you still enjoying are you finished they just see that you're

if you had a sauce or anything like that you would want to put it towards the bottom of your plate and it's practical because then you're less likely to spill because it's closer to you and any discards you have so that could be like a lemon rind or like an edible flower that you're actually not going to eat bones anything like that you would put them like on the side on the side to the top left corner

And so we see here we have our appetizer plate and then we also have our dinner plate. In a more formal meal, we might have a charger. We don't eat off of chargers. They're just beautiful things that look like dinner plates, but they're the first thing that you see when you sit down for a table. And we have our wine glass here and our water glass.

When you're holding anything with a stem, you want to hold it by the stem like this. And there's a couple of reasons here. First is that it preserves the temperature of whatever you're drinking. So wine in particular is served at a very specific temperature and the oil and the temperature of your hands can impact that.

It also creates fingerprints over the glass and it just doesn't look very good compared to holding it like this. And the same principle would apply if you were holding a water glass like this. with your fingers together because it's... Changes the temperature of the liquid. It changes the temperature and it's just more elegant than like the clawgrass or something like that.

Your napkin would go on your chair if you were getting up and you intend to come back. And ideally, in this situation, we have an arm to our chair. So then I would put it on the arm of my chair because it's slightly more sanitary than where you actually sit. But if not, I would put it on the seat of the chair. And then when you're done, I would put my napkin to the left.
