About Pass & Plate

Tyler Rose

13 years in restaurants, from busser to director of restaurant operations

I'm Tyler Rose. I've spent 13 years in food and beverage and worked nearly every job in a restaurant, from bussing tables to running restaurant operations for a multi-outlet community with a team of more than 60 people.

Pass & Plate is where I share the kind of gear that holds up in working restaurants, for people who cook and serve for a living, the people who shop for them, and home cooks who want to cook like a pro.

How picks are chosen

I recommend the types of tools I've seen survive real kitchen use: heavy rotation, dishwashers, drops and double shifts. For specific products I look at build, brand track record and what thousands of buyers report after months of use. No company pays to be included.
