Which statement is true about Russian service?

• A. Food is cooked in the kitchen and food is transferred to the guest's plate using a serving fork.
• B. The server plates all dishes before serving.
• C. Guests are not allowed to use utensils.
• D. The server uses a ladle to serve portions.

Answer: (A)

In Russian service, the preparation happens in the kitchen and the server brings a platter to the table, portioning the food onto each guest’s plate with a serving fork. This at-table portioning gives the server control over portions and presentation and keeps plating out of the guests’ hands. It also explains why pre-plated dishes in the kitchen and using a ladle for portions aren’t appropriate for this style, and why guests still use utensils.
