hash slinger

hash slinger
A cook or food server in a cheap restaurant, especially one who is discourteous or inattentive to customers.

At first the spread was not very elaborate. . . . Originally it consisted of a chunk of well greased sole leather served hot, two boiled potatoes, a cup of muddy coffee, a bold of bread, a grunt or growl from the hash slinger, and, in warm weather, a few flies.
