Imagine standing in line, craving the seasonal panzanella salad, only to hear the dreaded words: "86 the special." Whether you've dined out or worked in a restaurant, chances are you've encountered the term “86” shouted from the kitchen, signaling a dish is no longer available. If you've worked in hospitality, as a chef, line cook, or part of the front-of-house team, you've probably even used it yourself. "86" is a term every restaurant worker, guest, and owner should know. Its origins may be a bit mysterious, but it’s long been a staple in the restaurant, bar, and hospitality world. What does the restaurant industry's 86 mean? In the restaurant world, "eighty-six" or "86" means taking an item off the menu because it's no longer available. This can happen for several reasons, maybe the kitchen ran out of key ingredients or the item has spoiled. For example, the herbs needed for the spring rolls might have wilted, or a bottle of Zinfandel from the wine list could have oxidized. Running out of ingredients is the most common reason something gets 86'd. It’s also possible that the necessary prep work for a dish wasn’t completed earlier in the day, making it impossible to serve. Regardless of the reason, "86" is a quick and effective way to communicate that a menu item is off the table.
