Character Vlog: 86 Mahi Mahi
Added 2024-04-01 15:00:13 +0000 UTCJoey finally addresses the consistent issue with Mahi Mahi running out.
BTW, if you didn't know, "86" is code for running out of a menu item. It can also mean a customer has been kicked out. Example: "We're 86 Mahi Mahi" (meaning "We're out of Mahi Mahi") or "You're 86'd buddy. Get out." (meaning "You have to leave and don't come back.")
Also, there are MANY theories as to the origin of the term "86," but none of them have ever been definitely proven to be THE true origin. But no matter how many times I say this, there will be people INSISTING that their version is THE true version. I think people believe the story they were taught at their first restaurant or bartender job.

2024-04-12 06:04:01 +0000 UTCOne of the first things that I noticed when I started watching Bistro Huddy was how often Mahi Mahi was 86ed…☺️ Love it!

2024-04-03 15:02:43 +0000 UTCAshley, I understand. I want to see (or write) the Bistro Huddy menu based upon peering minutely at transcripts to figure out what’s on each dish. I’m afraid the Chicken Santa Fe could not possibly be from Santa Fe.

2024-04-03 00:43:21 +0000 UTCThey are the original dolphin fish. Because dolphins are also fish.
Jack Black
2024-04-02 17:48:18 +0000 UTCDolphinfish are not actually Dolphins. Two different animals.
Ken Forman
2024-04-02 17:47:29 +0000 UTCSo you agree.
Jack Black
2024-04-02 13:05:59 +0000 UTCNo it isn't. But another name for a mahi mahi fish is dolphin fish.

2024-04-02 13:03:30 +0000 UTCWe're not gonna talk about how invested I am in the menu of a fictional restaurant, but needless to say, that was a fantastic April Fools. 🤣

2024-04-02 13:02:07 +0000 UTCYea I fell for it, it was first thing in the morning shut uuuup

2024-04-02 06:15:12 +0000 UTCMe over here getting legit steamed up thinking “why do the complainers have to ruin it for everyone” Nevermind that I’m a vegetarian and would never order the mahi mahi anyway. Oh and that it’s not real. 🤦♀️

2024-04-02 04:42:24 +0000 UTCI always thought 86d came from the military but most slang doesn't have one definitive origin. My linguistics mentor always would tell me that stuff just gets popular and spreads- often from multiple sources. And I love when shit just comes from the ppl 💜

2024-04-02 03:13:46 +0000 UTCJoey noooo 😭
Ashley Chavis
2024-04-02 00:28:25 +0000 UTCFun fact. Mahi mahi is actually dolphin. And it’s easily overcooked.
Jack Black
2024-04-01 22:37:04 +0000 UTCHe’s a cruel man. I hope Amber takes Nicole’s advice and steers clear! (Although Oscar says it’s too late for that…)
Annie
2024-04-01 22:20:59 +0000 UTCnooo not the mahi mahi!
Stephanie Hopkins
2024-04-01 19:23:31 +0000 UTCSince most restaurants seem to do this with *baked potatoes*, I don't feel shook that it can happen with an expensive type of seafood lol
Jesse Thompson
2024-04-01 19:11:50 +0000 UTCThere needs to be 86 Mahi Mahi merch!!!

Angeluna Fortuna
2024-04-01 16:01:00 +0000 UTCI kinda fell for it but was waiting for Amber to come distract Chef Joey 🤣
Julie Funke
2024-04-01 15:46:19 +0000 UTCUSUALLY, too much of something is better than not enough.... but I think easily perishable foodstuffs are the exception. Better to run out than to throw out.
Michelle Miller
2024-04-01 15:39:34 +0000 UTCDO NOT SCARE ME LIKE THAT OMGG😭😭😭😭
Kaycee
2024-04-01 15:28:59 +0000 UTCI don't care if BH 86s Mahi Mahi permanently as long as they never 86 their humor... 😉
Genie
2024-04-01 15:28:42 +0000 UTCLmao! My BF and I were just talking about this... About how it is better to run out than have too much, because if it is continuously sold out then that means it is a crazy popular menu item and basically feeds the demand for it by making people think it is the best item on the menu since it's always gone quickly. I made mention of this thought to him and he told me that as a kitchen manager he always slightly under ordered the big ticket items. Both to undercut loss if it wasn't as busy a weekend as usual, and to help drive demand for it every other night of the week. I also think that if you get your large order Thursday night/ Friday morning in preparation for the weekend rush, then if it runs out halfway through the week people have to wait for the weekend dinner when prices are more.

2024-04-01 15:28:05 +0000 UTCLol. April Fool's! BTW...too much fish...chowdah!
Narda Wakoluk
2024-04-01 15:27:28 +0000 UTCThe way I actually almost fell for it.. but then I was like no they wouldn’t. What would Joey yell all the time? 86 his sanity? That does almost make sense though..
Alannah ♡
2024-04-01 15:25:39 +0000 UTCTastes so good they had to name it twice.
