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.

Noooo! …..yaaaaas!! Go Joey!
Edlimar M. Estrada
Why was I genuinely concerned that they were gonna get rid of it🤣
Velvia Keithley
One of the first things that I noticed when I started watching Bistro Huddy was how often Mahi Mahi was 86ed…☺️ Love it!
iuliana
No. I do too.
Sassymomma
Lol
Laurie Blanchard
Id LOVE to see the full menu! Is that weird?
Barbara
Radical
Annie
Ashley, 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.
Jack Black
They are the original dolphin fish. Because dolphins are also fish.
Ken Forman
Dolphinfish are not actually Dolphins. Two different animals.
Jack Black
So you agree.
Ashley C
No it isn't. But another name for a mahi mahi fish is dolphin fish.
Ashley C
We'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. 🤣
Brook Loewen
Yea I fell for it, it was first thing in the morning shut uuuup
Jilli
Me 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. 🤦♀️

I 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 💜
Ashley Chavis
Joey noooo 😭
Jack Black
Fun fact. Mahi mahi is actually dolphin. And it’s easily overcooked.
Annie
He’s a cruel man. I hope Amber takes Nicole’s advice and steers clear! (Although Oscar says it’s too late for that…)
Stephanie Hopkins
nooo not the mahi mahi!
Jesse Thompson
Since 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
Katie Hooton
There needs to be 86 Mahi Mahi merch!!!
Randall Keough
Haha, you got me Joey!!!
Maggie A Whitefoot
Ya had me, Joey! 😂
Gretchen Richer
You got me! Honestly, it wouldn't take much to fool me at Bistro Huddy where anything can happen
Grace Teshima
That's the best April fool's joke I've had all day!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Angeluna Fortuna
Had me for a sec. I order Mahi Mahi just to hear it’s 86’d. done steal my joy, Joey!! 😂
Julie Funke
I kinda fell for it but was waiting for Amber to come distract Chef Joey 🤣
Michelle Miller
USUALLY, 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.
Kaycee
DO NOT SCARE ME LIKE THAT OMGG😭😭😭😭
Genie
I don't care if BH 86s Mahi Mahi permanently as long as they never 86 their humor... 😉
Paige Knoblauch
Lmao! 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.
Narda Wakoluk
Lol. April Fool's! BTW...too much fish...chowdah!
Alannah ♡
The 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..
SC
Tastes so good they had to name it twice.
GarfieldCollector
At this point, he’s doing it on purpose
