86’d

86 is a commonly used term in restaurants that indicates an item is out of stock or no longer available to be served to guests.

We served it.
It sold out while it was still hot.
Then we 86’d it — not because we had to,
but because legends know when to exit the stage.

Of course, we sent it off in style —
chef’s blowing kisses, kitchen claps, the whole send-off.
Ugh. You had to be there.

You weren’t… but lucky for you,
the universe runs on second chances —
for those bold enough to ask.

So go ahead:
Cast your culinary ballot.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
