When I used to work at restaurants, I only ever heard it in the context of being out of something; I've never heard it used to refer to excluding something from a dish. I wonder if that's regional or generational or something. Interesting.

    Having worked food service, it means your restaurants didn't get bad ingredients and such - I've had in receiving calls back and forth from the kitchen about what is 86 for now. Usually "salmon warm, 86 salmon" . Which would get a call back about what other stuff is supposed to be thrown out with it. "86 the peas they won't make next shipment."

    OK, I should be more specific. From a diner's point of view, we are out of something. Yeah, we had to 86 something because of food quality.

    I was confused by OP's Or if you just want toast but it’s past breakfast you could order “a ham sandwich on wheat toast, 86 the ham.” to refer to a way of ordering something without an ingredient; I've never seen this.
